Photo tip #2

I don't think you need to spend alot of money on accessories for your camera, but one I would recommend is a polarizer filter. That is one filter that every photographer should have handy for landscapes and general outdoor photos. By reducing glare and unwanted reflections, polarized shots have richer, more saturated colors, especially in the sky.
Some digital cameras can't accommodate filters. One trick that I've used a couple times, if you have a quality pair of sunglasses just slip them over the lens. This works for the smaller point and shoot cameras.
The last Polarizer I bought cost $15 but that's been many years ago. Check with Durys in Nashville, ask for Robert and tell him I sent you-1-615-255-3456.

Photo tip #1

Have you noticed that sometimes your photos come out with a "cool blue" tone? The default white balance sitting for most cameras is auto, which is fine for most of your photo, but does come out on the cool side. When you're doing outdoor portraits and sunny landscapes, try changing your white balance from auto to cloudy. This is like putting a mild warming filter on your camera. It increases the red and yellow colors resulting in a richer and warmer tone.
