Mavica Digital Camera Tips:
Cleaning up the colours

TIP #4: Watch your light source

Photo #1: Sun behind my back
Here I used my body to shade the flowers for an overall evening of the colours.

Photo #2: Intermediate light
Same flowers from a different direction. This time the light was a little more direct, but still diffused from passing pedestrians. The close up shot removed unnecessary surrounding scenery and light.

Photo #3: Direct light
In this case the sun was shining directly on the flowers greatly enhancing the contrast and range of colours. Also, standing back a little brought in more of the surrounding ambient light not directly related to the flowers.
