McFade Edits Phil Gledhill’s “Chris” playing

As part of the Lightroom 4 exploration, we’ve been editing our student’s shots for fun – using just Lightroom 4, no plugins or photoshop.

Here’s one from the Lyric of Chris with his trombone on the stairs.

  1. Original Shot
  2. This shot seemed to suit mono, so started off with a black and white pre-set – went through a few till I got one which looked nice.
  3. Selective brush work to bring out detail and add light to interesting areas of the shot
  4. Added vignette to see whether it worked… down to personal taste really.
