Very nice pan Steve. I was a little right of center in your photo looking out at the quiet lake and sky. Very nice day on the lake.

Steve - appreciate viewing your great shots! Are those colors natural or do you use some type of filter? I'm very much an rookie at photography and curious.

The colors are pretty much what you see. I didn't use any "on lens" filter on this one, but I do occasionally use a few different types of filters.

I process my digital images with Photoshop Elements, in that software you can, (and I did), adjust things like brightness and "hue" to accent the colors. I also have a set of other software from a company called Topaz. These programs are used to modify very specfic parts of the picture such as adding a little "pop" to the clouds to make them stand out.

When I was just starting to learn, I was lucky to have a very good instructor at a "adult" education class that first taught me about the "basics' of digital photography. I would advise anyone just starting to really learn the basics of framing, composition, use of light, etc.

Couple of usful online sites will also help, I suggest:

http://digital-photography-school.co...mposition-tips

http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/20...why-they-work/

If you learn some of the stuff on those two sites you will be well on your way to a very fun addiction. I would also suggest you look around for some classes. The ones I took were at Laconia High School as part of their adult education program. 8 classes over 8 weeks for a total cost of $55!

Good luck, be careful.. it's addictive!
