I have come across this LR preset called after a Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. You can get it at Really Japan Blog. I just love the effect it produces. Tonight for example I just went out on a balcony and started shooting random objects I could aim my lens at. Downloaded them to my iMac, and few minutes later I end up with something that I like very, very much. Borrowing from the Really Japan blog these photos have that “gritty, harsh, raw, very analogish, almost punk” look.
