69 – Subtle Vibrance Boost

Since the Summer is almost here (yeah right…), here’s a photo of Anttoni [Huonot Uutiset] from last Summer. I wanted to keep the colors untouched, so I just did some adjustments in the basic module in order to make the photo pop a little bit more. As always, I had to add some vignette. Here’s the final photo. Not too different from the original, but you can notice the difference if you compare…

68 – Boosted Blue Shadows Lightroom Preset

I went to see Anttoni and his band Huonot Uutiset. Here’s a photo of him after the gig. The photo is fairly dark, so I started by maximizing the shadows slider. Then I used split toning to give some more vibe to the photo Here’s the final photo with the Lightroom preset applied. The shadows are more detailed and they have a nice bluish vibe.

67 – Brighter Punk Rock Lightroom Preset

Here’s a photo of Tom while he was playing in Circus with Punk Rock Band. In addition to the basic increase of the exposure, I added some greenish vibe with the split toning module. Here’s the final photo with the Lightroom preset applied. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET

66 – Green Vibe Music Lightroom Preset

Here’s a photo of Hade, the bassist of Punk Rock Band. The photo is quite dark, so I increased exposure and shadows. I also decreased contrast, which is an easy to way to make dark photos look brighter. I used spilt toning to give a greenish look the photo. I added green to the shadows and left highlights untouched. Here’s the final photo. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET Check out their cover: Punk Rock Band…

65 – More Dramatic Lightroom Preset

Here’s another shot of EME. The evening was getting darker, so I felt that I had to go for something more dramatic with this one. I started by adjusting white balance towards cold. After this the whole look is mostly done with clarity slider. Increasing clarity makes any photo look more dramatic. However, the effect is very easily overdone. Here’s the final photo. At least to me the change is not…

64 – Inverse Blockbuster Split Toning Lightroom Preset

EME was also performing in Lempilava @ Kallio Block Party 2016. Here’s one photo from that gig. I started by increasing warmth with white balance. Then I went for inverse blockbuster split toning, so I pushed highlights towards blue and shadows towards orange. The final photo ended up like this. Here’s also a live video from that gig.

63 – Punk Rock Band Lightroom Preset

Punk Rock Band is almost the official cover band that plays solely punk rock! I went to shoot a live video for them, and of course I had to shoot some photos too. So here’s a photo of Emppu. First I started by adjusting the white balance towards cold. I lifted blacks with the tone curve. This is something that works really well in dark photos. Then I went to adjust blues. I added luminance in…

62 – Subtle Enhancement Lightroom Preset

I have still one more photo of Ylona from Lempilava / Kallio Block Party. Basically all photos can be a bit brighter, so I started by boosting shadows Then I toned the photo a bit with split toning, because I felt that it could be slightly warmer. There’s not much difference in the edited photo, but to me the final photo is more lively than the original. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET

61 – Going Green / Lempilava @ Kallio Block Party 2016 Lightroom Preset

I took one shot more far away of the Lempilava stage in Kallio Block Party 2016. I wanted to make it more flat, so I turned contrast almost all the way down. At the same time I boosted some vibrance so the photo wouldn’t be all colorless. Then I made the photo feel more greenish by using the SplitToning. Not so surprisingly orange and teal were my choices for hues. They work so well together that…

60 – Looking for Brighter Summer Concert Photos Lightroom Preset

Here’s another shot from the gig of Ylona @ Lempilava / Kallio Block Party 2016. Even though it’s a nice photo, I wanted it to be brighter, so I increased shadows and whites. I used highlights slider to recover some of the blown out whites. I used white balance to make the photo warmer. Besides increasing Temp, I decreased Tint so that there would be a greenish cast over the photo. So here’s the…

59 – Getting Ready for Summer Lightroom Preset

This time of the year must be the best possible time to go through some photos from the last summer. Here’s one photo of the guitarist of Ylona, while they were playing in Lempilava @ Kallio Block Party 2016. As so many times before, I didn’t really like that blue roof, so I went to HSL tab and changed the hue of blue. Then I added some warmth with SplitToning module. I didn’t touch the tone of…

58 – MadCraft @ Circus

We were supporting Simple Plan with MadCraft while they were playing in Finland. As I was on the stage, I gave my camera to our lead singer’s brother Ted who shot this picture. In my opinion it was shot with too wide angle, so I cropped it a lot to show only Arto, MadCraft’s bass player. I started by pushing white balance towards blue. Then I used HSL/Color/B&W module to adjust the orange a bit.…

Blind Channel @ Circus Lightroom Preset

Here’s another shot of Blind Channel, this time from the gig. What’s different in this preset compared to my other preset, I used only the basic module. About 99,9% of times I start by adjusting SplitToning module, but I felt that it’s unnecessary with this photo. Lots of the look is created by the reduced vibrance. Here’s the final photo. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET Check out this live video from Blind…

56 – Blind Channel Soundcheck Lightroom Preset

MadCraft and Blind Channel were the opening acts for Simple Plan while they were performing in Circus, Helsinki, Finland. Here’s one photo that I shot during the soundcheck of Blind Channel. I used Lightroom’s splittoning to push the blacks more towards blue. This way I got a bit rid of the yellowish cast. Since there was a big red Simple Plan logo in the background, I adjusted the hue and…

55 – Crib45 Lightroom Preset

Crib45 was the last band in Sture21. They play kinda doom metal, so I tried no to use many colors. Here’s the original photo. As you can see, it’s all blue. I added some light and reduced most of the saturation in the basic adjustments module. The final image looks like this. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET

54 – Sole Remedy Music Photography Lightroom Preset

Here’s a photo of the bassist of Sole Remedy. There was quite little light, only a dim main light and the background was lightened with few led lights. Since blockbuster colors work well if every photo, I used that look once again. That blue gives nice edge to the photo. Here’s the final photo. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET

53 – Adjusting Blue Lightroom Preset

Here’s a photo of Mikko Herranen playing the drums for Kilt. The background was mostly colored with blue, of which I am not a big fan. So I adjusted it to be less saturated and more teal. Since there was also some orange, I boosted it with the split toning module. Here is the final photo of Mikko Herranen. DOWNLOAD THE PRESET
