Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

Gary Detonnancourt

This year my camera club decided to have our Christmas party at a local shrine that decorates with tons of Christmas lights.  Of course, there was a shoot before the party and here are some of my images.  I've photographed this place many times so this time I went a bit more abstract.

I'd like to wish everyone a safe, happy, holiday season.

3 Ways to Set a White and Black Point in Lightroom CC

How to Use the Match Total Exposure Settings Function in Lightroom CC

Gary Detonnancourt

When you review a series of images in Lightroom you may notices that sometimes images taken just seconds apart from each other have different exposures.  This can be due to using automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes in your camera because the camera meters each shot individually and producing slightly different exposures.  One fix for this would be to shoot in manual mode and simply make sure you are starting with a good exposure, once set, it will not change unless you change it.  However, if you encounter this problem, Lightroom provides a simple solution for a post processing fix.  Check out the video below to find out how.

Night Shoot at the Seashore Trolley Museum

Gary Detonnancourt

I recently went to a night photo shoot at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine.  They have a nice variety of trains and trolleys and the organizers of the shoot worked very hard to setup interesting shots for us.  The setups even included models in period costumes.  It was a fun (and cold) night and the shoot lasted till 11 pm.  Here are some of my images.  As you can see most of them were lit by strobes and we did some light painting.
