Last weekend, I shot almost one thousand images. The handful I just
posted are the "good" ones. (Relatively speaking...)
It turns out I *really* love photographing small things! (Now I have a
camera that can actually *do* that.)

Those are all very nice, but the colors are not very vibrant, and there
is not a lot of contrast between the lights and darks. Sunnier weather
might make for easier pictures.

Yeah, having an expensive camera makes it possible to get much closer
shots, but no camera on Earth allows me to control the Sun, sadly. :-(

Wrong!
First you need a virgin and a sharp knife... ;)
Actually I think that they are just a tad overexposed.
I adjusted the exposure in Paint Shop Pro. What do you think of these two?

(BTW I cancelled my last post because the image sizes were too big.)

I think Andy's original posts look pretty realistic, much more so than
your tweaked versions.

I prefer Andrew's too. The colours look quite naturalistic, to me. But
some people prefer a more dramatic image.
Reminds me of the time a colleague and I spent a day installing and
setting up a TV projector. We were quite pleased with ourselves until
our American OIM said it wasn't vibrant enough. Grrr! :)

On the other hand, in National Geographic you often see vibrant tropical
scenes even when the sun is not shining.
Maybe this will help?

I don't agree. Imho they have the right tone and warmth coming with a
winter overcast environment. I do not believe in vibrant colours; I find
that the majority of the National Geographic colours are artificial and
often lurid.

Lurid colors, eh? ;)
My favorite is the purple leaves in the adjusted "Berry" pic.
(I googled lurid to see if there was a meaning other than sexual. Colors
*can be* lurid!)

And here I was going to say that calling it a 'newspaper' might be
considered a bit of a stretch. :)
It's certainly paper, but "news"? Not from what I've seen. :)

You won't get any arguments from me about that opinion. :)
Although I will say that the light on our west coast can be very
attractive.

Indeed, the same is true here.
