Create Every Day

I’ve been playing around with my new copy of Lightroom 3 lately (I snagged a copy for only $70 — hooray for close-out discounts). So far I’m pretty impressed. It’s reasonably snappy even on my older system, it’s quite easy to use, and the results I’m getting are pretty good with a fairly minimal amount of editing effort. The tool seems to hit a good sweet spot of being just powerful/tweak-able enough without going all the way into full-blown Photoshop “OMG TOO MANY OPTIONS” mode. I’m looking forward to making some new prints again to see how they compare with the ones I was getting from DxO, and to figuring out the relative strengths of each tool. Anyway, without further ado, here are a couple of shots that I was playing around with. These are both from my iPhone.
