Happy New Year

Kāds pusgads būs pagājis kopš iepriekšējās reizes, kad kaut ko ievietoju bloga sadaļā. Jā, jāatzīst, neesmu cītīgākais rakstītājs, piedošanu.

Vēlējos Jums visiem novēlēt veselīgu un prieka pilnu Jauno gadu!

Ja zināt kādu, kurš Jums pastāsta - meklēju fotogrāfu , ziniet, ka ar lielāko prieku esmu gatavs sadarboties. Gan Latvijā, gan citviet Eiropā!

Photo exhibition

LV

Aizvadītajā gadā man bija lieliska iespēja paviesoties Islandē un Lapzemē, kur sekoju pa pēdām Latvijas Radio žurnālistēm Paula Gulbinska un Sandra Kropa, un veidoju foto materiālu par viņu radio stāstiem.

Tagad to var apskatīt Ziemeļvalstu Birojs Latvijā jaunajās telpās un gaidāms, ka izstāde apceļos arī Latviju. 
Pateicos par to Ziemeļvalstu Ministru padomes birojs Latvijā un Zinamais Nezinamaja!

I had a wonderful opportunity to visit Iceland and Swedish Lapland during last year where I was making photo material of interviews (for Latvian Radio). 
Currently there is photo exhibition at The Nordic Council of Ministers in Latvia office with best of the pics from these amazing trips. Thanks to Nordic Council of Ministers in Latvia office and Zinamais Nezinamaja team - Paula Gulbinska and Sandra Kropa.

I had a great opportunity to travel to Helsinki, Finland for first time.  Very limited time, but I got several photos despite of that.

Many thanks for support Nordic Council of Ministers Office in Latvia!

P.S. Why I was there - information will be available later during this month :)

Testing workflow - Lightroom presets

Recently I had a chance to try out presets, introduced by Sleeklens (company that provides workflow for professional photographers).

I have never been a huge fan of presets but this time a gave it a chance and... it works out nicely. I didn't like the color exaggeration for some of brushes but most of them worked well with my pictures. I liked the "Brighten shadows" tool the best.

In short - easy for using, large collection, highly recommended for those who don't mind using presets in their photography and are too busy for editing pictures in more complex ways.
