I purchased these yesterday and I love them. Instantly gave life to my photos with just a click of a button. Perfect for me as I am very time poor.
Excellent customer support. I will certainly be recommending you to members of my photo club and anyone else that has an interest in LR presets.
Thereās a ton of value in this forum for anyone interested in learning photography and post processing.
Can't thank you enough for your patience with resolving my purchase issue , your customer service was great . You responded so quickly, stayed with me till it worked . It's those things that sets you apart from the tons of preset companies out there . I will be a life time customer and refer you to my photo friends and groups . Not just for the great quality of your presets but your dedication to your customers .
The POP PACK I got is GREAT!

Thanks for all the work you and your team do Rob!
I have been on a few sites and forums and I am really enjoying this site and the crew here, itās definitely the best one so far.
Thanks for keeping this ship afloat Rob and crew, undoubtedly a big job but the world of photography would be considerably poorer without it.
Just wanted to say thank you Rob and your team for all the work you do to keep this site running. This is the Best photography site out there and I am so thankful to have found it.
I love Light Stalking and the Light Stalkers ā and really appreciate all that you do for us
Just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your Photography Blueprints that I recently purchased.. I bought the full set when I bought the starter set. I have 50 blueprints in all. Theyāre awesome!
I loaded them on my iPhone so I have them available in the field. A quick overview of any type of shooting I might run across unexpectedly.
What a brilliant set of reference tools!
Hi all, thanks again for your wonderful feedback on my koi photos. I am thrilled to feel so welcome in this caring and dedicated community. Thanks to Rob for creating it, and thanks to all for making me feel a part of it! Constructive feedback sensitively done is a beautiful thing that helps us grow.
I love this ā thanks so much for sharing these ideas. They're practical, easy, inspiring all at once.
As a newbie photographer I find your articles great and easy to understand. Thanks for the information you have given in simple straightforward talk.
I have tried to memorize various settings and have a good basic understanding of the triangle, but the starter pack, which I printed and keep with my camera gear, has taken my knowledge to the next level. It's great as a quick reminder of how to set up and what settings to use in a variety of situations. Definitely worth the value!
I have started writing to you before but rambled on too much and didnāt finish it!

I have started writing to you before but rambled on too much and didnāt finish it! So ⦠this time ⦠I just wanted to say how brilliant the projects are! Iāve really enjoyed both the black and white and the light projects and have had a go at taking some of the photos which turned out ok ( practice, practice, practice !) Havenāt got round to posting one yet but I will, just getting my confidence levels up! Am getting a great library of info together ā¦I missed the last week of black and white which I was disappointed about but it was a valuable lesson that Iām not going to let happen again! Am looking forward to seeing what the next topic will be. Reading the articles then answering the questions is a great way to check that you are taking in the information in the different articles. I also love how the actual photography project tells you exactly what props you may or may not need, lighting, camera angles and settings, they really are very thorough and an enormous help! Sometimes, once I have taken photos as recommended in the project, I experiment with different settings, angles etc. which I find is a great way to learn more about my camera, what it can do, the different effects it makes and getting a feel for what I like doing, what aspect of my photography I need to work on etc.
So⦠Iāve rambled on again and what Iām trying to say is thank you! I love the projects and really look forward to Monday when it seems that the new project is out. They are a fantastic learning device, and I so appreciate the fact that I have access to them ⦠now I just have to work up the courage and the know how to post a photo! Thanks so much for this opportunity! Cheers, Lesley š
I always love reading the thorough tutorials that are posted here, even though I don't understand half of what I read. I am just getting started with Lightroom , and if I learn just one tip each day I'm happy. Today my takeaway is learning to work with the color mixer panel for black and white photos. I didn't even know they would affect my finished photos. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I've watched it a couple of times and think its awesomeā¦
Excellent article from the best photography service on the Web. Thank you Light Stalking team.
Thank you Federico Alegria, your article was really interesting and useful.
Great tips for an amateur landscape enthusiast like me. Out practicing from tomorrow.
Love your posts! I always learn interesting and relative information
Awesome post. I loved reading it.
Spot on! Loved this post Thanks to Matt Brandon for sharing
Excelllent ideas! I totally forgot about the lace curtains and how their casts are so lovely. AND, I cannot wait to try steamā¦excellent and thank you!!!!
Great article, thanks, Jason. And I love your photos !!!!
Great article..love your tips.
I love all of your articlesā¦. I was planning to buy my first gun for my canon 700-d and i had no idea about what to consider⦠But this article helped me out very muchā¦
Thank you team Light Stalking..
Great article and lovely images. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic article. I loved it. Please keep more coming our way.
Love the photography! you're my inspiration.
These LR tips are great and certainly help me in my post processing. Do keep it up
Sharing one's expertise do help those that love shooting images
Love this. Really motivational. Definitely need to get out there and take even more photos than I do!
Love the article! have to admit the buddy system has been great for me. The Foto-Flockers I met through our camera club have really challenged and inspired me. Thanks Sheen!
I love your tipsā¦they are easy to underdtsand for beginners!
Great article. I love shooting square.
First a big thank you to Light Stalking being a great resource to read, I love your articles.
I've been using your 'Pop Pack' Lightroom presents for a few days and I'm having a lot of fun with them ā some great results.
Rob, Great journey with a great team.
Thank you all for making this possible and for us keep on enjoying it.
And it's is only the beginning.
Congratulations on PBTD (Photography Blog of The Decade!)
Just loving your site and your info ! Thank you so much !!
Pam
Love the Presets! Thanks so much!!
Hi there!
Iām really enjoying the pack, hereās a few photos Iāve used the presets with thus far!
Thanks,
First impressions are great, now have to test them in use.
Thank you very much
I love the lush landscape pack with faux hdr and falling sky. My two new favorites, I have only played with it a little but so far loving them
Friendly community of photographers!
I just downloaded the presets today and this is one of the first images I used a preset on. Worked great and saved lots of time!
I love the pack so far. I only have lightroom for a few days, and I am dazzled with all the possibilities. I hope there will be more affordable packs in the future!
Works well for what I need them for š thank you
Thanks for checking in with me! Presets are installed on my iPad Pro 12.9 and Iām loving them! Hereās an image of my new Pomsky pup, Whisky. I used Archetype-Electric to enhance this shot on my iPhone 11 Pro Maxā¦love the result.
Your presets are beautiful and easy to install. Planning to spend some time soon exploring your website.
Thank you so much for your help. I was able to download and get the presets into lightroom.
And so far they look awesome! I am going to have fun with these! These are my first ever presets. (I am not very techy and normally donāt even edit.) so between your presets and me getting Lightroom I am overwhelmed! But having fun.
This has to be one of the better photy sites on the Web.
Love the articles and the information.
Brilliant.
Can i honestly say you are one of the most helpful companies ive ever dealt with. to get a reply is nice to get one within a few minutes is fabulous,
Thank you so much Rob! I want to take this opportunity to tell you how supportive your organization has been since I first joined. You and your employees respond quickly and are always encouraging. Itās the support Ive been looking for and only wish i wasnāt 1/2 the globe away as I struggle to make the concept of the āExposure Triangleā an automatic thing I do each time Iām going to take a photo. Thank you again, Miriam ( from New York)
Everything is good. They promptly responded with links and followed through. I like the cheatsheets and lots of good testifies. Go for it! Lots of resources.
I am really enjoying the downloads
I bought these and printed them out. They are most helpful, I'm currently learning photography and these cheat sheets are a great supplement.
I recently signed up for the monthly photo projects to try and inject some āget āer doneā in my bloodstream and get out to do some shooting. From what Iāve seen so far, with the four macro projects, nice stuff!
Thanksā¦looking forward to these projects!
Your site is SO much better than so many others . . . all the people from Europe, the US and the UK send out endless spam-style emails once youāve watched one of their tutorials or whatever. Lightstalking, Photzy and PhotoshopCafe donāt . . . I think it must be the down-under influence! So, thanks for that. Plus I love the projects and the information.
Very helpful site and beautifully laid out.
Great Web pages and FB page too. I've learned and have been inspired from your stuff.
Thank you for the cheat sheets. I enjoy your daily emails with their hints. Thank you.
Thank you for all you have done for the photographic community and, especially, those of us who are not professionals with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
I have recently purchased some packs from your company and I think that they are absolutely wonderful.
As I live in the Northern Territory, I will be using the landscape and wildlife the most and I am excited to get into light painting.
I really like the Light Stalking site and am appreciative of everything you guys are doing.
Thank you. Great! Just what I need to increase my hobby
Greetings, thank you for the news letters, many are so inspiring..
I am new to organized photography. I feel comfortable handling camera. I am slow, but developing knowledge about what to do. I don't know how I get your newsletter , or who writes it. With my reply I want to say your newsletter is very good. It is well written and interesting to read. Thanks for sending .
Hi Rob. Thank you very much for your 'cheat sheets' ā I do not think they are cheating, Google has suspected of translating freely from the magazine. I love your newsletters, which I benefit greatly from. When I'm out to 'shoot', many of your tips are in the back of my mind. Many are not new to me, but still it's great to get tips and tricks again sometime.
I am very happy with the Photo blueprints I purchased. I found them to be an easy to use and convenient resource for different photo situations. I bought them for my son, who is starting out in photography.
This is the best photo group I have joined in the last three years of searching. I learn every time I open one of your posts. Thanks for quality articles written with the novice in mind.as well as the pro.
Received my blueprint started pack. Printed them out and added them to my camera bag. Used several of them so far. Made a difference in the photos I took. Love the way they are laded out, so easy to follow. Great value for the price. Thank you, Light Stalking, for developing such a wonderful tool. thanks-lew
Answering the questions: I have tried to scour the internet through You Tube, FaceBook, and any recommended source, trying to and improve my photography results. I have found the Blueprints a great/quick reference to adjust settings and to remind me of the specific elements importantn to the shot. The initial starter pack was a good purchase at $5.70. I am using them to build my own reference library both in hard copy , and digital for easy access on the road.
I am constantly reading, enrolling courses, and practising whenever I can. But my memory is very unreliable, and I try to cram too much into my ageing brain.I love this pack; the information is relevant, concise, and easy to follow to tweak my memory. They are also beautifully presented, which makes them a pleasure to use.
I have tried many different help classes in the past. The cheat sheet Blue Print Starter pack was so easy to follow. I feel it was a steal at $5.70. Thank You
At first I would try to clean my lenses or try to only take photos at certain times of the day. After purchasing the blueprint starter pack I have now started to experiment with shutter speeds and my ISO ranges to try to get better photos. These are simple and handy to use for wildlife and landscapes and Iām seeing progress very quickly. The price of $5.70 is excellent value for better results.
I just downloaded my starter pack! Iām a novice photographer that is just getting back to my camera after a few years off. I plan on making a little laminated quick book to attach to my camera bag. Iām so excited for all of these quick tips!!
Thanks for the starter set of blueprints. They have enabled me to get photos I would have missed in the past while trying to decide on settings. Looking forward to the Exposure Set.
I have plenty of wonderful reference books. I used to be a full time photographer 30 years ago and now I shoot part time around my day job. I will be returning full time in a year or so. Those cards are great for carrying around to refresh old skills and learn some new tech. With a busy day job, I can keep a few in my backpack to read at lunch ⦠or whenever I get stuck waiting for something. Great value and so portable!
This starter pack is amazing and full of valuable knowledge! I love that everything fits onto one easy-to-grasp page of info. Thanks Light Stalking for simplifying photography!
JUST RECEIVED MY STARTER PACKET AND THEY ARE AWESOME. i PLANNED TO PRINT FHEM ON CARDS STOCK AND LAMINATE THEM AND PUT THEM IN MAY CAMERA BAG. REALLY, THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY AND THEY GREAT REFERENCE AND GREAT LEARNING TOOL.
I have just downloaded the blueprints and I think they will work really well. You can cherry pick the ones you need for the days shooting, or for a little revision before you go. I'm still learning and these are simple and easy to have as part of your kit. They are helping with the setting decisions I am making. Still a learning process but I definitely like them as a starting point.
It is always of benefit to have simple but comprehensive data at your fingertips when you are on a shoot, these Blueprints are a great support!
I have enjoyed reading the blueprints. The have clearer information than other articles I have read. One page per concept is great. $5.70 is a really good value.
First, thank you for these terrific "blue prints." They are very well presented with very valuable information. Although I'm familiar with many of the techniques, the blueprints provide a nice reference and reminders when out shooting. I am more or less a generalist, but I love abstract, street, rust and ruins (barns and backcountry) and flowers. I love to dabble in still life, food and ballet as well. So these sheets will be accompanying me outside and into my "studio."
