Last weekend I had the great opportunity to be an “official photographer” for an annual Christmas Parlour Tour of historic homes. While it was crowded and the light was low, making photography difficult, I still had fun finding and capturing some of the details that make these historic homes unique and beautiful.

Yesterday as I was editing the photos in Lightroom I began playing with different types of color conversions. I love how there is so much control of color in Lightroom! In the process, I discovered how to use split toning, where the highlights are set to one tone and the shadows another tone. In this case, the highlights yellow and the shadows blue. Wow! I love this.

It’s amazing how something so simple, editing a photo, can fill me with such wonder and delight. Who needs big presents under the tree? Just let me take photographs, and I’m happy as can be.
