Tips for winter pictures?

[.Mark]

Folks,
I notice when taking pictures recently that with the sun so low in the sky and the light levels being what they are the pictures tend to look a bit washed out, watered down even.
Now is that a good winter 'effect' or are there tricks to avoiding this? I agree that in some cases it is desirable but not always.

Thanks Ron. Perhaps I should have pointed out that I am a complete and utter novice so will need explanations in words of one syllable or less

Are you talking about fettling the manual settings of the camera (Fuji FinePix S304z BTW)?

If you can post the pic I might have more accurate ideas for you!

Ah, well. I don't actually have any just yet, I'm preparing myself!
I did take some but they were junk so I deleted them, however I have just spent a couple of hours knocking up a website with some stuff on www.final-design.com there are only a couple of galleries up there but over the next day or so I'm hoping to get some other stuff there too.
All observations welcome, the site layout is poor but I haven't got any better ideas as yet!
