Bring up the blacks in the second image because they're def under exposed. Don't know if you're shooting to RAW but I do most of my color tweaking in photoshop RAW.
+1 on working in RAW for colours - if you go JPEG initially you've already lost a lot of colour information
I use lightroom which has great features and works well inside pchop
Maybe you could try shooting B&W and look at 'colorising' elements - you can achieve some very unique results

Yeah I have recently been shooting in RAW a ton of the time (I find I am liking it better). Makes editing the photos a lot easier and I find the results better. I would be using LR but I have CS5 and find it does everything I want, but the only thing is that I have found my windows computer to become a hell of a lot slower recently so I am going to probably need to upgrade to a mac for photo editing but I would rather spend that money on a new lens… decisions...decisions..
Lax. I would say forget the 24 and 50 and go with the 35 1.4…I have the 35 right now, and I used to have the 24 1.4.
the 24 is super wide, and with a crop body, the 50 is too tight. The 35 is an incredible lens. Just something to think about!You do make a good point… although, I think it would be more challenging and fun (imo) with a 24. I don't think I will be selling the 50 though as I would rather keep it so when I upgrade my body I have more lens to have fun with :)! If I do ever wind up going super-wide I will have to think very hard if it is worth it or not!

Unless you're shooting something you don't really care about having perfect, or high quality isn't important…like family pictures or something, you should always be shooting raw. If its really important to you, when you open the file in CS5 change the mode from 8 bit to 16 bit, it let's you go further with editing and you lose less quality and information. It does make your file larger but if you're working on a file a lot it helps. Jpegs are good when you're shooting large amounts of files you don't wanna edit too much, and for web files, that's about it.

Forgot to reply to your comment! But, yeah high quality is important because when that day comes when I start printing my photos and they are amazing quality then I will be happy.

I k.ow I would love to see some shots ;)! But I take close to 75% of my pictures in my backyard so I'm sure you could find some interesting stuff. I wanna see a couple of shots man!
