hi, like your photos... do you normally enhance your photo colours (eg. channel mixer) in order to get the kind of saturation here? Or is there other techniques that you used to achieve this? Care to share? Thanks
Hello, thank you! I don't really like using the channel mixer... but there are many other methods of increasing saturation. I personally shoot using Nikon's "vivid" colour setting, with a few tweaks - that already results in an image with a higher level of saturation than normal. I find that increasing just the saturation in post has a tendency to make things look unnatural, so I prefer not to target saturation specifically. For example, when I use curves to increase contrast, it does increase saturation slightly as well, and that's enough for me. I guess the huge other factor with getting nice colours would be the weather and the quality of the light... if you get those two right, the colours just sort of happen naturally.
Hope that helps!
