fixing the blues

Hi All shot this with a magic filter like the image hate the blues. Any ideas

Thanks

I think the biggest problem is that you have the sun in top left, that is taking the blue away, try next time to look at where the sun is and keep it out of the frame, that will help the blues. I'm sure there will be more advice soon as well so keep looking.

thanks still getting used to the blue water /sun issues with digital just switched over from provia

Hi Joey,

The short answer is that the photo is grossly overexposed, so your blue and cyan "buckets" are completely full. When that happens, there isn't much you can do w/ the image. This doesn't have much to do w/ the magic filter - its a digital exposure problem.

When using the magic filter, you are cautioned to try to shoot with the sun behind you, not into the sun.
