I adjust mine when I bring them up on the computer, using a free program for picture handling from Google, called Picasa. <br /><br />When I was using the little camera, and shot in Auto-mode, they often turned out too turqoise in the snow. <br /><br />http://picasa.google.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420673425798745616.post-16335154558846761582011-01-28T21:50:55.711-05:002011-01-28T21:50:55.711-05:00I can hear the soft quiet of a snowstorm by lookin...I can hear the soft quiet of a snowstorm by looking at your photos. I'm glad that you were able to get out.<br /><br />I love your photos... with the dark outlines in the white world.<br /><br />You left a comment about horse access. That's one thing that doesn't seem to suffer out here in the west. It seems to be sacred, so no worries for our horseback riders. But dogs are a whole different story...<br /><br />I hope that your back keeps healing.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420673425798745616.post-2665258429723195522011-01-28T21:44:54.954-05:002011-01-28T21:44:54.954-05:00Lovely.... but I am SOOOO glad the snow missed us ...Lovely.... but I am SOOOO glad the snow missed us this time!Judy's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240066353842966887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420673425798745616.post-26885894745836999192011-01-28T20:05:03.412-05:002011-01-28T20:05:03.412-05:00I also agree that your photos are great.

I like what you did to them. The same can happen to me in the snow. Can you control your flash? If you can, it may help if you shut it off. Does it automatically go off? If you can control the shutter speed it may help too.....set it at a faster speed because of the bright snow light.<br />Either way, I like your shots .....you have an excellent eye. I too love trees and those were fabulous specimens.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420673425798745616.post-30264459584794023302011-01-28T14:40:16.195-05:002011-01-28T14:40:16.195-05:00Yes the larch is a lovely tree with tiny needles t...Yes the larch is a lovely tree with tiny needles that are such a beautiful shade of currylime green. I have 3 or 4 varieties growing on my property from native to unusual shapes. They are on of my favourites. In the fall they turn a lovely shade of yellow feathery like. You`ll have to go back in the spring, summer and fall to see the growth habit. Your winter photos are tops and the blueness could be the kind of light that was being allowed to get through.fromsophiesviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532257840856313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420673425798745616.post-31453250322369067592011-01-28T13:18:09.009-05:002011-01-28T13:18:09.009-05:00Don't you just love taking pictures in the win...Don't you just love taking pictures in the winter, even on a not so bright day the colours are so crisp and nice, I love your pictures.

It's our only conifer that drops its needles in the fall. Nothing wrong with it, that's just what it does. It will grow new ones in the spring, out of those little pegs that polka-dot the branches. The tree is also called a Tamarack.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420673425798745616.post-11775893691470058852011-01-27T18:35:46.654-05:002011-01-27T18:35:46.654-05:00Beautiful snowy pictures!
