I've decided to start my first photo project. I am going to contribute an entry to the Photography Book Now contest. My brother in law, Scott, is competing in the Coeur d'Alene Ironman. He and his experiences will be the subject of my efforts. It should be interesting. I just barely know which end the bullets come out of the photojournalism rifle. I'll be updating the blog as I pull myself and the project together.
I've Just Learned the Beauty of Lightroom Presets

This particular shot was a piece of serendipity. I had the camera down on the ground tilting up towards Cate. I had no idea what was in the view finder. Considering that, the framing is excellent. Combined with the fact that I caught Cate just as she was releasing the rock, I think this is one heck of a shot.
The one gripe I have is that when I export a photo from Lightroom and then upload that photo to Flickr I seem to lose some saturation and vibrancy. Has anyone else experienced this?
