Here's some of mine from today. I was on Cannock Chase trying to capture the autumn colours. The actual colours were stunning, but I don't seem to have captured them very well. The light was poor, I had to use ISO 400.
Tips please! Or, show me how to PP them:banghead:

Hey Hank,
Had a late night twiddle with the first shot, think I made a boo boo with the tree colour, a bit too green. Hope you don't mind.

Cheers

How about this?

Interesting interpretations. The extra green gives a bit of contrast, but the trees are Larches and were all yellow, as they are deciduous.
Davids managed to get a bit of colour into the sky, a definate improvement. I like the addition of the border with the matching inner stripe.

Thanks Hank.

Two things you need to do I believe.

1. Wait for the right light.

2. Use Fuji Velvia and, if appropriate, a polarizing filter.

Nice pics...Well composed but IMHO lack any focal point Mate. Love the colours. You've captured the scene well tho!
