See my <A HREF="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/2008/07/14/tel-dan-suspected-arson/" REL="nofollow">Tel Dan photo</A>. Do you think playing with the white balance might have helped my water? In general, my waterfall photos always look washed out. Suggestions for bright sun adjustments? (I've had this problem photographing white flowers, too). If anyone could comment on my blog on my Tel Dan photo, I would greatly appreciate it!Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-70280818229664653452008-07-15T17:02:00.000+03:002008-07-15T17:02:00.000+03:00I really love the blue in that second shot of the ...I really love the blue in that second shot of the palm tree!

I find overly technical jargon hard to follow as well, so I was trying hard to keep things simple.<BR/><BR/>Robert, I understood the original assignment as "leave all the settings INCLUDING the white balance the same" so that's what I originally tried. The only change was the angle of the sun. Didn't give me very much in terms of variety though, like I said, we get some pretty serious sun here. Whatever it was, doing it the way I did was what finally helped me to (start to) understand what it was all about. Thank you as always for being so encouraging. It's a real boost to my amateur's heart.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-20978704204712008592008-07-15T15:34:00.000+03:002008-07-15T15:34:00.000+03:00You done good here!

Keeping the same settings throughout the day AND changing the white balance will not give you an honest and accurate understanding of white balance. And that's what I understand the lesson to be. During the day the light changes and the shutter/aperture settings would be different. If you were to change the white balance but not properly expose the subject, you would think a particular white balance setting is better or worse than it really is. Am I making sense or just babbling? Anyhow, I like how you put the collage together. And your final two images and thoughts on them are great. I love that last one. Good stuff, Robin. :)Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074502919190699746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-35858305657661006182008-07-15T15:18:00.000+03:002008-07-15T15:18:00.000+03:00I like your "lessons" in easy to understand langua...I like your "lessons" in easy to understand language!<BR/><BR/>I'm really getting addicted to mosaic photos ...
