André Scherpenberg's photostream  

I am a hobby photographer. Besides that I am doing Ashtanga yoga. I like to develop my photographic skills. That is why I read a lot about this subject in magazines and books from the library. And I hope to learn more from fellow Flickr members.

At first I used Photoshop after shooting in Raw, nowadays I use Lightroom and then to go for perfection I open up in CS5 for further processing. It works way faster to develop batch photos in LR. But there are some things that can't be done with Lighroom.


Prayer of proper pixel placement:
"Darks on the left,
Lights on the right,
Grey’s in the middle,
and Lord help us preserve
the holy highlights."
