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!

A valuable nectar source for butterflies and bees as this species of scabious has a very long flowering period from July to September. Can be known by many other names such as Lady's Pincushion, Blue Bonnets, Snake Flower, Blackamoors Beauty, Pins-and-Needles etc. This plant was also popular with the old herbalists and used as a herb to treat mange, itches, and scabies.

The Church of Holy Virgin Mary is the oldest and most valuable architectural monument in Inowrocław. Built of granite blocks, closed from the east with a semicircular apse and from the west with two stone and brick towers. Its construction probably began before 1186, during the reign of Duke Leszek (1173–1186). The brick towers were probably completed at the beginning of the 13th century. The church was put into worship before October 6, 1233, when the diocesan synod for the clergy of Kujawy took place.
The church erected on the local hill looks beautiful, but it is a pity that it is inaccessible for passing tourists. It is impossible to see its interior even through the lattice, as is used in other churches.

Kościół p. w. Imienia NMP jest najstarszym i najcenniejszym zabytkiem architektury w Inowrocławiu. Zbudowany z granitowych ciosów, od wschodu zamknięty półkolistą absydą a od zachodu kamienno – ceglanymi dwiema wieżami. Prawdopodobnie jego budowę rozpoczęto przed rokiem 1186, za panowania księcia Leszka (1173–1186). Ceglane wieże ukończono zapewne na początku XIII wieku. Kościół oddano na potrzeby kultu przed 6 października 1233 rokiem, kiedy to odbył się synod diecezjalny dla duchowieństwa kujawskiego.
Kościół wzniesiony na lokalnym wzgórzu pięknie się prezentuje, ale wielka szkoda że dla przejezdnego turysty jest on niedostępny. Nie można zobaczyć jego wnętrza nawet przez kratę, jak to jest stosowane w innych kościołach.

German fairy tale
A widowed queen has a beautiful daughter, who is promised to a king's son. The mother packs many valuables for the dowry and lets a maid travel with her. They both get a horse. The king's daughter's horse is called Falada and the animal can talk. When parting, the mother cuts herself with a knife in her finger, whereupon it starts to bleed and drops three drops of blood on a handkerchief. This handkerchief is given to her daughter by her mother, and she tells that the girl will need it on the way..........
Frauenkirche Dresden.... Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004.
Klępsk is a small village in the Lubuskie Voivodeship, known for its historic wooden church, which is a pearl of style and value of the highest class art.
Church of Visitation Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the most valuable wooden and half-timbered temples in Europe. From the outside it looks modestly, but the interior delights with the richness of polychrome. It was founded in 14th century, and during the following centuries belonged to both Catholics and Protestants. After the Reformation in 1576, the wooden church was taken over by evangelicals (Lutherans) who carried out renovation works. The result of this reconstruction was the creation of a picturesque, varied external body. At the beginning of the 17th century, the church interior was decorated by biblical paintings of polychrome.

Klępsk jest małą wsią w województwie lubuskim, znaną z zabytkowego drewnianego kościoła, który stanowi perłę stylu i wartości sztuki najwyższej klasy.
Kościół pw. Nawiedzenia N M P to jedna z najcenniejszych drewniano-szachulcowych świątyń w Europie. Z zewnątrz prezentuje się skromnie, ale wnętrze zachwyca bogactwem polichromii. Powstał w XIV wieku, a w czasie kolejnych stuleci należał zarówno do katolików, jak i protestantów. Po reformacji w 1576 roku drewniany kościółek przejęli ewangelicy (luteranie), którzy dokonali prac renowacyjnych. Wynikiem tej przebudowy było powstanie malowniczej, urozmaiconej bryły zewnętrznej. Z początkiem XVII wieku rozpoczęto prace nad malowidłami wnętrza o tematyce biblijnej, które ozdobiły kościół.

Compiled by C.H.C.A. van Sypesteyn (1857 - 1937), a valuable art collection forms the foundation of the Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. In addition to the collection of portraits, furniture, silver and glass objects, clocks and sculptures, there is also a beautiful collection of porcelain. The Loosdrecht porcelain is particularly worth seeing.
The castle gardens
A garden with hedges, moats and decorative wrought-iron gates characterize Sypesteyn Castle. Via paths and bridges, you can walk around the maze and cross the canal and take a leisurely stroll through the orchards, the park and the castle garden. You will discover all sorts of indigenous and exotic trees during your stroll.
Tribute to Van Sypesteyn
The lord of the castle did not build it merely as a place to house his art collection. As the last descendant of the Van Sypesteyn line, he wanted to build the castle to pay tribute to his family. The stunning garden and park were built in the 17th-century style. Surrounded by the Loosdrecht lakes and the Vecht River, the area around the castle is also magnificent.

O BAΣΙΛΙΑΣ ΝΕΣΤΩΡ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΠΕΙΡΑΜΑ
Ο Νέστωρ υπήρξε βασιλιάς της Πύλου και ο Όμηρος τον αναφέρει ως σοφό, γλυκόλαλο και δεινό συνομιλητή. Ο μυκηναϊκός θολωτός τάφος της φωτό, ανακαλύφτηκε πολύ κοντά στο Ανάκτορο του Άνω Εγκλιανού στην Πύλο και φημολογείται ότι είναι του θρυλικού βασιλιά Νέστορα 1550-1500 π.χ. Το πείραμα με την επωνυμία NESTOR (από τον αρχαίο σοφό βασιλιά) και ακρωνύμιο των λέξεων (Νeutrino Extended Submarine Telescope with Oceanographic Research Project) άρχισε το 1997 και διεξάγεται σέ μέρος από τα μεγαλύτερη βάθη της Μεσογείου στα 5000μ, που βρίσκεται στη θάλασσα της Πύλου.
Στόχος του πειράματος είναι η ανίχνευση των νετρίνα στα 4000 μ, με την βοήθεια ενός γιγάντιου υποβρυχίου τηλεσκοπίου (300μ). Η ανίχνευση τους θα δώσει πολύτιμες πληροφορίες για το σύμπαν και τη γέννηση του.
Αν, όπως η ιστορία περιγράφει, ότι ο Βασιλιάς Νέστωρ υπήρξε σοφός και εάν, η ψυχή του σήμερα υπερίπταται κάπου στα βάθη του σύμπαντος, σίγουρα θα αγαλλιάζει από αυτήν την σπάνια συνομιλία του μύθου και της επιστήμης, του παρελθόντος και του μέλλοντος που φέρει το όνομά του
KING NESTOR AND THE EXPERIMENT
Nestor was king of Pylos, Homer mentions him as wise, and formidable interlocutor. The Mycenaean tholos tomb photo was discovered very close to the Palace of the Upper Englianos at Pylos and rumored to be the legendary King Nestor eg 1550-1500 The experiment named NESTOR (from the ancient wise king) and acronym (Neutrino Extended Submarine Telescope with Oceanographic Research Project) began in 1997 and performed in more depth in the Mediterranean in 5000m, located in the sea of Pylos.The aim of the experiment is the detection of neutrinos at 4000 m, with the help of a giant submarine telescope (300m). The detection would provide valuable information about the universe and the birth.If, as the story indicates, that King Nestor was wise and if his soul today is hovering somewhere in the depths of the universe then will surely rejoice from this rare conversation of myth and science, past and future that bears his name of.
Life is so valuable, diverse, interesting and so fleeting that there is no time to be not who you are and not who you want to be with.

Courtship feeding is something of a misnomer. It describes behaviour when a male bird offers food to his mate, but it occurs most frequently when actual courtship is over. Most courtship feeding occurs during egg formation, laying and incubation and can provide a valuable source of nutrients for females.

Berries have been valuable as a food source for humans since before the start of agriculture, and remain among the primary food sources of other primates. They were a seasonal staple for early hunter-gatherers for thousands of years, and wild berry gathering remains a popular activity in Europe and North America today.
Gdańsk is one of the most valuable monuments in Poland. Almost the entire historic downtown was destroyed during World War II, a significant portion of movable monuments were destroyed or dispersed. After the war was carefully rebuilt.

Gdańsk stanowi jeden z najcenniejszych zespołów zabytkowych w Polsce. Niemal całe historyczne śródmieście zostało zniszczone w czasie II Wojny Światowej, a znaczna część zabytków ruchomych uległa zniszczeniu bądź rozproszeniu. Po wojnie zostało pieczołowicie odbudowane.

Dark orange & yellow crocosmia
plant.Crocosmia
Crocosmia, or Montbretias as they are colloquially known, are really valuable for adding warm red and orange tones into the summer border, a contrast in shape and form to the wealth of summer daisies in flower at that time. Given conditions where they are happy they can be rewarding and long lived. They retreat each winter to a corm – a swollen stem – each year producing new bulb like structure. Over the years these annual corms can pile up to form lengthy strings with the older corms having some role in providing nutrition to the youngest active corm. It is on account of this that the old practice of annual lifting of corms can be detrimental. Also old wisdom had you lift and replant corms late in the year, a practice that didn’t give the corms enough time to settle before winter.
Crocosmia are relatively easy to grow and it might seem that all Crocosmia are similar and require the same treatment. There is a universal desire for a warm spot in sun or dappled shade and a soil that is neither excessively heavy, nor boggy. However, a little study of the parent species can lead to a greater understanding of the condition individual varieties would really like. Several of the species are to be found growing in light woodland in the wild (C.aurea and C.potsii) or in damp grassland (C.paniculata). As a generalisation they come from environments which are moist for the growing season.
The varying hardiness of Crocosia cultivars can be attributed to the contribution the parents make to their makup. Varieties of Crocosmia potsii are considered the most cold hardy, with those of Crocosmia aurea being the least. Cold isn’t the only hardiness issue, Winter wet is also a factor, with Crocosmia potsii being exposed to a fair degree of moisture all year around in its native environment whilst other species such as Crocosmia pearsei needing a lot more exposure to warm dry conditions to be happy.
In the growing season, Crocosmia masoniorum likes it on the warm and dry side, tending to decline in rich moist soils. This contrasts with the requirement of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora for a moist, rich warm spot to produce of its best. Cultivars of Crocosmia paniculata tend to be shy to flower in dry conditions.
If you live in an area where you need to lift Crocosmia corms against the winter cold, it is essential to keep them from drying out over winter. Store them in peat or shaving over winter to prevent them dessicating and when it comes to Spring plant them in cool conditions to allow them to rehydrate before shooting. Planting warm from a dry corm is a recipe for disaster.
The name comes from the Greek ‘krokos’ = saffron and ‘osme’ = smell, referring to the strong smell of saffron given off by the dried flowers when immersed in water.

The Town Hall in Wschowa is a valuable monument of the city.
It is mentioned for the first time in 1435. During the fire in 1529 it was partially destroyed, but the tower has survived. The town hall was rebuilt in the years 1556-1612, again damaged during a fire in 1685 and soon rebuilt as a three-storey building with a baroque façade. Today's town hall is the result of reconstruction from 1860-1870 in neo-Gothic style.

Ratusz we Wschowie stanowi cenny zabytek miasta.
Po raz pierwszy jest wzmiankowany w 1435 roku. Podczas pożaru w 1529 został częściowo zniszczony, ale zachowała się wieża. Ratusz odbudowano w latach 1556-1612, ponownie uszkodzony podczas pożaru w 1685 a wkrótce ponownie odbudowany jako budowla trzykondygnacyjna z barokowym wystrojem elewacji. Dzisiejszy ratusz to wynik przebudowy z lat 1860-1870 w stylu neogotyckim.
Church of St. Jakub the Apostle in Wągrowiec is a valuable monument of church architecture in Greater Poland. It was built in the second half of the 16th century in the late Gothic style, using material from an older Romanesque church.
The interior of the church is three-nave. The main renaissance altar from around 1600. Renaissance paintings from this altar, which were sent to Warsaw for preservation, were burnt during the bombings of the city by the German army in 1939. The rainbow beam with the Passion group comes from the late sixteenth century.

Kościół św. Jakuba Apostoła w Wągrowcu jest cennym zabytkiem architektury kościelnej w Wielkopolsce. Zbudowany został w 2 połowie XVI wieku w stylu późnogotyckim, z wykorzystaniem materiału ze starszego kościoła romańskiego.
Wnętrze kościoła trzynawowe, ze sklepieniem gwiaździstym w nawie środkowej, prezbiterium i kaplicy oraz krzyżowym w nawach bocznych. Ołtarz główny renesansowy z około 1600. Renesansowe obrazy z tego ołtarza, które przesłano do Warszawy celem konserwacji, spaliły się w czasie bombardowań miasta przez wojska niemieckie w 1939. Belka tęczowa z grupą pasyjną pochodzi z końca XVI wieku.
