No, they said to not rely on full Auto mode.
I really like the one in the Hong Kong street, I like the processing on that, you can tell the area is pretty vibrant and the processing fits that.
Nicely done adding Bruce too

I'll try and stick a couple up this evening, I like the idea of the thread.

I put a few up later when I'm at home.
Here's one of my examples.
Once taken, looking at it on the camera screen, and indeed with no adjustments made, I thought it was a "thrower".
However, a few minutes playing when loading it into Photoshop, and it's made quite a difference - has made it a "keeper" instead I think.

As has been said before. Raw will always need processing.
I used to use RAW all the time. However now I shoot in JPG as well. JPG adds more processing and makes as shot images look a lot better - I find this easier for judging the shot on the fly and determining if I have captured what I wanted.
However the bonus with RAW is that you can pretty much do what you want with the image.

I pretty much only shoot RAW. Imo processing a photo is essential, taking a photo is only half the process.
Like said RAW images give maximum opportunity for change and seeing as I like to mess around with photoshop it suits me. It's Also a massive help recovering a poorly shot picture.

Absolutely stunning processing.
Just makes me realise how much more could be extracted from flat-looking shots.
I had a quick look through my raw and processed images. None were a massive improvement in comparison.

Would love to know what you guys are actually doing to achieve the effects you are
I'm playing around in LightRoom and only suceeding in making them look stupid.

It's hard to say exactly, I just build up a load of adjustment layers until I get what I want, these usually consist of adjusting curves, colour tones, etc. Then I also duplicate layers in order to do cloning, bringing out the colours in eyes, dodging, burning. Every image requires something different.

well thats obviously the first place i'm going wrong then
as i'm just applying one adjustment to the whole picture.
How would you bring out the colour in the eyes ?

A good thing for that is using the dodge tool. It lightens them and makes them look a lot more vibrant. Especially awesome for blue eyes
