[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 283913, member: 13090"] Hey Tim, hope that helps... The shots you're getting with the equipment you have are entirely adequate for what you want; I think you just need a little experience working with LR to get the final output to look exactly like you want it.

You might also want to try adding a little Saturation and/or Vibrance to see how you like that, but go easy on those sliders. The same goes for Sharpening. Too much anything in Post Processing will give your shots an "over cooked" appearance and that's no good. Post Processing often times is about knowing when to STOP. For example... This is the same shot of yours I used in my previous post, but this time I've deliberately gone just a little overboard with the processing; not totally nutty-crazy mind you, but this is definitely on the ragged edge of acceptable in my estimation: [ATTACH=CONFIG]79896._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
