I've never used lightroom. I'll occasionally use Photoshop for some images, but (more out of sheer laziness than any attempt at photographic snobbery) usually I just upload my images straight from the cameraphone, so what you see is what you get. The biggest change I make is changing the phone's white balance from "Auto" to "Cloudy." ;-)
I'd love to experiment with lightroom a little. That chalice you posted is really spectacular.
Cool pieces.
Bum....thats pretty sick lookin, thanks for sharing
Jurg, what is that?
Jack-o-lantern chalice
