Adobe Lightroom Community Fund 2021

cityscape Community fund Landscape lightroom Nightscape Photography

I am stoked and honoured to be working with Adobe and Katrin on this Lightroom project!
As a landscape and wedding photographer who uses both Lightroom and Photoshop to process my images, the main goal here is to develop 20 Discover files in Lightroom.

Discover files allow viewers to watch how the file was processed in Lightroom, view the camera metadata and Save a Preset of the develop steps.

The image of the lone tree above was the kickstart to my project. Below, you will understand my edit process in Lightroom. All the steps and tweaks I've made in Lightroom are listed out accordingly. I will present both the Lightroom and Mobile interfaces.

I chose a total of 112 RAW images. I was initially chosen for my landscape and astrophotography photos, but because I am based in the most light-polluted city in the world, my astrophotography photos are limited to the travels I make. The LR collection can be seen below.

In the meantime, I have also uploaded this project on my Instagram and Facebook to gain traction and get more people interested in the Community Fund!

Notice the link that pops up immediately after you upload? It links you directly to the learn the edits. You link is then ready to be blasted on your social media platforms!

This is how Katrin notifies me on the shots to be edited. She will like the photos from my LR catalogue that I have shared with her, and as we go along I will see it reflected either on the Lightroom desktop or over on https://lightroom.adobe.com/

As I come towards the end of the project with just one more picture to go, I saw a trend that potentially generates more likes. When I upload my images during the day in Singapore time, the reach is countably lesser than when I upload after 11pm SGT. I'd like to think of this as a coincidence, and it could be, but uploading at night works better for me!

I uploaded my last Discover File for this project two days ago, and for now I have successfully completed this journey with Adobe! Before I bring this to an end. I'd love for you to join me on a visual journey of the images I've created.
