Day 2 for the Evolt E-500 and DSLR Noob

[Tyson]

Ok here we are day 2 morning on my way home from work. Give me some input. Filters? White balance? Should have bought a Canon/nikon?

IMO, all of these are normal DSLR shots prior to post-processing.
Filters, except for polarizing or ND, are not needed for digital images.
Do you allow viewers to edit and repost your images?

 

[Tyson]

I don't mind edit away.

 

[The_Traveler]

This is a very quick (3-4 minutes) rework of the first shot just to demo that you can make dull images much cleaner, brighter, etc.

 

[Tyson]

Nice edit.

I love this DSLR, I will never go back to a point and shoot again.

this is what in my opinion post-proccessiong should be for this image. I did this quickly and it's not perfect, but should give you the idea:

I couldn't agree more. A touch of contrast, lightness and/or saturation can make a world of difference as it just adds warmth to an image
