Photo A Day Challenge - Day 1 (Page 3): If you are talking about mine then yes you do. It looks much better than the original. Arizona has a lack of any color except brown these days.

Levels is the first place I look ... The histogram tells the story as far as the white balance goes in my opinion.
What you want is the black part of the histogram to go from the black side edge to the white side edge with the hump (for lack of a better word this early in the morning) to be in the middle.
If you find there is nothing in the black or white there are little arrows at the bottom of the histogram which you slide over either slide the black arrow to the right or the white arrow to the left until they meet the rest.
The center arrow is for the midtones .... most of the time you won't need to adjust this part.

Gorgeous! We're still waiting for snow here in Buffalo. I don't know why it's taking so long. I'm looking forward to getting some good snow pictures :-P

I did this a couple of years ago for the Flickr 365 - boy was it a challenge but it was well worth it. The best thing I learned was photographing mundane things that most people don't even notice!

Not sure how long this will last but I decided to challenge myself and make at least one photo everyday this year of something I normally wouldn't shoot.
So here is my first entry ....
I was out hiking in the mountains today and this tree just spoke to me. Not sure why LOL.

Feel free to post yours if you are up to the challenge.

I can see why it spoke to you. Very nice shot!! :thumbup:
I've contemplated doing a picture a day, but I just got a new camera for Christmas and I'm still trying to learn my way around it.
