Lightroom Effects

The latest trip to Richmond was not only a great time spent catching up with family I don’t get to see nearly often enough, it was also a chance to get out and shoot some photos. Coming back, it became a great chance to play around with the Lightroom 3.0 beta that I have been using, and since the beta period is going to be ending soon, what better way to try and decide if it might be worth buying than to play around with some of Lightroom’s features.

Of course, as I’m mentioned before, I love trying out different presets, and combination of presets, to create some interesting visuals to otherwise bland photos. Monday, being a rainy and overcast day in general, didn’t offer much opportunity to get very colorful images. Lightroom, however, offered some ways to use color, or the lack thereof, to my advantage, and I really like some of the interesting things I was able to do with photos.

Meanwhile, our trip Sunday to Yorktown was a beautiful and sunny day, which offered opportunities to try and capture just how nice the weather was, amidst the history of the place!

    New Purchase

    In the back of my mind recently, I’ve been thinking about my D50, and when it would be time to replace it. A couple of things have brought this to my mind, one being the fact that if I was going to continue using it as my main camera, I need to get it professionally…

    Since Angela was working a pre-game event on campus today, and had asked me to come and maybe take some photos during the event, and since the event didn’t occur until after the College Game Day show ended, I took advantage of the opportunity to check out the crowd for College Game Day. I got…
