very nice VT; your shots always seems to pop off the page.
is this the result of camera settings or perhaps in post? i am trying to get mine a little better and hope to post a few soon as the weather warms.
Thanks.
First the subject has to be eye-popping...
you seem to find plenty of subject down south, even in the middle of january.
Then, kind of both - other than the normally advised -5 NR and -5 Sharp - I use Vivid color scene - since I know I am shooting flowers etc. Panasonics seem to do Vivid well (eg: much better than FujiFilm's "vivid"/Velvia.)
those settings help. the scene controls are interesting but i mostly use PP; i am still learning the controls on the FZ70. it is starting to come down to: what is this button for, ;-)
had a problem last sunday with over exposure, out of frustration i tried the trash button, .... it doubles as the 'Q menu', well there it was, plus a few stops preset of over exposure in aperture priority. it seemed like the camera was broken as the photos had all of their highlights blown out.......maybe i am starting to figure out these little bridge cameras are better than i thought.
and, it's mostly post - nothing fancy in either process or editor - use brightness and contrast in concert, then increase contrast until it looks over-done - back that off until it looks more natural - scientifically it's: can vary from day to day or my mood...
i use photoshop elements, but more for subtle color correction. there is probably better photo software and i may just look for some.
