Hi guys, maybe this is just a rant, or maybe you can help pinpoint some areas of improvement...
I took myself off and spent the afternoon in a lovely location and, whilst the light wasn't THAT great, thought I could take some decent shots with my 50mm prime.
I set my iso to 100, on Av and used different apertures between 4 and 8. I set my exposure to around 2 stops down.
When I got back I found that most of my shots were all washed out, lacking colour richness, looking a little misty (there was no most around). I can mess with some of that in Lightroom anyway but I'm frustrated that the photos didn't seem to have any really depth or contrast to them.
Is it just a case of practice, practice, practice or do these results ring any alarms bells with you?
Cheers guys!
