Night Blur.

I darkened out the other cars in the parking area with a gradient filter, I think this cleans up the image

Lights Ahead.

This uses some fancy colourised gradient filters to light the road and sky. I have also used the clarity tool to selectively blur the headlights

Love Handles.

I have added shape to this image with Lightrooms gradient filters.

Free Photoshop and Lightroom Texture.

These types of textures are great to add texture to an image in Photoshop. You can then bring the composite image back into Lightroom and finish the processing.CLICK HERE to learn more about Adobe Lightroom check out my LIGHTROOM TUTORIAL.

Grassy Grave.


Grassy Grave., originally uploaded by cubagallery.

In this image I have used various gradient filters to flatten the image and make it feel more abstract.

Monet's Lost Car. Found in Lightroom.

Lightroom popped the detail in this image. One technique that I have been experimenting with is reversing the clarity on a gradient filter. This is great for softening the focus on areas that you want to create a bit more depth of field. This in turn makes the detailed areas appear more clear.

Lightroom Hedge


Lightroom Hedge, originally uploaded by cubagallery.

This is what I'm all about, strong design, limited colour and an image that twinkles when you shake it on your iPhone.

Lightroom Fill Light: New York Subway Framing.

It took a while before this image really came to life, in the first instance I never saw the cool pipe work and textures on the concrete areas - as it was black and under exposed. I fixed this by using a combination of gradient filters and fill lighting to bring out the detail. I love the final result.

In this image I have used a colored tint in the grass shadow areas to intensify the color. This function is found in Develop Mode, under the Tone Splitting = shadows - Hue. Check it out you'll love it.

Lightroom Colour Graduated Filters: Melbourne Graffiti Lane

With this image I have added a blue/green tint to a graduated filter coming down from the top. This effect gives a bit of colour to the white buildings and makes it feel more dramatic and colourful.
