The Sale ends April 3oth 2012..

by Gavin Seim: Lightroom 4 released during our three month winter tour (more on that here), as the family and I road tripped for the best views America has to offer and recorded segments for the new EXposed video series.

Weeks updating presets on the road. From the camper, beside lakes, in parking lots and at picnic tables. But all three Seim Effects preset collections have been updated. Each refined  and each better than it was before. Each fully Lightroom 4 compatible and still equally compatible with earlier versions of Lightroom.

To celebrate the updated Seim Effects Lightroom collections and the coming of Spring, I’m starting a SALE that only lasts through the end of April. With it you can get in instant $10 off any Lightroom Develop collection I offer. And I’m also extending that special for Lightflow, my Aperture collection (don’t want to leave Aperture users in the dust). Every collection is ready for the toughest critics and guaranteed quality.

The details are below. Hope you enjoy. Now we can once again hit the open road… Gavin

Sliver Moon Blues – Near White Sands NM, 2012.

It was just awhile after sunset and I was not expecting an amazing view. We setup camp on the barren landscape of a tiny lake in the New Mexico desert, near White Sands. We ran the usual paces, unloading kids from the truck, planning dinner, getting settled. This is an image from an unlikely place that’s reminded me to never overlook potential.

I noticed what that moon was doing. A sliver moon, but with it’s shadowed area beautifully visible (there’s probably a name for that). I realized it was setting fast and that I had to do something, so I setup just a few yards from camp and started to work. It was not an easy image due to the rapidly setting moon and the low light, but I made this before it set fully and I’m thankful for a good night and an unexpected image.
