Unfortunately, I'm unable to offer any advice on photography, my own efforts pay testimony to that! I will say though, I've noticed a marked difference in the way digital cameras perform compared to the old SLR cameras. My cheap digital camera often washes out colour and unifies tones. Perhaps a better quality one would be a benefit for me. Out of the question due to finances!!! The boathouse picture is a lovely, calm image. I love it's quiet, open atmosphere which is conveyed by your delicate handling of the subject.

I do not even guess why...<br />Or a camera (= mechanic) does not have sensitivity to pick up your blue. Does it make sense? <br />Always photos do not pick up like real colours. Once, I asked camera club members for help, but they had no absolute solutions. Printing as well. Ink has only a few colours, we know. <br />Kind regards, SadamiSadamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072887743830381833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-420511250030094931.post-66279579525953799332013-10-21T02:09:39.468-07:002013-10-21T02:09:39.468-07:00Thanks, Ann.
