Please Help.. Teen Modeling pictures not looking GREAT!!!.

[richardyoung]

I have looked at so many other peoples work. I love the colors.. and the look of much of it.. it is so bright and color full.

I have tryed to download linershapen and run that on linear tiff.. and it helps.. but I still don't get what I want. I have tryed to run just the aftershave on a jpg.. and I can not get the color I want..

please look at

most of it was shoot with a d60.
things like biking in the park, red rock, the bedroom.. and stuff like that was all shot with the d60..

(face shots, school girl shot with a2e)

I am using an eos 35 - 80 len.. and 75 to 300 len.. they are both canon and usm.. so I don't think that the len is the problem

If you're using Photo Shop 7 like I am, try this:

Image > Adjustments > Auto Color
Image > Adjustments > Levels
drag the grey middle slider to adjust brightness
Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation

These steps work wonders for most of my photographs, so give it a shot. Best of luck!

level with auto white & black
auto neu.

appx 60%

Keep shooting!
