How I took that Shot by Finbarr O’Shea

Posted on by

Finbarr O'Shea came second in the recent 'In Costume' group competition with a beautiful shot of his granddaughter. This is how he took the shot:

"My entry to the costume competition was a picture of my granddaughter, Mikaela, at her Halloween party. She and her friends made a great effort with their costumes and face painting".

"They started with the snap apple game where the first person to bite the apple without using their hands wins. It was during this I got my picture. It was a fun night and a great time was had by all".

"The shot was taken with a Canon 5D Mark 2 with a Canon EF24-70 2.8L at 42mm, 1/125 sec, f8 at ISO 400. I used an on-camera flash which I bounced off the ceiling. Post processing was done in Lightroom where I made adjustments to saturation and sharpening".

Well done Finbarr and Mikaela.

Lightroom 5 Beta Launched

Posted on by

Adobe has released the Public Beta version of Lightroom 5. A beta version is still a work in progress and is released to be used, free of charge, by the public who can report any bugs or issues directly to Adobe who may address them before the final version of the software is released.

Terry White is a Worlwide Design Evangelist for Adobe. He has created the video below where he demonstrates his five favourite features in the beta release.

You can download the free Lightroom 5 beta here. To learn about more technical updates to this release, visit the Lightroom Journal blog. You can submit your thoughts and ideas to this feedback page.

Adobe says that if you already have Lightroom, they will not update your existing catalogues when you download the beta. Rather, a new catalogue will be created where you can import your images. They also recommend that you only use copies of your images in the beta as this is not a finished product and is still a work in progress. Therefore, you should not use your original images with it.
