I love visiting wooded sites, but find taking pictures immensely difficult due to the light and shade and getting foliage, branches, etc into focus. When I get home and view the pictures on a laptop screen I usually find lots of out-of-focus shots.
I only have a compact camera with a zoom and no tripod, so apart from "buy a proper SLR" and "get a tripod", can anyone offer any tips for taking better pictures in these locations? I'd be quite happy to mess about with settings, as far as I can given the camera's limitations, but I don't really know what I'm doing. So that basically means ISO, exposure, shutter speed.
All advice gratefully received.
