Photo Tip of the Week


Warm Up Those Tones !
Have you ever noticed that your shots sometimes have a cool, clammy feel to them? If so, you're not alone. The default white balance setting for digital cameras is "auto", which is fine for most snapshots, but it tends to be a bit on the "cool" side. So, when shooting outdoor portraits and sunny landscapes, try changing your white balance setting from auto to "cloudy". That's right, cloudy. Why? This adjustment is like putting a mild warming filter on your camera. It increases the reds and yellows resulting in richer, warmer pictures. I leave my cameras on cloudy 99% of the time....Try it and as always Happy Shooting !
