So who doesn't like Lightroom?  If you ever find anybody then they must be only a film photogragher.  I use Lightroom a lot and I have been getting a lot of questions around how I achieve the different contrasts of my photos.  Well I normally start off by setting one of my favorite presets.   It is very basic and kinds of set the photo with a default look that I usually like.  From there I start to make a different adjustments until one or many of the following happen 

1. The picture looks cool
2. I get really excited about the different contrasts
3. or I fall asleep because I played with the picture to much and I just need to reset to the original.

So with that said I want to share my default Lightroom preset with anybody that would like to use it.   Keep a look out for more and eventually I might create a package of all the ones I use.
