Hey everyone, new to this thread but I've been a photographer for a while, mostly freelance, shoot a lot of landscape images and action sports.
My current setup consists of:
- Canon 6D
- 24-105mm f/4L
- Rokinon 14mm f/2.8
- Canon 50mm f/1.8
- Canon 100mm f/2.8
- Canon 70-300mm f/4
I shoot with these lenses which are mostly good quality glass, especially the L series lens I do have.
A problem I'm running into is when I'm shooting anything I go to do some work after in Lightroom, and there's always a weird look to my photos. They don't seem sharp. Also I shoot raw. When I open the photo in LR and click on it, it looks a certain way and then it changes a second later and it's less vivid and seems worse and I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about but I'm not getting the look I want for my images most of the time. Keep in mind I've been shooting for a long time my camera settings and focus are always the first thing I make sure are perfect. I just feel like it's something to do with my export settings or something but I've done quite a lot of experimenting.
Pic is some of my work.

That could be just how raw files look like, you do have to do some post work on them. Try shooting in jpeg with different profiles and see if the problem is still there. Maybe you should invest on learning post processing. Nice pic btw

It's probably showing the jpg for a second (jpg information from the camera is stored in the raw file even if you shoot just raw). Shoot raw+jpg and compare them.
The raw file untouched has no sharpening, contrast, saturation etc. added so will appear soft and drab looking. I usually add a preset to the raws to get something near what I want, then play about with them.
I'm no expert though and could be completely wrong.

Maybe lens correction? Try to correct your images in Lightroom with lens and camera profiles
Why don't you try posting a pic of the problem
In my experience the 24-105 f4L can make unsharp photos, especially wide open. I am not sure but I suspect the autofocus or image stabilization not working correctly.
Try shooting the same scene with auto and manual focusing and with IS turned on and off and compare results.

what this anon said. it shows the jpg settings, then it reverts to raw, loads the colour space, presets, etc...
