Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week

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! [click to continue…]

Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week

Silhouette of a Goose at Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.

Silhouette of a Goose at Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California. This photo was taken soon after we landed at Utica Reservoir, during our recent camping trip. After Jeff and I and our friends Jeff and Kim decided on a campsite, Kim and I wandered down to the lake to scout out photo opportunities. We had to run back to camp to grab our cameras. The conditions couldn't have been any better. The lighting was perfect. A gaggle of Geese flew in to greet us. Beautiful clouds surrounded us. Everything lined up perfectly! We photographed the heck out of those Geese. The photo shown here is one of my favorites from the ones I captured. [click to continue…]

Jeff & Cocoa cooling off in the North Fork of the American River, Auburn, California. I think I shall title this photo "Rear View!" While down at the river Monday evening, I couldn't resist capturing these two wading in this little kiddie pool. In particular, I wanted to get a unique composition of them! It's Friday again and time for 10 more HOT Lightroom Tweets. Here they are in no particular order.

Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week

Death Valley Nature Abstract - One of my favorite subjects to photograph when I'm not photographing people is nature close-ups. While Jeff & I were exploring Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley National Park a couple years ago, I spotted this "Face in the desert." I wasn't leaving until I got a photo of it I was happy with. Of course, the original didn't look this good. Using the amazing Adobe PhotoShop Lightroom 2 Photo Management Software, I was able to achieve the results you see here. Do you see what I see? I see a face with one eye open and one eye closed. There is even a mouth. The nose is pretty deformed. I'd love to hear your opinions about this photo. [click to continue…]

Gloriosa Daisy in my yard. In Lightroom, I changed the White Balance to daylight and used the Nikon D300 preset. I also touched up a few hot spots on the petals with the "Recovery Slider." As a fairly new and totally hooked Lightroom user, I am always looking for great Lightroom tips. Each week, I keep my eyes wide-open for information I feel is worthy of passing along to other Lightroom users, or those thinking about becoming one. Hopefully, you will find useful information or you will pick up a few new folks to follow. Here are my "Top 10 Lightroom Tweets of the Week" in no particular order. Enjoy! [click to continue…]
