I hope you don't mind if I use your shot to bring up a point/question. Even though, you mananged to capture "red" well, why is it that digital cameras do not "read" the color red. I have always dissapointed with my results. #51821Murry Grigsby August 11, 2003
Nicely done, Dana. Looks like your color here is spot-on for this flower. #162905Dana D. Wiggins Thompson August 11, 2003
Thanks Murry and Brinn! Brinn, do you manually adjust your light meter? I do not leave mine on automatic because I find that the saturation becomes too much! I can never capture red or hot pink with the white balance on auto... I have to set it manually according to the light conditions. #162939Brinn MacDougall August 11, 2003
Good point! I find myself over-looking the light meter! It's set on auto... and now I know why I get those results!! Thanks so much for the reminder - check, check and double check before shooting... #162948Leanne M.E. Boyd August 11, 2003
Beautiful, Dana!!! I love the rich colour, texture, and composition. #162961Damian P. Gadal August 11, 2003
Same here, the camera doesn't like red, so you have to switch to manual to overcome that problem! #162969Dana D. Wiggins Thompson August 11, 2003
Well Brinn, it took me a while to get used to setting mine too... But once I learned how, it made all the difference in the world! #162982Loft Portugal August 12, 2003
