Split toning in Lightroom

I have been mentioning split toning in Lightroom here on the blog quite a bit lately, and it's because I have been really loving working with it and getting more comfortable with it.  Now I am finally ready to share my thoughts and experiences with it.  So today you get a mini tutorial on using Lightroom's wonderful split toning feature.  I hope this helps, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions!

New York by night

How do you define street photography?  Today I share a collection of evening shots from NYC and wonder a bit whether it fits the typical definition of street photography.  It fits mine, but let me know what YOU think.  Either way, the streets of NY are beautiful at night!

A stunning sunset in the South of France

Does sleep ever with out over your desire to get out and shoot?  Sometimes it does for me, but generally not when I travel.  I often fight it off for as long as I can stand it, so that I can get in some more shots.  Today's post is a few photos from a stunning sunset in Montpellier that I would have missed if I hadn't been so stubborn!

The cafe life in Paris

It's a big fat post about the cafes in Paris, yay!  :-)  I spent a week in Paris more than a year ago, and just got around to processing some of these shots.  I started with one, then another, and ended up with 11 photos of cafes in Paris.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being there taking them!

A walk through Haight Ashbury

Ah, San Francisco - full of beauty and interestingness and some weirdness, too.  Yep, the City by the Bay has a few spots that are a little different, and today I transport you to one of them.  This is Haight Ashbury, which was at the center of the hippie counter-culture revolution way back in the 1960's.  A lot has changed since then, but you can still feel the vibe in this most interesting district in San Francisco.  Enjoy!
