After the ass-whupping my ego got by looking at all your photos in the book, I return humbled and seeking advice.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157614471200162/ The sun was out yesterday and I spent a few minutes shooting the cliff behind the office. When I processed them on my iMac, the colors looked unnaturally saturated. On my linux box, they don't pop in quite the same way, but they still look odd. Likewise, the shot doesn't seem to be quite as razor sharp as I'd like. I didn't use a tripod, but I did bench rest it, and shot at reasonably high shutter speeds. K100Dsuper, with the A* 200/2.8 that I've been borrowing from John and haven't had a chance to use in the past week. About the only processing done on these photos is dialing in the exposure with just a tiny bit of fill so the cliff shadows aren't pitch black. They are processed in lightroom and it doesn't show the green, or any, channel anywhere close to blown out. I've always had trouble shooting scenes with a lot of green in them, especially grass. Apart from trying again with a tripod, and maybe trying to set exposure and WB off a grey card, do people have any recommedations? -- Photographs are like sentences, the best ones have both subjects and verbs.
