How in the heck?
Hello all!
My friend and I both love photography so we took eachother's family pictures yesterday. Her pictures all look much colorful to me and our faces more smooth and white. Below is a link to one of the pics. She did a little with curves on Photoshop, but I saw this pic on her camera and it was just so much more colorful and beauitful than mine. Can you help me find out why? Is it her camera settings? She has a Canon 40D and I have a Sony A300. We used the same type of lens, 50mm 1.8. Any ideas how I can get my pictures to look like this? 12 DB on Flickr - Photo Sharing! |

Not sure, looks like a little more pp in photoshop. Almost looks like she used layers.

Need to see your shots.
You have a beautiful family. To really help, we would need to compare your photos with her's. Do you have any of the ones you took with your camera to show us.

I wouldn't worry about it. I looked at the other images in your set and you got some very nice shots!! Some shadows in a few that a flash would have help with, but very nice

Honestly doesn't look like she did much if any post processing, maybe some brightness/contrast leveling if anything. For the most part it seems to be a camera setting.
Looking through the EXIF info (under "more properties" on the image page) on both of your pages it looks like the main difference was what mode you were in. She was mainly shooting on manual with some decent lighting settings and an ISO of 100 where you were mainly shooting with aperture priority and an ISO of 400. Basically she had better manual control and a faster "film speed". Your settings forced your camera to try to compensate for the large aperture (lens opening) by having a fast shutter speed so it didn't get too much light in. It didn't look like the bracketing was different but maybe some center-weighted or spot bracketing would have helped your shots for the people to be a bit brighter rather than the camera trying to keep the entire image from being too bright. To learn more about such things see the blog info about the Exposure Triangle or look into the book Understanding Exposure.
