I had a similar issue a few years ago. It ended up due to the UV filter I had on. If you're using a cheap-o filter, might aswell don't use one, it gives the image a unwanted washed out look. The other thing could be the ISO setting used. Hope that helps!feedmycamerahttp://feedmycamera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-14943545890134119352011-08-11T12:14:44.845+10:002011-08-11T12:14:44.845+10:00Beautiful food and looks like it was a wonderfully...Beautiful food and looks like it was a wonderfully relaxing day.

I love that shot of the sugar cube!<br /><br />I had a look at your EXIF data on the photo of the box of Macarons, and noticed you were shooting on quite a high ISO setting - 1100? Your shutter speed was very quick at 1/160 - this indicates that the room was quite bright, so I think you could have brought the ISO down a bit. <br /><br />Ideally you should aim to set your ISO as low as possible - maybe 200-400 in bright sunlight. When the ISO setting is high, it can mess with your colours and make them look a bit flat and grey (not to mention high ISOs add noise!)<br /><br />As a guide - you should be able to shoot a photo handheld at a shutter speed of 1/60 and still avoid camera shake. Slower if you can prop your arm against the table or something sturdy.<br /><br />But honestly you are doing so well! I just compare these photos to the pics you were taking with your canon, and there is such a huge difference!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-7653778312507341712011-08-01T14:01:35.865+10:002011-08-01T14:01:35.865+10:00That dessert & the macarons look divine :DThat dessert & the macarons look divine :Dshaun@everybodylovesramenhttp://everybodylovesramen.orgnoreply@blogger.com
