How should I have shot this picture so it isn't so washed out?
PICTURE HERE
http://www.intergate.com/~tobeornot2b/me/P7290011.JPG This picture was shot on my Olympus SP-350 using SHQ (Super High Quality) + an Automatic setting + Landscape Scene. The shot is just so washed out, I really feel I need some guidance on how to shoot it. I'd like to bring the shade of the background trees into focus, and (if you'll look closely) you'll see my orange power cord lying there -- I should be able to see that much more vividly. It's not sharp enough. In short . . . this shot is pretty bad lol. I'm not a photographer but I am darn proud I cut down this gigantic tree by myself and I'd like to have photos of it (I also want help with a PANORAMA shot from the inside of my house to get the full length of this beast . . . but that's another thread). Thanks for every piece of advice you can give me. I am clueless about what I'm doing here!
