Further to Sal’s point regarding post processing, someone put me on to a free program called “FastStone”, which allows you to do minor quick edits such as decreasing and increasing highlights, shadows etc. It’s also free. Otherwise, I do know a way of “acquiring” Lightroom if you’re interested, but perhaps that’s more useful if you’re shooting RAW, I’m just guessing here. It’s also ■■■■■■ slow if you’re not using a computer with decent ram, I even stopped editing photos til I bought another laptop. Anyway, I’m just a bit of a hobbyist, but I hope this helps.

Where was the first pic taken?
Yan Yean, north of Melbourne.
Cheeky little villains refused to stay still and kept playing hide and seek inside the branches. Eventually I managed a couple of reasonably infocus shots.

To further this (although late in the conversation), I think the majority of photo apps/programs now will enable you to boost shadows and pull down highlights, I usually do it quite effectively with the standard Photos on my Mac, or Camera+ for phone snaps. Just a bit of fiddling (also with exposure and brightness) till you find what works to the brink of still looking natural.
Leaving Thursday for a few days in the bush. Love it.

If you get your timing and angles right, it makes a big difference to the light. With a phone about 6 months ago.

Loving that first one!
You might think this photo is dull.
However, it is a reminder of one of the best days of my life.
1985 Grand Final ticket stub.

There’s a major problem associated with that pic.
A finished building ain’t meant to have a giant puddle in the middle of the floor!
Fortunately, it’s not my problem…
