Another from the Pixel

A new pic using the Pixel 9 Pro Fold from my morning walk here in Dallas… I recently released the Pixel 9 Pro Fold review on the blog that you can check out if that sort of thing floats your boat. Still here in Texas for a while visiting the kids and relatives.

Some New Presets?

I’ll release some new presets soon! Do you get my newsletter? It’s pretty awesome, if I do say so myself, and I do! Usually that’s where I release stuff first and sometimes exclusively. Anyway, if you want added just email [email protected] with the subject Presets and we’ll sort you out with news… In the last newsletter I asked if people wanted more presets and for which applications. It was actually a 50/50 split of Lightroom and Luminar! I haven’t released any in over two years, so I’m going through the process now of re-organizing and packaging them. Luminar is a little clumsy for installing them. Anyhoo… we’re on the case talking to Skylum to solve that! Here’s one I just finished editing with one of the new presets!

Lighthouse Pixel

Daily Photo – Lighthouse Pixel

Taken with one of my Pixel phones a few years back. Just to be clear, I’m not getting paid to promote this Google phone! I genuinely enjoy using it and sharing pictures taken with it. While it might not be as powerful as my Sony(s), most people wouldn’t notice a difference in the photos. Certainly, not on social media anyway. I really should update my Pixel review now that I’m on the 7 Pro. I think it was the 5 last time I tweaked it.

Exploring the Sands

Daily Photo – Exploring the Sands

During our epic USA road trip, we detoured to White Sands National Park, where we captured a breathtaking sunset. That’s my buddy Jonatas hauling a tripod and PD bag, while we reveled in an unforgettable evening. Having already braved the Burning Man madness with him multiple times, exploring this unique desert landscape together was a refreshing adventure!

LA Mist

Daily Photo – LA MIST

While at my friend Tom’s place in the Hollywood Hills, we hiked a nearby trail overlooking the city. Zooming in on downtown LA, I captured this shot. Whether fog, cloud, smog, or a mix, it created a lucky and beautiful effect!

While we were waiting on the approaching sunset, I grabbed this shot which just felt right for a little texture.
