RE: Some more shots from Haskell Gardens

Your choice of subjects is beautiful. You have a great camera, but when I saw the pictures for the first time I was 100% convinced that these pictures were taken with a smartphone. The color saturation, especially the green, is completely over-the-top, which smartphones often do. Of course, this is also a matter of taste.
With the Sony cameras, you can of course simply influence this via Picture Styles.
No offense intended.
I would like to hear your thoughts.
Best wishes!

Thanks for the feedback i cannot blame the camera or profiles as i shoot in RAW mode and edit myself and perhaps your right sometimes i may overdo the colors especially the greens as you say its a matter of preference and i edit as i like depending what i see on my computer screen maybe the colors on that are not calibrated but i will think about this when i edit tomorrow

Color management and -theory is indeed a difficult matter.There are tons of books and ressources on that matter. Especially important in product photography and reproduction work. You are shooting in RAW, so you have all choices. Actually even professionals are using jpegs in special cases, i.e. event photography or high speed sports shootings. The jpegs of modern cameras are often quite usable except in special almost monochrome lighting situations like in forests under the tree canopy.
All the best!

Yes the odd time I do an event then I shoot in jpeg, such as todays memorial day parade

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day
