Vibrant Color? How do you get that?

[xfloggingkylex]

I found that my camera out of box, and my friends canon XT, both were taking pictures that lacked "punch". What I did was change the color tone from flat (or basic or something like that) to vivid. Also a slight saturation boost will add the punch you are looking for.

One tip for increasing the collors in your photos is to do the following:

Set your camera/lense to the largest apperture (Lowest f/nr. example f/2,8.)
Then close the apperture by 3 to 4 full steps (In this case to f/8 or f/11.) This is where one will capture the best color.

I'm not quite sure where I red this, but I tried it out over the range of all my lenses and found this to be true...

I hope it helps.

Sweet photo! Were you in another fighter, or in a tanker? I like how the ground camouflage contrasts with the mountains below.
