Hi guys and gals!
I'm super excited to let you all know that today, after 2 months of tweaking and testing, I've finally released my Presets package for Lightroom!
I invite you all to download and try it out, and I hope that it'll save you plenty of time during your post processing journey.
In this image I used the Shadow Dancer Lightroom Preset to create the colours that you see there. I couldn't think of a more suitable image to formally release with this one other than a nifty hot air balloon floating into the sky.
Anyway let us know how you go with the use of those presets and as always your valuable feedback is important to me.
Peace to you all, stay hip and stay awesome!

Kåkbrinken is the name of this small street in Stockholm Old Town (Gamla stan). The name is first attested in 1477. 'Brink' is not a word really used today, but mostly survives in names. It means a short slope. 'Kåk' is used today, it is slang for 'house' - and Kåken ('the kåk') actually means prison. But that was not what it meant back in the 15th century, then it meant pillory. This street was named after the pillory found on the square at one end of this street. But it is safe to say that most Swedes today would not know that is the case! (I myself, and I've studied history, found out when I read up on the name.)

This gorgeous tree used to have a perfect crown. It lost its leading vertical branch and now appears split. On a gloomy day I could not help but feel a bit blue for the tree.
I'm on the mainland of Menominee Park looking across Millers Bay toward Ame's Point at the end of the breakwater that protects the bay on the left. Monkey Island is on the right. Immediately to the lower left is the Millers Bay Restoration Site, a project that is restoring and maintaining native prairie vegetation on the lakeshore.

Using the freshest seafood from the loch of the same name (the longest sea loch in Scotland), Loch Fyne restaurants serve a variety of shellfish and smoked fish - all of which are complimented by an extensive wine list. Non-seafood dishes are also available
I can recommend Loch Fyne Kipper's for me they are the best you will have.

I used up all the plain flour making these clouds. this is taken in my favourite golden fields which are so nice and orange at this time of year. I love seeing how nature changes throughout the seasons
I used a long exposure here to capture the movement in the water as it moves around this wonderful salt formation.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
Using a flash or focus assist illuminator on these photo shoots is an absolute No No! Rest assured a few harsh words were spoken by someone at the time!
Used on this photo is a bodysuit and matching gloves from BELLE EPOQUE called Lorea (this round of Kinky), Marilyn hair from Doux, *AvaWay* BEATRITH Pearl Necklace and anklets. The couch, table, candlesticks and lamp are all from Nutmeg and to be found in there store.
I over-dyed this wool from T. The greens are so brilliant, I almost don't want to use them. I just want to keep looking at them stacked up with their edges all whispy...

En la guagua se quedó el olor
De tu perfume
Tú ere' una bellaca, yo soy un bellaco
Eso e' lo que no' une
Ella sabe que está buenota
Y no la presumen
Si yo fuera tu gato
Subiera una foto los vierne' y los lune' (so)

Song: Mercy, Mercy, Me (The Ecology)
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

I think most of you know of my forays into the neighbors' yards to shoot their flowers. Well, today I wanted dandelion seedheads, so, with bucket in hand, I walked for several blocks, and picked off the seedheads off the dandelions from peoples' yards. I'm sure they would be happy about that, right?
Then you can imagine how long it took me to stuff them into six bottles. All for a shot :)

I used to live in the house on the right when I was very young. It was haunted... that or I was having a bad reaction to the Phenobarbital I was given for my seizures.
I always feel compelled to rescue on or two of these when the opportunity arises….Bettie than plastic perhaps, but still mad!
I use it almost every day. Adhesive tape to fix things that have come loose or should be held together. Very often I have already injured myself on this sharp edge. Luckily for this shot, I did not need to tear down anything, just provide the right light.
Fast jeden Tag benutze ich es. Klebeband, um Dinge zu befestigen, die sich gelöst haben oder zusammen gehalten werden sollen. Sehr oft habe ich mich an dieser scharfen Kante schon verletzt. Für diese Aufnahme brauchte ich zum Glück nichts abzureißen, sondern nur für das richtige Licht sorgen.

(The blue pillows are part of wedding preparations which were going on when we visited.)
The mosaics behind the altar is perhaps one of the most famous from late antiquity / early medieval there is - dating from the 5th century. It depicts Jesus in the middle in golden robes with the Torah in his hand. St Paul is to the left of him, and St Peter to the right. The twins Cosma and Damiano are standing behind them, one on each side (though it is impossible to tell who's who - they are depicted as identical twins). To the far right is St Theodore - and to the far left the founder of the church pope Felix IV, holding a model of the church. Felix is actually a reconstruction (but generally thought to be well done) since a later pope replaced him with a portrait of pope Gregory the Great(!). Felix was restored in the 17th century.
The church Santi Cosma e Damiano was founded in 527 by Theodore the Great when he and his daughter Amalasuntha donated two buildings to pope Felix IV - the buildings being the Temple of Romulus and the Temple of Peace, built by emperor Vespasian. These buildings are the foundation for this church. Today it is hard to see how it is possible - standing in the church you can, through a window, look down into the Romulus temple. But this is due to the in the early 17th century the floor in the church was raised with some 7 metres and a new entrance was made - and left the temple of Romulus back at (the old) ground level. The same renovation also added new side chapels and a new ceiling.
A single remnant from a box of mini crackers provided the perfect item for the single use challenge.

We used today to dive into the history of the Danish West Coast visiting the Tirpitz Museum in Blavand as well as the open air museum of Nymindegab. I can highly recommend both locations for people who love to learn more about the life of our ancestors in previous centuries. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark
Tagetes is a genus of annual or perennial, mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The genus is native of south of México, but some species have become naturalized around the world.The common name in English, marigold, is derived from Mary's gold, a name first applied to a similar plant native to Europe, Calendula officinalis. The most commonly cultivated varieties of Tagetes are known variously as African marigolds or French marigolds, many of which were developed in France. Depending on the species, marigold foliage has a musky, pungent scent, though some varieties have been bred to be scentless. It is said to deter some common insect pests, as well as nematodes. Tagetes species are hence often used in companion planting for tomato, eggplant, chili pepper, tobacco, and potato. Z2_168

A photo for today's Macro Mondays' theme "Single use", an Old Mout cider bottle top (highly recommend the kiwi & lime and pineapple & raspberry flavours; yum!).
When I decided to photograph this cap, I imagined a high-key, minimalist feel, but it seemed to fit a more grungy low-key-white feel.
I wonder if anyone photographs this type of shot in the same disorganized manner as I tend to do, with the set-up evolving in the most disorganized and amusing manner, and a huge mess of random 'props' to put away at the end of the shoot! This shot ended up involving a small piece of kitchen roll rolled up behind the bottle cap to balance it inside the white plastic toothbrush holder, which was precariously balanced on top of a random jar, lit by a head torch fastened to a tall bottle of olive oil, and I 'stabilized' my camera on a tin of biscuits!
