New Zealand Beach Scene, shot on Nikon D3 and processed on Lightroom 4

I really like the simplicity and horizontal structure of this image. I used the brush tool to increase the glow of the sun and added some negative clarity to soften the glow. There was a tenacity to over saturate this image but I decide to reduce the vibrancy and try and create a more subtle effect to the sky and foreground. Generally I was pleased with the final results, the high res image has a lot of detail in the waves and figure which will be great if it gets printed. CLICK HERE to learn more about Adobe Lightroom.

Bird in flight, shot with a Nikon D3 and processed with Lightroom 4

I shot this bird image from a cliff above Muriwai beach in Auckland New Zealand. I was quite proud of myself for actually getting it in focus! I used Lightroom 4 to enhance the background and color palette. The main processing used some of the new features in the gradient filter palette by selectively changing the color temperature of parts of the image. CLICK HERE to learn more about Adobe Lightroom.

Dynamic composition and lighting, shot with a Nikon D3 and processed with Lightroom 4

I recently had the pleasure of upgrading a few bits and pieces including Lightroom. I'm now using Lightroom 4 and loving it. I feel like the effects are rendering a lot smoother and the final out put is better quality. I took this shot at the Melbourne Art Gallery, the light here is amazing, I love the interesting composition in this shot. CLICK HERE to learn more about Adobe Lightroom.
