More Lightroom Photos
By CJ Mills on Jul 10, 2008 in photos
Many of you commented on my first run at Lightroom editing, so I thought I’d put up some more for your review. I’ve really enjoyed adding some “life” to older photos lately. To give you an idea of the difference after editing, take a look at #2 in its original form.





Which one is your favorite - 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?
Have you taken some cool photos lately? Be sure to drop a link in the comment section so we can all see them!

I like number 3 but they’re all pretty sweet. Number 2 and 3 almost remind me of a HDR (high dynamic range) photo. Nice effects!

Well…since number 2 is my fav picture of Jadyn ever, clearly that is where my loyalties lie. My vote is for 2. Especially now, she looks like a comic book hero. But what would be her name and super power? I’d say The Jadester with the ability to make anyone laugh no matter the day they are having. Heck, she may even be able to thwart terrorism with her cuteness. What do you think her name/powers would be, CJ?

@ckroboth » thanks for the comments, e-mailing you now…
@adam » I have to confess, I didn’t take #4, my brother-in-law did. HOWEVER, it is cropped heavily and edited to convey more of a silhouette feel
@Brad » you nailed it on the head! That’s what I was going for.
@Tyler » I caught those photos on your blog earlier. Looks like an AMAZING spot - and so close to where you live?!
@Angie » her name would have something to do with the Disney Princesses….maybe a combination of all their names? Powers - unmatched energy for sure!

Pic 4. The original pic #2 looks incredible blurry when quickly compared to the edited version. Sweet effect.

@tam » got them and they were great!
@Jono » the original pic had a slight glow effect, which gave is an honest blur…

My vote goes to #4…not only did you do an awesome job on it, but I can “hear” the kids when I look at it, along with the waves and seagulls…makes me feel like I’m there with them! I WISH!

saying we have to pic favorites is liking telling me to pick 1 piece of pie at a pie buffet. this stuff is awesome!
My favorite is #3, second fav is probably #2.
Content is still big for me and although they are all stunning, those two pics tell me a story.
Love it!

They are all fabulous in their own way, but my favs are 3,4 & 5 - and I would frame 4

I can’t pick my favorite . . . so I will go with the opposite and tell you my least favorite . . . # 4 - these photo’s rock my eye balls!

I like number 5, the aesthetic qualities of it are off the chart.
Number 4 is also good, but it looks like Jadyn only has one leg and it freaks me out a little bit. That is all.

@Brooke » Nate gets some credit for the photo taking….
@Brent » I’m with you on the story piece bro.
@Nikki » You say #4 while your other half, @sebren, says #4 is his least favorite. Who makes the decorating decisions in your household?!
@Drew » I thought the same thing myself….but it was too cool of a photo to allow a one legged little girl to ruin it!
