| I am very new to photography, and of course digital photography, and I was wondering what makes a photo "washed out" as some people would put it? I ask only because I received a comment about a photo of mine that looked to that person as washed out. What does this mean and what can I do to correct or prevent this from occuring? thanks |

It typically means the picture is over exposed, or you've used the flash too close to the subject. You'd see this in bright areas having just a white appearance, rather than any fine details being visible.
I'd check your camera manual to see what it says about exposure controls or exposure compensation as a starting point. |

I thought it reffered to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant :)
Yes, Gordon hit it right on the nail there. Washed out photos usually lack definition in mid range tones, portraits of people with completely white faces is a good definition of the term.

BTW Gordon your Treble Clef shot ruled, it was my fav of the bunch. |
