Get the CSI Miami look

This is my first attempt to make some ocean/beach photos look like they were taken from the series CSI Miami. All of you who have seen this series know what I mean. All movie shots from that series have a very warm yellow/green tone with. It's hard to explain but the before/after images below might give you a clue of what I'm talking about.

8 Epic Lightroom presets for weddings…

This is a collection I've set up for those of you who are into wedding photography.
Many photographers adds that little extra touch to their wedding photos to bring a special feeling. With Lightroom and a couple of presets you can do the same and make your photos pop out from the rest, within a couple of minutes.

And the winners are…

Thank you all for participating in the "Wonderland" presets contest.
Many entries have been sent in but only three of them can be winners and now it's time to reveal them.
Judging this kind of contest is very subjective but the focus was not to send in the "perfect" photo. Instead, the focus was on the choice of preset used to achieve an effect that improved the photo. With this in mind I have decided that the winners of this contest are...

Presets Heaven featured in Pixelicious podcast.

Recently I received a mail from Doug, one of the guysbehind Pixelicious.com. He told me that my site was mentioned in one of his podcasts. I just had to check it out to see it for my self. It's always nice to get publicity in a videocast :-) The site is full of videocasts of tutorials on how to use Photoshop, Lightroom and digital photography.

Thank you Doug for the nice words in the video of yours.

12 + 12 new presets from Sarah

Sarah-Ji who is a documentary photographer has been doing a lot of experimentation in post-processing with Adobe Lightroom lately. She found my site and decided to contribute to it as many others allready have done. This contribution includes two sets of 12 plus 12 presets. The second set includes the same presets but with the exposure lowered (for already bright photos).

Desaturate that photo and make it fade away

Once again I've been playing around for some time in Lightroom and this time it resulted in a brand new preset. I call it PH Fade away because it desaturates the photo and gives it a bit of mocca touch. The shadows are leveled out to flow with the lightness and the black areas have increased contrast adjustments to bring depth to the photo.
