[QUOTE="MeSess, post: 297082, member: 21237"] I'm having the same problem and it only happens for reds and yellows. According to the tips that I came across online this is happening because your camera is overexposing these colors. The best way around it is to shoot in light that isn't as harsh. Ideally overcast days or cloudy days where the light isn't direct. If you're shooting in direct sunlight the reds will almost always be blown out. A way around this during direct sunlight times is to use something to shade or reflect some of the light from directly hitting the flowers. I can't figure out how to save the details without using those tips. Some people suggest that you focus and meter on something green first and then capture the flowers so that the color is exposed properly. I have no idea how to do that though. [/QUOTE]
