I need to learn a bit more about some of the special settings on my camera ... and to re-train myself to think "settings" as I take pictures; at present, I just snap away with either the regular setup, or "available light" which gives me nighttime pictures that would have been regarded as miracles just a few years ago - in the days when we used a crude system of silver based chemical to record our images. Pictures such as the one I took at Melksham Station for yesterday's article ([here]) would have been impossible - the moving people being just blurs, and the picture of the presents hanging in the tree would have required a tripod which (as I took the picture from the road) would have been risking life, limb, and the rage of drivers.
But although there are some marvelous things I've done with the camera, at present (my own lack of knowledge?) I struggle with contrasty situations like Gypsy in the snow. I *have* tried changing contrast levels with Gimp - but they reveal that the black truly is black - there's nothing there. (See also my "Testing on Animals" post).
