African Safari Pictures

Since there are only a couple of days left until we take our trip to Tanzania, I thought I had to prepare myself a little bit. So I started to look around tips & tricks for safari photography and came across this great website African Safari Pictures by Bruce Whittaker.

Playing with print presets

I always wanted to create some nice gallery-style images like Moose Peterson did in his yesterday’s post. So today I started to play around with print presets in Lightroom 2. To achieve the same result, I first created an identity plate in Photoshop and used that as background in the print module. You can see the result below.

Monument Valley

Antelope Canyon

Grand Canyon

I am quite satisfied with the result so far. The next step is to create a portrait template as well.

Timelapse video export from Lightroom

Sean McCormack over at LightroomNews describes a neat way to create a timelapse video right out of Lightroom (requires 3 beta). Using a special slideshow template as well as a video export template, it is possible to create a 720p 24fps movie file.

Lightroom 3 beta resources

As you may already know, a couple of days ago my favorite photography tool “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom” received an update – although it is still in beta. I immediately downloaded it and played around with it for quite some time and I really like the changes made. If you want to learn more about Version 3 beta, check out this post on Lightroom Journal by Tom Hogarty where he lists some great resources to this topic.
