I was in NY with my family this past weekend and took lots of pictures. However not too happy with since I don't think I had my settings quite right for the sunny day. For this picture I was wondering how I could have lightened my husband and son up more. While I have the clarity of the background they are dark. I had the ISO at 100.

There are a few things that might help bring a little more light to their faces. (1) Use a "fill flash." Raise the flash on your SX40 and press the flash control button next to it (on the left side) until the screen says "on" rather than "auto." You can also control the amount of flash (making it brighter or darker) that will go off from the menu. (2) The "i"contrast setting in the camera will lighten dark areas in an image, if it is not already turned on in the menu of the camera. (3) Studio photographers may even have a large piece of reflective material (you can buy collapsable reflectors) that will shine some reflected sunlight on their subject. Even a piece of plain white poster board can make a difference sometimes - although you'd hardly want to drag that around with you when visiting in the city. For further information on using the fill flash, check out the camera's user manual that came on the disk - or you can find it at the manufacturer's website as well. One more thing you can look into, if you're interested - you may not yet be a "photo-hacker" but perhaps you've heard the term "photo-shopping." It doesn't mean buying photos, usually, but using a software program to help modify the image so it brings out the best. Most of those "photoshop" type programs can help bring out the shadows. The brand-name photoshop has a setting specifically meant to do that. I'm some of the other programs will do it, too. Some are even free, online.
