Geoencoding (GPS) Plugin for Lightroom

Jeffrey Friedl has done a bunch of great plugins/piglets for Lightroom. This plugin – for Lightroom 2.0 and later – allows you to geoencode your photos from within Lightroom. This means you can put your GPS data right into your…

What the eyes can’t see…

Yesterday I was on a seminar about web trends and took some photos. The light in the room wasn't good enough to take photos without using a flash. Still, I took some test-shots before I turned my flash on and the result was not satisfying at all. In fact, some of the photos was so bad you couldn't see what was on them. Fortunately I had my external flash with me and was able to take some really nice shots on this day. But, imagine you just had one shot and no flash this time and your photo turned into blackness...

A great way to use graduated filters for spectacular horizons

When you're out taking photos of horizons (oceans, beaches and landscapes etc) you really have to think twice before you take the shot. With an incorrect measurement in the camera it's hard to get the right exposure on both sides of the horizon. Sometimes you don't even have the time to adjust your camera to get the perfect exposure. Lightroom is just the tool for you when it comes to horizons and exposure problems.

Burn the light into bright

Hi everone! It’s been sometime now since I last updated PH with a preset. I’m sorry about that but I’ve been soo busy planning my upcoming wedding in September. I almost wish someone else could do it for me. ;-).…

Let me enhance the beach…

It has been some time now and I feel a bit ashamed I haven't updated you with more presets lately. Obviously I've been on a two week trip to Thailand recently which made it impossible (well, almost) to get you some LR candy. I have around 700 photos that are lying on myexternad HD right now, photos I've taken during this trip. It take some time to "take care" of them but when it's done I promise I will show you some of them :-) Right now I'm happy to give you a brand new preset. I call it "Ocean Power". I made it when I was cleaning up some of my beach shots to enhance to colors and brightness.

A preset that goes dark in black and white

It has been some time now since I published a new preset. I'm sorry about that but I've been totally filled up with work and planning. I felt I just had to give you a new preset before the week end. This preset preset is called PH Dark & Light Contrast. I think it works great on some of my holiday photos. They tend to look more like an old postcard when I apply this preset. Enjoy.

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.
