I'm no expert in PP but I don't think these have had too much done. Just looks like colourful photography in good light with good exposures to me (Blind old bat though so pay no heed)

I agree. Just good shooting conditions and well exposed. I do sense a hint of full-framed glory about them though....

EXIF for one of the most recent shots says Model: Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

CANON FF

Seriously though, what AliB said. Although in a few cases. if I've taken a dull looking picture, having a plug-in like Nik Sunshine can do wonders!

 

[POAH]

take your photos in good light firstly


there is nothing special about those snap shots (colour wise etc). I doubt they have had much PP done to them

A polariser can help if you have a nice blue sky.

As far as I can gather there is nothing sinister here. The colour saturation has probably been given a notch or two of boost, and it looks like some of the photos have had their white balance warmed up, to give that film-like colour gamut that some of the photos have, a particularly good example being the girl leaning over the fence to pet the horse. Warming up the white balance above and beyond a few hundred kelvin of what it 'should be' is how I achieve a similar effect - like this:

Of course... my photography isn't a patch on that fella's, but...

I have found by adding 20 vibrance on my Nikon D3 I get a more colourful image without look too oversaturated.

Vibrance doesn't apply so much to skin tones.
