I’ve been spending some (ok, alot of) time over the past several weeks getting familiar with the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom application. I’m amazed at how fast I can create stunning (at least to me) effects with very little effort… as compared to say, a more complicated program like Adobe Photoshop.I feel like a kid with a new toy! I’ve been sifting through my old shoots and finding new ways to bring new life into the images. Here’s a shot of a model I photographed several months ago. I think she looks amazing in high-contrast black and white… in Lightroom the conversion took about 3 minutes. And that includes the time it took for me to learn the various controls and keep my cat Baba from walking on my keyboard.Click on the image to view a larger version.
