lightroom fun for Halloween

I got a few shots of some of my favorite kids on Halloween. And played some with some new Lightroom presets in the process. I've been learning SO much new photography stuff in my Blogging Your Way e-course, I simply hate to see it end. Right now there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything done that I want to try to do. No changes were made to the above photo, but hello? How darn cute is that? Homemade costumes, people! Spencer Rocks!

Nurse Rebecca, and her gorgeous angel girl, Margaret.

Seen again with the preset Gavin's Old Polariod, found here. The change is subtle, but moody. I like it.

The original is on the left, and it's pretty cool looking itself, if I do say so! On the right, we have WIW Dust, found here.

And finally we're back to Gavin Seim, with his color fantasies, found here, this one called Lemondrops.

Best part of all of these is that they're FREE.  I think one has to be careful not to go crazy with these things, and I have seen the preset fun overdone, but seriously, folks, I could have downloaded presets all day. I'm feeling pretty sure they'll pop up on my photos every so often.

They are perfectly subtle. Old Polaroid and WIW Dust have a very ethereal feel. Actually, Old Polaroid looks like some of the pics my grandpa used to take. I love them! Tres bien!

Oh, thanks for the tip. As a fellow photography lover, you know I'm going to have to give these a whirl.And, yes, homemade costumes are the best. My nephew was a garbage truck! What a crack up.
