Hi all photography people
I've had classes on college about photography (used a SLR and a DSLR) and now I've bought myself a camera to start playing with it, a Nikon D3100 w/ 18-55 VR Kit lens.
Today I went shoot some people on a city park. It was around 4:30PM, so the light was helping and I could use lower ISOs.
I was using ISO 100-400 (depending on the place), shutter around 1/600 and maximum aperture (3.5 at 18mm and 5.6 at 55mm). I'm shooting everything in RAW.
After I came back home to process the photos, I needed to increased the contrast by ~25+ (using Photoshop Camera RAW) on almost all photos. Is there any setting on my camera (or anything I'm doing wrong in terms of apertura/shutter/etc) that is lowering the contrast? Can I bring it up using some camera or gear configuration? Or is this completely normal?

Cheers!
