Re: Colours never bright enough in woodland shots

There are lots of dark bits in the woods and your camera is overexposing to make them lighter. Try to avoid the contrasty areas (take some pics with no sky - even patchy areas of sky in the tree canopy can mess up your exposure) .
Worth trying a polariser and a tripod.
Compact cameras may not have ability to take filters but you can use your sunglasses as a polariser , can be worth experimenting .
