After a day full of frustrations and discouragement with my new camera (silly me, thinking that I would turn it on and it would just produce better photos than I am used to with no work... or manual-reading. ugh.), I finally got a few gems. This photo has given me back a little patience and hope. I see the light! I know th
is camera is raved about by many and has the potential to capture beautiful photos. For whatever reason, most of my photos are turning out rather flat and cool. I'm boggled by this, seeing that the reviews explain an oversaturated and warm photo by default... hmmm. The auto white balance doesn't seem nearly as warm as my D40 AWB.
Any tips?
I did a comparison shoot with a stationary subject. The 1st shot is with my D300 (ISO 800, AWB). The 2nd shot is with my D40 (ISO 800, AWB, same light). See the difference in brightness and saturation?
Now that I'm looking at them side by side, maybe the color is more accurate in the 1st shot.. I'm just used to that color pop. What do you think?? CC is appreciated!
