The Little House in Vancouver

Hello!

This is my first post here. I'm really just a beginner with DSLR, and this is a shot from long before i even got mine - taken this summer on vacation with my old Canon Powershot A2000 is. But I was bored the other night and decided to try some post-processing on it. I think it came out okay for a picture that was quite average at the start.

Anyway, I have some problems with it, and I'd like some pointers!

Boy, those are tough lighting conditions. It looks like you took the shot in the middle of the day, when the light is the harshest. There was too much dynamic range for your camera sensor to handle, so some bright areas are blown out and some dark areas have no detail. I don't think there is much you can do about that now. If you take another shot like this in the future, I would wait until the light is softer, like shoot during the late afternoon/early morning or on an overcast day. A circular polarizer will help to reduce glare and might give you more vivid colors, depending on your angle relative to the sun. I would also try to time it so you don't have those shadows on the front of the house, if possible.
