Do you like to share your skills with others and learning from others? Lightroom is a amazing tool, and using it as a new photographer should become part of your learning experience. Post processing can separate you from many in the industry. Nothing replaces a great shot out of the camera but a RAW workflow can make a huge difference to so many aspect of your photography. A friend went to Alaska and said to me – "Hey – check out this photo, got any pointers…." So I went for it and gave it a whirl via Lightroom as I know that is what he has to use for the time being and many times Photoshop can be overwhelming….. All I can say is RAW gives you access to a massive canvas of options and opportunities. I made about 15 different versions of the same base image from subtle to over the top in less that 10 minutes. The Result: He is now amazed by what can be pulled from what in the beginning might be considered more of a snapshot to something he can share with friends and family to show the beauty of Alaska. Weather you agree or disagree with heavy or light editing or manipulation – […]
Trying to keep my new rule of editing at least one photo a day going… man it is not easy….. Feel free to comment – love it or hate it……. This was shot with a one light off camera flash setup – AB800, 44" Umbrella View this post on Google+
I sure hope all the positive reviews here are worth it…. Also I have to say this is sort of an interesting new product from them – LENS BLING… I will say for those with a few lenses or a massive bag this could be nice…. View this post on Google+

Well I thought the Introduction of +Trey Ratcliff 's new aptly names Presets was supposed to be a secret for a few more days but clearly it leaked out all over G+…. so I might as well be the first to give them a try on an image that Trey might not ever shoot…….to see if they can work for more than just what they might be intended for….You tell me what you think…..? Presets interest me as I have been using them lately as a way to maintain interest and boost my ability to be more creative and push myself to try new things that are more outside my comfort level. I think many can use them as a crutch (lets call it Instagram) but even there the use of filters and presets etc are making more people pick up a camera and just try to show us the world through their eyes… so why not…. Even if some of us think it looks like crap in some cases, the base result is more interesting stuff to look at in my daily stream… Here is the link to Trey's video about the new Presets and if they are not available to purchase […]
I am not sure if I should be happy or angry…. So +J. Rae Chipera (thanks ) noticed that one of my images was up on Flickr in someones profile there.. (at least they gave me credit….) http://www.flickr.com/photos/23073823@N02/ Best part is I am not alone…as this person is happily posting up everyone's images from 500px.com – so depending on how you like to handle your images you might want to take a look and deal with it as you wish… Part of me does not care, part of me wishes he put a full link to my site.. and the other part feels many others on there might care a great deal… so if you do care deal with it as you see fit….I really have no issues with people using my stuff as long as they tell me and I give them permission or they give me full credit.. I just like to know where it's being used more for my personal knowledge of who might be seeing it than anything really….and god forbid if someone wanted to pay for one I would want to get them a hi-res version… View this post on Google+
