The wife and I took a drive today in the sunshine and ended up at a local covered bridge. I took the opportunity to practice shooting and taking a lighter touch on the results when I went into Lightroom. Here are the before and afters: As you can see, I did adjust the geometry but…

So my wife is super tolerant of my new hobby, amazingly so really. Here is the one of the first photos I took of her in our kitchen: It’s overexposed I think since I was playing with settings but it isn’t a bad shot. As I mentioned, I tossed a photo of her on Discover…

On the way back from Sunriver I stopped to take a photo of a ruined farmhouse. I love seeing what nature will do to a human-made structure given enough time, and this place was an excellent example. I was beat from the drive and so just used the Lightroom “recommendations” for presets: My daughter, who…

In addition to taking photos of my kids, one of the reasons I started taking photos years ago was to capture memories of our pets. It turns out that our current Boston Terriers are pretty good subjects, if not somewhat easily annoyed by me telling them to “stay” and “look at Mommy”. It’s been fun…

My wife and I have a place in the mountains and we went up this weekend. Of course it snowed like crazy but fortunately I had just put good Winter tires on our daily driver so I got to get out and grab some photos in the snow. As I was masking the car in…

As a car guy, capturing “rollers” is going to be important, and I have a ton of experience driving my cars so that other people can get cool moving shots … and zero experience on the back-side of the lens. So I gave it a shot. Now I handicapped by not having an actual car…

Are presets in Lightroom cheating? They sort of feel like cheating to me, but likely I am thinking about it the wrong way. Case in point, here are two images: Can you tell which one was edited using a preset suggested by Lightroom and which one I modified myself? I bet you can, but which…

Since I only now have a reasonably good camera I haven’t had much experience shooting at night. The iPhone 13 Pro is pretty good but it also just seems to fill everything in … or miss everything. I still haven’t shot much at night but I wanted to explore Lightroom a little and see how…

One of the coolest things I have learned about in Lightroom is the opportunity to “remix” other people’s work and have them remix yours. I have been taking advantage of that to see what other folks would do with my photos. This photo of my Porsche 993 “RWB” has been remixed a handful of times…

As I learn Lightroom I am also learning that it’s pretty easy to overdo it. Case in point: I had this blown out photo of the new Singer Turbo Study car from a private showing in 2022. I played around with it for a bit and showed my son … He literally said “that is…
