[PhilDellPhoto]

Hi,
My name is Phil, I'm new to the forum. I poured over the internet trying to find out the answer to a question I've had that keeps popping up in my photography. Browns. Good, rich, natural browns. Post production (I use both PS and LR fairly proficiently) seems to muddy them down, or make them less interesting. I've failed to see a good replication of deep browns in my colors, not consistently anyway.

I personally believe brown is a strange hue and for digital purposes it seems too close to black and dark gray. But maybe I'm just crazy. Does anyone else have this problem, or does anyone have a solution via lighting, etc? Please don't answer with auto adjust or color correction, I know several ways of adjusting the WB both in camera and in post. My goal is to both replicate and amplify the richness of deep brown tones.

I shoot with a Canon XSI with a canon 1.4 and a tamron 2.8 zoom.

Thanks!
