why a new thread...cause most people won't bother to check an old thread for new stuff....
Pictures speak louder then words....so let's just get into it.
This is one of the hills on White Mountain...it's steep, off-cambered and full of loose stuff.

Looks like fun.
Pictures usually make the terrain look easier, but theat first hill looks scary!

Steve,
Sounds like you need some one that knows a bit about photography, digital cameras and photoshop, I wonder if there is any body that fits that bill.

Steve, I wish I could explain it better, but the best tip I can give you, is that if you can shoot in Shutter Priority mode, DO THAT!
I take a lot of Underwater pictures, and that is an extreme example of what you are expierencing above ground.
It's possible to get a complete black under exposed foreground with a white over exposed water.
The other thing you should try is changing the ISO on your camera to "faster" speed. Try and find a balance between exposure and grain.
You have a really nice camera, one of the bad things about having such a really nice camera is that they only take really nice pictures if you are a pro. :P
If you ask this same question on www.digitaldiver.net You'll probably get a much better answer. I don't know a whole hell of lot about cameras, but I do know that when I have the same problem you are having it's because of not enough subject light, too much ambient light, and the only way I know to correct that is with a Flash and a faster shutter speed.
Good luck.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Steve R:
I am EXTREMELY disappointed with my pics. I'm using a Canon S50 digital 5 mega-pixel camera and have had good results in the past. I fully understand the principles surrounding photography....but there must be some setting or problem with this camera: the contrast is just screwy!!! Look at how so many of the shots have the proper aperature for the subject, yet the background is totally over-exposed/too bright?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I can't remember exactly what causes this, but I've seen it many times before.
I'm guessing you had the camera in either Apature Priority mode or Manual mode.
When the subject area is dark and shaded with trees, but the back ground sky is still bright and sunny, you have to use a fast shutter and an extremely wide apeture. This way the subject gets properly exposed, because it's closer to the lens, but the shudder closes fast enough to prevent the background from over exposing.
It gets increasingly more difficult the farther you are away from the subject. I normally just force my flash on to fill in the shade and that works well, but you need to be close to the subject again for that to work.
Best solution would be to get a wide angle lens. That way you can stay close, use your flash.
With that said, I think the pictures pretty much kick ass. I really didn't even notice that the sky was washed until I read your last post and went back through them again.

Perspec, is right...... the only problem with gradient filters is your photo all ways looks like it was shot through a gradient filter.
In some cases I would use fill flash. Fill flash is something that I all ways having to remind my daughter when she's shooting.
in the days of film a good photographer would know how many stops his ffilm could cary. Some color neg. films can cary 5 stops. color transparency film (slides) could only handle about a stop and a 1/2 . Digital is more like shooting with transparency film.
