I processed all these photos with one of the Black & White Pepper Presets for Lightroom 4 – Smooth Shadow. Then I went for the CaptureNX which is great for colors and good enough for BW, but when working on Delicious Presets I used all the LR power, I found it the greatest tool for Black&Whites! Then I switched to Silver Effex, and found the results excellent! But the workflow for plugins in Lightroom is not integrated in LR itself enough. On the beginning I went through the basic LR processing, but it doesn’t quite satisfied me. I always wanted my BW photos to look the best they can and I looked for the best BW processing for a long, long time. The same goes for me, however I like the delicious colors even more, so I use Black&White processing only in exceptional cases. Probably every modern photographer loves great Black&White photography. I just tuned the very few basic settings ( Exposure, Highlights, Whites, Shadows, Black ) for each photo – so easy to fit the preset. I processed all these photos with one of the Delicious Colors Presets for Lightroom 4/5 – Bright Portrait. All the photos are ISO 1600, ISO 2000 and ISO 3200. After the first dance the couple asked me to take a session in the recording studio when Roman plays the drums with his colleagues. I chose 15 low-light photos from the wedding reception of Ola & Roman from the late September. Thanks to the digital photography we have usable ISO 1600, ISO 3200 or even ISO 6400 and ISO 12800, so we are not obliged with using flash in our wedding documentary photography. In a wedding photographer work it is nice to have beautifully lit venues, but we often work in a very low-light situations requiring to go up with camera’s ISO. But how Delicious Presets handle low light situations? It is also not so hard to apply presets in Lightroom when photography was filled with awesome daylight. Photography is all about light and with great light you can create astonishing photos.
