‘Essential Development’ by Sean McCormack

Essential Development_LR5

“Essential Development” by Sean McCormack is the perfect learning tool for Adobe’s Lightroom 5 photo software. In May, I finally had enough money to purchase Adobe’s Lightroom 4. Little did I know that after I installed it, Lightroom 5 was released. I was very fortunate that Adobe up-graded my Lightroom 4 software for free (yes free), since I just had purchased the old version.

I really enjoy working with LR5, but there is so much to learn. Sean’s 140 page PDF gives you the basics on how to work with LR5, but he gives you great tips on how to work with the various new tools Adobe added. Not only will you get the beautiful e-book, but Sean also included 100 presets. I love working with presets, because they give you a quick start to finish the look you want for your photographs.

Currently you can get the amazing e-book “Essential Development” for just $6, including the 100 presets. To get the $1 off the regular price of $7, please use the promotional code EDLR5. To get your copy today, by visiting Craft And Vision. The promotional code will expire on July 31st, 2013. After the 31st, the book will be $7, which in my eyes is worth every penny if you want to learn more about LR5.

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time – happy image making!!!

Craft & Vision ~ Winter in the Canadian Rockies

Photographers of all levels, and geographic persuasion, will find inspiration and insight in this beautiful body of work, and the accompanying discussions, that spans nearly 3 decades.

Darwin discusses in detail the joys and difficulties of working in the cold to capture the abstract and artistic beauty of this magical place. What could be better during these winter months than a great photographer and teacher like Darwin sharing his warm fondness for the coolness of winter?

Winter in the Canadian Rockies – Print & Process is available now as a downloadable PDF for just $5USD.

My personal note on this new ebook: Love it!!! Although we do not have extreme winter conditions in Arizona, I am taken notes on how successful professional photographers archive beautiful images. Darwin’s images are stunning for one thing. I also like how he shared his process on each image published in this ebook.

I also enjoyed Darwin’s honesty: in some cases it took him years to photograph a particular area with a stunning outcome. This gives me peace to know that even successful photographers still refine their process.

I hope you have a chance to download your own copy and read through the PDF, refining your own photography.

Thanks for stopping by today. Remember: God created beauty around us – capture it.
