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!

Lady of the Sands

Daily Photo – Lady of the Sands

The first image I took at Burning Man in 2013. At the time I was fairly sure it was a keeper. I’m not always right, that’s for sure! However on this case I was off to a great start at the burn.

A Smile

Daily Photo – A Smile

There are so many art pieces at Burning Man that inspire me, and this was a simple and beautiful one with a serene smile.

That New IG Crop

If you missed it yesterday, here’s how to do that (probably buggy) IG post type that gets quite a bit of interest…
1) Go to https://business.facebook.com/latest/composer on your laptop/desktop) – untick FB in the interface if it is connected, leaving IG on.
2) Do the text.
3) Upload the image (in this case the image is 2.1k x 7.4k) and as it’s uploading immediately hover over the publish button.
4) Publish becomes clickable for about 0.25 seconds before the error kicks in about crop.
5) Whack the publish button during that 0.25 seconds!

A Fun Weekend

Daily Photo – A Fun Weekend

It’s been a crazy few months here with a major project or two coming together so this weekend I’m off to a festival here in NZ as a little treat. I guess after settling back into the groove on my return I should talk about my new camera. 🙂

A Bag of Cameras?

Daily Photo – A Bag of Cameras?

Did I just take a bag of random cameras to Burning Man 2012? Looking back at the images, from loads of different bodies, it seems so! Here’s one from the Olympus TG-1!
