Foggy January morning over the American River Canyon, Auburn, California. This image was processed with the wonderful Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.
Hi everyone! You probably thought I had disappeared and was never coming back. No, that isn't the case at all. I'm just spread a little too thin right now and I had to space these very time intensive posts out a little bit. I hope you understand!
That said, I have put together another collection of mighty fine Lightroom tips for you. Here they are in random order. Enjoy and have an awesome weekend!

Statue of a Gold Miner with the Historic Auburn Courthouse in the background, Old Town Auburn, California. This image was captured last month, during a low snowfall and was developed using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.
You may have seen this statue of a Gold Rush era miner, as you were traveling past Old Town Auburn on I 80. This statue is a representation of
Claude Chana, the prospector who discovered gold here in the Sierra Foothill's in 1848. This is just one of several statues in Auburn, created by Auburn dentist Ken Fox.
Okay, the history lesson is over, let's get on with the main reason for this post. Here are your "Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week" in random order.
Happy Lightrooming everyone and have a great weekend!Â

Residents of Hart Memorial Park along the Kern River, Bakersfield, CA. This image was developed using a combination of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 & Adobe PS CS3.
These are some of the birds that the couple in the previous photo were feeding. There were so many of them, they were really hard to photograph. I did manage to get one photo of them (this one) that I like.
Normally, I would try to isolate one bird verses shooting a group of them, but that wasn't an option here. So, I zoomed in on the bird in the front (left) and used a shallow depth-of-field to throw the background out of focus.
Okay. Let's get on with the main reason for this post - the "Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week." Here they are in random order. NOTE: Please feel free to link this post to your site. The more folks that receive these tips the better!

It is amazing what you can find, if you keep your EYES WIDE OPEN!
This image was also captured during our walk in our neighborhood on Wednesday. This is exactly the way Mother Nature placed these oak leaves and pine needles on their background. I don't think I could have done any better at arranging them than she did!
Of course, it was developed using the amazing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, just like all of our images are now. I think I will try experimenting with a few more presets on this one in the future. It has so many possibilities!

Goose at sunset, Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
WOW - you have to see this one. I hope I don't bore you by posting another Goose image, but I have one more I would like to share with you. This one was taken a little bit later than the other two, as the sky was turning a brilliant pink.
This image as well as most of the images I post on this blog and on facebook will be available for purchasing as a print, or for licensing.
About the photo
Of course, I enhanced the color a little bit in Lightroom. But, this is pretty close to the way it looked straight out of the camera!
Well, it's been 2 weeks since my last Lightroom Tweets of the Week post. Normally, I would have all of my Tweets picked out and semi ready to include here already. That is not the case today, because I have been working on a BIG Website project for the past few weeks. I guess I had better go on over to Twitter and see what else I can find!

I'm putting up a couple more photos from our recent
rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the American River, with our friend Donna (former Professional Raft Guide) and her 4-year old daughter Maya. I hope they like them!
About the photos
These photos were developed using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. Writing this post each week is two fold. I can share a wealth of Lightroom tips with you and I can also share one or more of my images, that I have developed using Lightroom.
Would you like to know what I did in Lightroom to improve these original images? If so, feel free to ask in the comments section below.
OK all of you Lightroomers. Here are your Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week in random order. Happy Lightrooming!

Sunrise and kayaks at Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
You may have noticed that I didn't post my Lightroom Tweets last week and maybe you didn't.
My plan at this time is to post them every other week, until I get the Website project I'm working on closer to finished. It may work out that I continue to post them every other week. That will give everyone more time to try the tips out, including me!

Man kayaking on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
This photo was captured as Jeff, Kim and I were heading for the Lily Pond that Jeff had discovered earlier that day. We were starting to get a little nervous, as thunder bumpers were rolling in. The last place we wanted to be during a storm is in a boat on the lake!
Fortunately, the threatening looking sky rolled out of there about as fast as it rolled in. We were happy little kayakers once again!
