Lightroom side panels

Do you ever get that annoying little thing, that just bugs you so much that you just have to find the answer. The side panels in Lightroom gave me just that. I was clicking the hide arrow obviously to hide it, but it just kept popping back up. Well I found the fix! In this blog I'm going to share the fix and how I customise Lightroom. 

Keep it real HDR

Last year I was asked to take photos of a house a construction company built. I went there with the aim to bracket my shots to give a good choice to play with when I got home. Looking through the shots I decided to edit them in a HDR to give a massive tonal range, as this was not the place for a arty HDR it would have to be a real appearance.

DIY White Balance Filter

If any of you are a reader of my blog, follow me on twitter or just generally know me, you will know that I am big on DIY photography. I do like the feeling of satisfaction you get when you make a photo using something you have made, the sense of achievement if nothing else.The most recent of my DIY products is a white balance filter.

Bracketing

With HDR being such a huge part of photography I find my self bracketing everything. Whether its because I want to tone map the image later in post, or just to get the best exposure possible, and bracketing is a very good way to achieve this. There are a few ways you can do this and in this blog I'm going to run through the settings I use and why I use them.
