I haven't mastered the features of the D7000 and one of my biggest frustrations is getting the correct picture control and auto white balance settings which would mimic the settings of my D700. Initially I did not like the yellowish or warmer AWB using Auto1. Recently I discovered that if you set it to + 2 or + 3 will give you a richer darker green tones on leaves. I should have used a more vivid picture contol to make the colours pop a bit. I use Nikon NX2 to process my NEF files. Here are some sample pictures that I would like to share with the group. These were previously taken using the default standard picture control and auto white balance using the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII during my walk around late in the afternoon. Sorry I don't have any models to shoot at but It's a fun combo to use if I may add. I would like to hear about how you set your WB when taking pictures on various situations. I am hesitant to try other WB since I tend to forget to change my settings if I go from outdoor to indoor. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
