settings for the outdoors when sun is facing the camera #14

Hello! Sorry in advance for misusing the issue function in advance, but I was hoping you could help me with a camera problem I've been having with the raspberry pi when taking images outside.

In the images I've processed the camera was facing towards the sun, using 100 sat, and the sun was starting to drop. This resulted in some very reflective grass that interfered with the opencv program I have written. I'm unfortunately still waiting on my first raspberry pi to arrive unfortunately, so I'm using images given to me by other people I am working with. I am asking for advice in the hopes of getting a head start once I do have it.

Here is an album showing the program performing well using default settings.

However, we found that these settings made detecting dark colored objects very difficult. Here is what happened when we changed it to 100 saturation to compensate.

Finding colored objects became much easier. http://imgur.com/a/i3rWE

However, finding white objects become much harder :/ http://imgur.com/a/F98eU

Hope to hear from you soon!
