Lightroom Preset: Ambient Light

 

Today I will be showing you how I use presets from The Creative Flow to take the guess work out of my Lightroom edits. This is a photo that I took last year in Clear Water Beach, Florida. We were staying at a hotel on the ocean and decided to take a stroll after dinner.  The white sand and the sunset reflecting off the water made for a beautiful shot.  There were so many seashells washed up on the beach as the tide came in. The experience reminded me of when I used to search for sand dollars on family vacations as a child. I remember thinking that they were worth money and looking at the ocean as if it were a pot of gold. This photo was taken in late November and although it looks like a warm night, the whole week we were there was unseasonably cold. We were wearing long pants and fall jackets to stay warm. You would never know it though thanks to presets from the The Creative Flow.  It always fascinates me how presets can give any photo a completely different look.

For this shot I used a Canon 5D MKii camera with a 24-105 mm lens. Settings were: ISO 400, f 4 and 1/250 sec. I imported the photo into Adobe Lightroom and started looking through the Creative Flow for presets that enhanced the shot. Here are the simple steps that I took to get the final look:

Steps I took using The Creative Flow:

Step 1.  I opened the Sunshine Collection folder and selected:“Ambient iii.” This is a fantastic preset for lightening and warming shots that are captured in natural light.

Step 2.  Second, I opened the Refine- Base folder and selected“Shadows +50.”

The final photo looks warm and inviting. I love how the preset boosted the colors yet still kept the photo looking soft and ethereal. Sometimes we need to add a bit of sunshine to our lives, even if it’s only through the magic of photography!
