I finally got fed up with the lack of quality, so I'm learning how to use the advanced features on my Sony Handycam DCR-SX40, so you should see my photos increase in quality over time. I did discover the Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software and now I can do an Autocorrect that makes a difference.
For instance, here's a photo before and after Autocorrect.
It really brings out the depth of colors while staying true, and sharpens it up quite a bit. I would rather be able to do this on the camera itself when the photo is first shot rather than doctoring them up afterwards, which feels wrong somehow. I'm just hoping there's something I can learn to get the colors, focus and sharpness a lot better from the get go because the dark faded colors and fuzziness in my photos are really bugging the heck out of me.
Really pretty pictures Victoria! I think we are going to have a colorful fall here too. It rained just when we needed it. I should read the book that came with my Canon SR10, it has all kinds of settings yet I just use auto. Old dog, new tricks thing!!
ReplyDeleteWe were in Branson again over the weekend. The hills are beginning to get pretty colorful. Very pretty photos you've taken. Hope you get a lot more to show us as the color there progresses!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of your beautiful scenery! That's one thing that Dallas does not have much of. Thanks for sharing.
