How to Choose the Perfect Lightroom Preset [Guest Video]

I'm pleased to present this guest video post from Mike Newton, the founder of Hacking Photography.

You can get Mike's Hacking Photography Lightroom Preset System here:  Color Blast Presets and Black and White Presets.

You can also Sign up for Mike's Monthly Photo Edit club, where each month he sends you five new videos showing how he edits photos in Lightroom, plus 10 new Lightroom presets every month.

There is no better way to learn than to watch over the shoulder of a pro as he works!

I hope you enjoy this video and take advantage of Mike's presets and Monthly Edit training!

How to Shoot HDR Photos

HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography allows you to capture light and shadow details that you just can't get in a single photo.

Now that Lightroom has the ability to merge HDR photos, one of the questions I get from my Lightroom course students is "How do you take the photos in the first place?"

In this quick introductory video, I show you the basics of how to shoot photos for HDR and how to merge them together in post-processing.

Lightroom Workflow for Event Photography

Watch over my shoulder as I process a set of photos from a real life event in Lightroom. See Importing, Rating, Culling, Organizing in Collections, Exporting, and Delivering the photos.

Naturally I can't show the level of detail in this 18-minute video that I show in my full-length courses.  For more info see my online training programs:
