Here is a second one I took of the same storm. I don't know how to post more than one picture at a time, sorry.

it's too bad that the trees in the foreground are so dark. the sky is quite stricking.
if you have access to Photoshop, it is an easy fix. as for posting more than one shot in a single thread, don't post too many in a row. i'd say three max. and to post multiple shots, after you hit send and your shot and description have been posted, just hit the reply button on your post and post the next shot, just like you did the first. and voi la! scot |

I see you are new to the forum. Don't be discouraged. There is room for improvement. Crawford has pointed out the problems with this shot. The exposure is not right and that has affect the quality of the photo. But this is not to say that this photo has not photographic quality. As Crowford has pointed out you certainly have an artistic eye. Capitalise on this. Again. Welcome. Regards. Jaki.

Thank you for your help. I really want to learn.
Now, this picture was taken just a little after dusk. What do I need to do to avoid the foreground being so dark? I did not do anything except use the point and shoot mode. Barb |

Yea i agree with everyone here foreground is to dark
try metering to the foreground or the darker portions of the photo you are trying to compose. in this situation try metering where the darkened trees are. therefore the cam wills et appropriate exposure to correctly expose the trees. You have to be careful though correcltly exposing thge trees can blow out the backing skys. I think your model of cam has exposur lock and this will be a perfect time to use it. Just lock the exposure after metering(half pressing shutter)the darker(not darkest)part of the image now recompose ur image and half press again to set focus point and snap just did levels and shadow enhancement to try get more exposure to fron trees sorry i did this on my laptop so my lcd aint very accurate and calibrated well and i hate using this stupid touch pad ken |

Barb,
The others have pointed out some of the technical stuff. I just want to second the opinion that you have a nice eye for subject matter. Also, the composition of this photo is good. Again, that shows you have good instincts. The folks here will help you with the technical stuff. They know their stuff and you will learn a lot. Keep shooting and posting. |
