Thanks so much for helping me on my last Nikon lens and 'rookie questioni'. I've come up with another that I feel may be a little abstract after my brief yet complex writing :)
Do the more expensive lenses produce more 'realistic coloring?'
When I look over websites of great wedding photographers or National Geographic photos I can see a difference in their colors. My faces always seem to be a little over saturated esp in the faces. I shoot a D70 with kit lens 18-70 3.5-4.5 G ED
I'll provide an example and if this makes sense, meaning I'm not crazy, I'd love some helpful advice. The first photo is mine, the second is one of a wedding photographers who shot with the same lens but with a Nikon D200
Perhaps I'm crazy and the difference is too subtle, but when I view these two my own photo has more saturation that doesn't really look as natural as the colors in the wedding shot.
So back to the original question modified:
Do the more expensive lenses AND/OR cameras produce more realistic coloring or is it all white balance?
PS. I use CS3 and white balancing in RAW but I can't seem to land a 'perfect realistic colortone' in my mind. Anyone ever tried the expodisc? Thanks a bunch!
