I know that this is all operator error but it is becoming irritating to the point that the joy of taking pictures is not what it once was. I use a Canon 5Dii with a few different lenses in my bag, changing lenses doesn't seem to help. I try to utilize the M mode most of the time, and usually shot RAW. My pictures always come out what I would call flat. I have a friend that uses a Nikon camera, always uses the full automatic mode with a popup flash. Her pictures always POP with great contrast, good exposures, and terrific colors. From time to time I will switch to full auto but still my pictures do not POP like hers. I tend to spend more time doing post processing then I do out taking pictures.....The Joy is becoming more of a chore! Makes me wonder.....is there that much difference between camera brands.....or that much difference in photographers and those that utilize the M mode -vs- those that shoot fully automatic....Thanks for listening! I think the winter blahs have set in!
