lightroom fun

208 / 365
Had a lazy day today but aquired myself a copy of lightroom :) I knew it was coming so shot everything out at the beach the other day in RAW so today was all about playing with my new programme, amazing! maybe i should post the before of this photo. I ended up using 3 different programmes on it, lol :)

i have got myself behind in viewing now! sorry folks, I will have to catch up in the next couple of days.

Beautiful open beach! I always love the before and after comparisons, so no complaints from me if you upload the original! :)

Wow. That was clever. I have lightroom but never use it. Must give it a go :)

Love the shot! I use Lightroom all the time, love the program. It seems to be people either "get it" or not, that it either works for them as a timesaver or they don't like the whole processing side of things. I love it and photoshop, love playing around with pictures.

Fantastic shot! I saw we have been assigned into a team for the get pushed challenge. I will try to have a closer look at your pics hopefully tomorrow but have a busy day - so Tuesday at the latest I will 'push' you :)

I don't know what you did to it processing wise, but the finished product is really lovely.

Okay, so her comes your challenge. I love your colourful and bright album because I like bright things.
For this week I would like you to try a more dreamy and soft feel in a picture (either through post processing, white balance, subject). Have fun!

@traeumerlein oohh, ok, nice challenge, i do admire other peoples soft dreamy shots but im not sure how to pull it off so i shall have to do some research :) thanks :)

@emjay8 whenever I have attempted to create that feeling I found it easier to shoot soft colours with soft backgrounds and then adding a layer and maybe enhancing brightness or making exposure longer. I use the 'tranquil' filter in picmonkey a lot for those purposes. Also, I think you can just ask people what they did in a particular shot that you like.

reducing saturation might help, too :)
