Rich in colour that is! Some of the pictures you already saw in black and white yesterday.
I've spend most of the last 24 hours with these pictures and learning how to use Lightroom. First reaction about it was that it was reaaaallly fucking confusing, since I'm used to using just a simple Camera RAW extension for Photoshop. I started with watching one tutorial from Youtube and just started trying out everything.
Making the first image took me a long time to get ready, but I did make my own preset from it and used it to the rest of the images to speed up the process. The light I was working with was really bad and I had a hard time trying to get the colours right, I don't think I could have done it without using Lightroom.
I like to do a lot of brushing on images, so when I got the hang of it on Lightroom, it was great how much I could have control over everything. From adding highlight, to deepening shadows, saturating some parts and desaturating others. I think Lightroom is very smart, for example, the healing tool works really well.
The problem with having so many options for enhancing a picture is, for me at least, that I have a tendency to overwork the image and it turns to shit. It's not my style to work hours on one image and try to polish it to perfection, I still want my pictures to have a natural feeling to them.
There are some great advantages to working on my self portraits in Lightroom, but I think I'm gonna stick to using Camera RAW for landscape stuff, because they don't need as much work. Lightroom is a very heavy program and I wouldn't use it for a picture that only needs some little adjustment.
