Epic Sunrise Photography in London
I often say that it’s my duty to shoot sunset or even sunrise photography! I love landscapes and cityscapes, so I must take these pictures when the conditions are right!

A fix to Adobe Lightroom presets visibility
This may be old news, but I often hear this question about Lightroom presets. The Problem Over a year ago, Adobe decided to refine (= overhaul) how presets work in Lightroom.
