Blurbs from the life of a wedding photographer

Hey fans, just wanted to point to my most recent album design. Kimberly Frattasio’s wedding was exciting to photograph. As much enjoyment as I get out of taking pictures at the event, I get really psyched when I get to produce an album for the happy couple. This album was no exception, I got to use a wide variety of images and new features of Adobe CS5 and Lightroom 3 to take my creativity to new limits. Here are the results.

In other news I plan to update my blog more often. A site redesign is pending. I’m working on Lisa O’Haire’s wedding pictures. As if that isn’t enough, I’ll be publishing a series of new articles on stuff that excites me in CS5 and Lightroom 3. Adobe, you are awesome!

Well, it’s new to me at least. The site is called Seim Effects. This site has a bunch of free actions that includes a little bit of everything: skin toners, time savers, glow effects, black and white conversions, water marking tools, etc. The lightroom section has brush presets which I haven’t really seen the need for yet. Most of the brush style work I tend to do in photoshop because it’s better than lightroom for that type of thing. The rest of his presets aren’t very many and mostly are just different versions of stuff I’ve already posted, not too exciting. However, the blog has some more useful videos tips and info so check it out by all means.

So I was asked by a friend the other day to help revive the old color slide film look for some of his father’s photographs. I rooted around the web for a while and found a great site: http://lifeindigitalfilm.blogspot.com/. His presets bring back the lovely films I used back when I processed film all the time like Kodak Tri-X 400 and TMAX, as well as some films I never used that much. He also has the aforementioned color slide presets on his page. Check it out if you’re a LR user and enjoyed using any of these films, I believe there’s 34 in one BW pack and a few more in the color slide pack.

Cheers to Presets Heaven for the headsup!
