[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 58433, member: 9503"] Some of my recent vacation pics came out just right (to my untrained eye) in terms of contrast, colour etc, while other seemed a bit washed out ( like the one below)... but they came to life if I cheated with a little software tweak ( eg auto contrast in Picassa). Why is that happening (ie some shots need no constrast adjustment, others do , even for similar scenes). How does one correct for it when taking the shot? I suspect one way is selective use of filters. I currently have only a basic filter on the the lense ( Nikon 72 mm NC), but is one really expected to changes filters that often when dozens of vacation pics?? Or is the issue not related to filters at all? Original shot: [ATTACH=CONFIG]11565._xfImport[/ATTACH] Tweaked with additional s/w contrast: [ATTACH=CONFIG]11566._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
