| 1295711 | 2012-08-20 10:24:00 | any chance you can post up one of the images? | Metla (12) | ||
| 1295712 | 2012-08-20 10:44:00 | A polarising filter is definitely an appropriate solution for a DSLR. As mentioned by BBCmicro, you simply rotate the filter until the image suits your taste, and the results are truly excellent. The problem with water sky and mountains is that there are too many reflected light sources. I used them extensively on my SLR film camera and never had a bad outcome, in fact I only ever removed them for low-light work. They also work well for monochome photography, enhancing contrast by blocking out indirect light falling on the lense. I suggest that you go to a 'proper' camera shop and try one out. I'll bet you won't leave the shop without it. :D Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1295713 | 2012-08-20 10:51:00 | I keep a UV filter on mine all the time. I also have a Polariser and a Fluorescent Filter but cant remember the last time I used them. Cant remember the last time I took a photo on my DSLR come to think of it. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1295714 | 2012-08-20 11:23:00 | What did the picture look like on the LCD screen before you took it. If it looked ok but came out all over exposed could indicate a problem with the camera. :) |

| 1295716 | 2012-08-20 20:21:00 | Yes, Iantech has the answer. UV and Circular polariser. (Circular because your cam has auttofocus). Then, decide whether you want to take photos or snapshots when you are on holiday. It doesn't take a lot of time to think about the subject before pressing the shutter. That is basically the difference. Don't apologise for using auto settings. The cameras of today are smarter than we are....most of the time. The art is in knowing when to over ride you camera. Ken |

If it looked ok but came out all over exposed could indicate a problem with the camera. :) I don't use the LCD screen, I use the viewfinder. I think the different levels of light and reflections are probably the answer, especially with all the snow on the mountains also. |
