New Presets Available on FREE STUFF Page:

First off, if you haven’t been over to my new FREE STUFF page, you should head there now and check it out. I’m still in the process of building it up and adding to it, but at the moment you can get some free high resolution desktop backgrounds and some Lightroom Presets so that you can add some of my styles to your own photos.

If you’ve never used presets in Lightroom before, they’re really easy and fun. I’ve got a link below each preset that shows you how to add the presets into Lightroom, and once they’re there it’s just a matter of clicking on them when you’re working on a photo. Then it carries the specific look from the preset over to your photo. Sometimes, this can give you a final look, but often it’s nice to tweak a few of the settings if the preset isn’t quite right, but they always make a good starting point and give you different ideas for how to edit certain pictures.

Here are the presets that have just been added with some example photos of what the preset can do:

Free Preset #1 – Kablammer:

You know those days when you wake up in the morning and realize that you have to go to a friends birthday party that evening, even though it’s the last thing you want to do? You’ve known about it for weeks, but you pushed it to the back of your mind and forgot about until just now. Do you bring a gift or not? Can you show up late or should you be there early? And let’s not even get into what you should wear! Not that you care about any of these things, but you’ll have to pretend to. Well, it’s for these occasions that I created Kablammer. A sip of this, and you’ll be ready for that party. You can even tuck a flask of this in your pocket so that you’re ready for anything. With some kick, some zing, a healthy dose of caffiene, and hint of mint, and a sprinkling of moose urine, this preset is ready to kick some ass and take you along for the ride. Consult your doctor before using, don’t drink if pregnant, and don’t panic when the room starts to spin. 

Free Preset #2 – White Out:

You’re in the middle of nowhere when the wind picks up. It starts as a small rustle in the trees, but quickly the snow starts swirling around you and before you know it, there is a wall of white all around you. Do you start to panic? No. But you do start to think that you should have asked for a GPS watch for Christmas instead of that stupid remote control helicopter that crashed into the kitchen cupboards moments into its first flight, and was soon picked up in the teeth of your neighbours dog who pounced on it like it was made of KFC chicken. What was your neighbour doing at your house anyways? But when your thoughts return, you realize that you’re still surrounded by wind, snow and cold. The dappled sunlight pierces the wall and seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. That’s what this preset is. Bleeched, blanched, subtle, cold, contrasty, and confused.

Free Preset #3 – Threat Level Midnight:

This preset does its best work after the sun sets. Moving through the darkness like a cat…or maybe an owl…actually, let’s go with a panther. That’s definitely the coolest night prowler, and this preset is nothing, if not cool. Made with two parts stardust, one part milky way elixer, and a dash of coconut oil (for the health benefits obviously), it’s safe to say that there is something magic going on inside of this one. The Threat Level Midnight preset (or TLM as the cool kids will quickly be calling it) is great for night shots and astrophotography and is sure to brighten, tint, and shine up anything that you put in its path.

Free Preset #4 – Solid All Rounder:

Have you ever met those people that are frustratingly good at everything? Always picked first in gym class…you know the type. But even as much as you don’t want to like them, you can’t help it. They’ve got more friends than you knew was possible, they’re better than you at your favourite sport (even though they’ve only tried it once), and your parents like him more than they do you. Well, that’s this preset. With some heavy vignetting, some punch in the centre and dark heavy shadows, this preset is a real ringer. It’ll make anything pop, isn’t afraid of much and as much as you want to hate it, it’ll soon be your best friend. Just don’t introduce it to your parents or it’ll be over at your house for supper far more than you would like, even when you don’t invite it yourself.
