The early ones do look overexposed though nice compositions. Having said that I hope you keep em coming. Sitting here in Oregon it is indeed a pleasure to see even snapshots. I only comment because you did.

What a wonderful place that estuary is, rich habitat!

Thanks again.

In light of my earlier comment, you might benifit from a filter of some sort. I am not a photographer, others on this site know way more than I do. I also know that filters can protect the lense from accidental damage. Way cheaper to replace a filter than a lense.

Toneart, I think what you are seeing as a pastel cast is really a lack of contrast in the first few pics as well as a bit of digital noise like one might experience by fooling the camera into thinking you are shooting with a higher "film" speed. The lack of contrast could be from overexposure, a large amount of moisture in the air or the camera settings. My guess is overex as the later ones dont display this.

I agree it is a rather interesting effect.


Yes, I noticed that the later pictures didn't have that "pastel" effect. It sure would be nice to be able to get that effect at will. It probably could be repeated under the same conditions and settings.

I have a filter for my Nikon but this is a point and shoot.
It is interesting because it has many different settings...one is for snow(the icon is a snowman) and I use that for the shots with lotsa sand. It also has a beach umbrella icon for water shots that makes the water bluer. I am still playing with this camera and I dont remember what I had it on for those first bird shots. I very seldom use the no-brain setting.

I wonder if that setting mimics the results of placing a polaroid or UV filter on the lens. Unlikely, but it would be great.

I popped the polarized lenses out of an old pair of Ray Bans and hold one over the lens of a small camera. A poor man's polarizing filter but, it gives good results.

It\'s easier to get forgiveness then permission.
