May 25, 2011

The Lowepro Flipside 400 AW camera bag was almost perfect for my trip to the Royal Wedding. I described it in detail and took lots of pictures of it before I actually used it, and it worked for me as I anticipated it would, for the most part. Here’s a picture. I’m about 5’2″, just [...]

Lightroom Presets from Nichole V

December 13, 2010

Lightroom Presets aren’t something that I’ve used a whole lot in the past. But Nichole V recently ran a big sale on her presets, and I thought I’d give them a try.
