How to create dramatic photos using Lightroom adjustment brushes

Good morning and happy Monday. Here is another shot of an amazing Miami Beach Sunrise. I often forget that I live here and have been missing out on lots of this, but lately I started waking up at 5 am just about every morning to go watch the sun come up more often.

In this video I will show you how to create dramatic photos using Lightroom adjustment brushes. This is a very useful tool and comes in handy with just about any photo you are trying to edit, from event photography to landscape photography.

Click on the photo to see the highress file and play with the slider below, so you can see the before and after. Please give me a like and share this with your friends.

How to edit a HDR beach scene

How to edit a HDR beach scene.

I was going thru an old hard drive yesterday with over 79,000 raw files on it, I was surprised at all the cool photos that were in there. I think its important to go through your old work and see how far you have come and how far you have to go. At least this is how I feel aobut my work. I have come very far and I have sooooo long to go. This is one of the photos that was in the old hard drive and I think its super cool.

In this video I will show you how to turn a regular image into a cool dramatic scene. This is an HDR photograph made from three handheld shots. Please feel free to share and please subscribe to my Youtube Channel.

How to add color and life to your photos

How to add color and life to your photos:
Good day peeps, here is the shot of the day, I was at the zoo all day yesterday and I was lucky enough to get to feed this awesome giraffe, during the feeing I asked him politely if I could snap some shots and he said yes. This was the alfa male and was massive and bad ass. He was surrounded by ladies so he is definitively a king. I love animals so this was very special to me.

Mess with the slider to see before and after and check out the video to see how I edited this photo. Happy day people. Spread the love… (click on photo to see high ress)
