[QUOTE="squawk77, post: 206731, member: 14091"] Hi Nikonites I recently returned from a month long motorbike trip with my first SLR camera. I'm now sorting through the pics and toying with post-processing for the first time. I thought I'd post this one because it really needed to be adjusted and maybe I can learn some basics to help with the others. First, what settings would you adjust to shoot this landscape? The original colour was really washed out, could it be adjusted better? [ATTACH=CONFIG]55438._xfImport[/ATTACH] I wanted to play with the shutter speed and the water, but this was probably shot on auto. EXIF says Aperture Priority and Auto Exposure, so I'm not sure if I had the dial on A or Landscape or Auto.. I tried to shoot some water scenes later with less success. In this case it blended the water on its own. Does the polarized filter hurt a photo like this (cloudy sky and no sun reflections) I left it on the entire trip for protection.
