Some prefer their images as shot. However, the wonderful aspect of digital photography is that software enables us to mimic and go beyond a dark room, allowing us to not only enhance photographs, but also gain parts of images that might have been lost.

Williamsburg Bridge FinalThe original image at top, which I’ve taken 2 summers ago at night, suffers heavily from bad lighting and under exposure. After just a few minutes in Adobe Lightroom, correcting the exposure, adjusting the color, and intensifying some of the highlights, the image at left shows the outcome. The aqua-green tone highlights appearing on the columns are intensified and the red steel bars running across the bridge are heavily saturated and set to proper red hue. Other corrections feature the removal of cigarette butts and various glass and garbage on the asphalt seen in the foreground.

Last year, I sold my Canon XTI and purchased the revised Canon Digital Rebel XSI along with a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle lens. I hardly ever have the need to do any sort of work to my images in Photoshop, unless I'm cropping, masking certain areas of my photos. Lightroom has become a complete workflow environment for me.]]> Adobe LightroomHaving purchased my very first DSLR, a Canon Digital Rebel XTI 3 years ago, using Adobe Lightroom to alter, touch-up, color-correct  my images has become a ritual for me.
