One of the great things about Lightroom 2 is the ability to create presets and share them with the world.

If you’re not familiar with presets, it’s basically a saved series of photo adjustments that you can then apply to any image. Kind of like actions in Photoshop.

In this post, I thought I would share with you the many places where you can get a ton of  free Lightroom presets to play with. But before Continue Reading »

The IPhone is great! How’s that to start a post.   I’ve had mine for just 2 months now and it never leaves my side.

For me, one of the best things about the IPhone is the camera. Let’s face it. The image quality sucks. But that doesn’t matter.

I don’t have to tell you that to become a better photographer, you need to shoot, shoot, shoot! Use it or loose it.

What’s great about the IPhone is the Continue Reading »
