I came across a site, www.presetsheaven.com, that hosts quite a number of Lightroom presets. One of them, PH Naturally BW has been used to post process this photo. I also used Adobe Camera Portrait Beta 2 profile. Rather nice end result, wouldn’t you say?
On a slightly different note, all is coming nicely together for me on the photography front. LR2.1 has been released recently. I do not experience any problems with it whatsoever. LR export plugins are doing their job of uploading the photos to Flickr™ or Zenfolio very nicely. All my uploaded photos have proper title, complex, automatically generated caption, plus a discrete watermark is applied (and I am not talking about the copyright text in the right bottom corner). I have to admit that my photographic work flow has evolved into something I’m very happy and content with.
To make things even better, after the move, when unpacking some boxes I didn’t even realized still existed, I came across an old set of Cokin filters I used in my film camera days. And guess what? The filter adapter is 72mm (perfect for my Sigma 10-20), the stash includes couple of soft edge ND grad filters (recently I was thinking of getting them). A polarizer (although it is not circular polarizer so this is of limited, if any use on digital camera). And I thought they were all lost when we moved from the land of OZ to Switzerland.
Life is full of surprises.

maze, you have a point there. I just might be tempted to do this. And color version as well. What do you think about my watermarking. Can you even see it?
