Nice lighting

Thank you. Its a preset in LR. Though I tweaked it just a bit by lowering the brightness, upping contrast and clarity. And with the shot on the right I actually used a brush to bring down the sky's brightness.

haha, I like your shot. Very funny.

Ahh, ok. I'll have a look around at some presets...it's such a great look! And thanks

Thanks so much for the feedback! Will be mindful of the rays next time

Awesome shot - very well executed! The detail in your hands make the shot!

Thanks! I took some shots of my hands pressed up against my glass shower door and then layered those over my posed image. I'm pretty happy with the result

Ha Ha! Awesome! I gotta try this sometime!

Thanks! Wish it was my original idea

I like these eyeball shots! The blue seems to be bleeding a bit into the whites of your eyes. Nothing major though.

Genius Matt, very you!

Get me out of this damn thing (at the very least, stick me in a DSLR)!

Cheers Kev!

Love the fact you can see your skin pressed flat..

Pretty sure i stole this idea from someone who posted something similar here a while ago, but never the less:

Hmm...weird...I checked back and here's the original with nothing but cropping and exposure adjustment (which wasn't a factor in the bleeding). Guess that's just the way my eye is!

...Good EYE catching that though!

You're so pretty. Love the processing on these (preset or not). I like creating presets of my own when I find something that looks good on multiple pics.

Wow, trippy. Your eyes are so blue, even the whites are blue!

I haven't figured out how to save my own presets yet. I should probably google that.....
Thank you. (:

I'm in!
I usually shoot wildlife of the non-human variety, but here we go...

You are very welcome! There should be a plus right where the presets are. Just click that and name it. It will allow you to name it and choose what settings out of the photo you are on to add to the preset (exposure, saturation, etc.). I learned this with a whole bunch of other neat tricks out of a book I just read: The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby. It's seriously a great book. If you like to read, you should check it out...

...google does work too though I guess...

cuuuuuuutteeee.... Nice B&W processing too!

I had nothing better to do tonight so i shot a couple of selfportraits in the bathroom mirror using the 5D2, a 580EX II and a 100mm macrolens. This is what i ended up with..

Thank you Justin! I love to read...and actually picked up that book. But found it rather dry and boring(Okay, I love to read fiction.....) But thanks, now maybe I'll start saving & making my own presets!

Oh! Take it you never made it in far enough for the presets then...or just forgot...can't tell you how many times I've started a learning book and stopped reading it/put it on a shelf/used it as a doorstop etc because of how boring they can be. Not this one though. All well... to each his (or her) own.
