Tampa Photowalk a Success!

I just wanted to give a shout out to all of the Tampa (Hyde Park) photo-walkers from Saturday. We had a GREAT time! It was 1) hot, 2) it even rained a little, 3) we were harassed by Hyde Park security, 4) some one fell and dropped/broke their D70 and lens (she’s ok though and [...]

I just wanted to give a shout out to all of the Tampa (Hyde Park) photo-walkers from Saturday. We had a GREAT time! It was 1) hot, 2) it even rained a little, 3) we were harassed by Hyde Park security, 4) some one fell and dropped/broke their D70 and lens (she’s ok though and now seems quite content at the need to replace her older D70 with a D300). But it didn’t dampen the spirits of anyone there. Seriously, I had a blast and everybody there was great. Just about all of the 50 who showed up even stayed for lunch (which was also really good) and that gave us some time to actually talk inside (where it wasn’t 95 degrees ). For me, it was the epitome of what a photo walk should be - people out shooting in a local neighborhood and, more importantly, having a great time socializing with each other. My sincere thanks to everyone in the group for making this past Saturday the best photo walk I’ve ever been on.

• Here’s the link to the Flickr group from my Tampa Hyde Park walk.

• Here’s a link to the book that made this all happen. Scott’s Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers. It’ll be out in the next couple weeks so reserve your copy now.

Make sure you leave a comment to say Hi if you were on the Tampa photo walk or, heck, leave a comment if you were on any photowalk on Saturday and let us know how it went. Scroll down to the next post for today’s presets.

Last week at Photoshop World some one asked a question about the preferences in Lightroom. After answering I realized it would probably make for a good video, as there’s lots of little things in the preferences that are worth checking out (as well as lots of prefs. that aren’t worth worrying about). Oh, and this is only part 1. I realized this video would be really long so I broke it up into 2 parts and part 2 will run next week. Sound good?

Today, I’m officially retiring my old edge darkening presets and I’ve converted over to my new ones which use the Vignettes panel inside of Lightroom 2. Not only does the Vignettes panel offer us the ability to darken the edges post-crop, but they just seem to look better, smoother, and overall less intrusive then it’s predecessor (the Lens Correction settings). Right now, there are 3 levels of edge darkening. But I plan on releasing some more creative presets in the future. For now, light, medium, and dark pretty much takes care of the majority of photos I work on. Have at ‘em and let me know what you think.
