Ready to edit your cloudy day photography in Lightroom? Today we’re editing an entire gallery and I’ve got a new YouTube video tutorial for you, too!

Double exposure in-camera and without photoshop? Yes, please. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do a double exposure in the easiest way possible.

The above shot was taken right after the sun had disappeared behind the trees. There wasn't a ton of light left (you can even see car headlights in the bottom right photo), so I had Charity turn to face the last of the light. I wanted to be careful not to overexpose and lose the detail in her white shirt, so I underexposed this image a ton. I wouldn't have underexposed by this much, but there was such a difference between her white shirt and the background that I needed to make sure to protect the detail in her shirt.

Open Lightroom and let’s chat about four areas you won’t necessarily use on every image, but when the time is right, these secrets add that extra somethin’-somethin’ to your photo.

If you do a quick Google search, you might see a tutorial that involves just opening the Develop module (located in the top right menu in Lightroom), locating the presets section and right clicking on User Presets —> Import...

Never do this when importing presets into Lightroom. We've gotta keep Lightroom easy for you to use…
