Many cameras boost saturation a little because consumers like it (you can turn off artificial enhancement settings in camera menu).<BR/><BR/>On overcast days, software built in to cameras often gets confused and can especially "overcook" the saturation resulting in SCARY photos like this. I say scary because for many people, the brain rejects natural settings when they are obviously unnatural. Annoys the mind when something is obviously false.<BR/><BR/>The key is to dial DOWN the saturation in your photo editor (Photoshop or anything with saturation adjustment) when your camera freaks out in this manner. Natural bright color is much more engaging and appealing.<BR/><BR/>What is odd (or even suspicious) about these photos are the blue sky images. When the overall light is bright like on a blue sky day and you are not shooting in shade, then the in-camera software usually doesn't get this freaked out with its over saturation.<BR/><BR/>If your camera is screwing up this dramatically on bright blue sky days, you need to try shooting with color enhancement features turned off, or... buy a new camera.<BR/><BR/>Don't mean to sound like an obnoxious know-it-all with this comment, but these photos would look so much better if they were natural and not artificially over saturated. It pains me to look at these images, knowing how beautiful they could have been if not ruined with unnatural saturation.Dan Savagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01868261769634588448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-91134923639288572222008-11-20T15:45:00.000-08:002008-11-20T15:45:00.000-08:00OMG it's like an orgasm for my eyes!

People routinely do that with a lot of photographs (many Canons do it automatically in the camera, I understand) and it spoils the photos for me thinking "surely it can't REALLY look like THAT..."Iainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09659479386842806455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-51526951611413549512006-12-13T06:13:00.000-08:002006-12-13T06:13:00.000-08:00Autumn colours in Japan really are amazing. We've been lucky enough to have a longer than usual autumn in Japan this year, so that even if we went rather late (end of november) there still was plenty of colour to enjoy2 Come Lorowww.2comeloro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-56478697972664450612006-11-21T20:12:00.000-08:002006-11-21T20:12:00.000-08:00these are absolutely stunning.dfiskeyhttp://clipmarks.com/clipper/dfiskey/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-22214740814978737582006-11-21T08:08:00.000-08:002006-11-21T08:08:00.000-08:00Hi<br />The photos r breath takingly beautiful: I had immediately saved them up in my desktop theme folder.<br />Thanksmugofcoffeehttp://clipmarks.com/clipper/mugofcoffee/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-7883293600006591222006-11-21T08:05:00.000-08:002006-11-21T08:05:00.000-08:00not photoshopped at all.
