Sunday Photography: Thomas Hawk, LR tips, & more
- The Lightroom team welcomed photographer/blogger Thomas Hawk to Adobe SJ earlier this month. Thomas has detailed his visit & has posted some great images. (Lightroom/Camera Raw engineer Zalman Stern jokes, "Cool article, but if things really looked that saturated, I'd bring a Geiger counter to work to make sure they weren't radioactive.")
- Lightroom tips:
- It's too easy to view a single great photo in isolation, rather than as part of a process. Art Wolfe walks through his process & outtakes, narrating the starts & stops on the way to getting a great result. [Via]
- Joel Saget captured a terrific composition of a French aerobatic team. The image is part of a solid set from the Wall St. Journal.
- Photojojo rounds up an excellent set of The Best Free Photos on the Web.

I always laugh when digital photographers manipulate their images to achieve a film look. In other words, they want the film look without "bothering" to shoot film. Just look at the digital film craze that Adobe has cashed in on. They actually want you to believe that digital presets are just as valid as actually shooting the great films many of us enjoy.
Ironically, this will just add to the overall effort to eventually kill film. :(
