Hara Kazuaki Lightroom Presets (2 types): "Komorebi" and "Natsuzora"

Two Lightroom presets from Hara Kazuaki, a weekend photographer who lives in a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house and captures his family's natural selves in photographs. "Komorebi" is a preset that expresses the soft atmosphere of sunlight filtering through trees. With a gentle tone that suppresses contrast, it enhances the light of morning and evening. It gives a calm impression to family photos, portraits, and everyday moments. "Natsuzora" is a finish that powerfully depicts the blue and cumulonimbus clouds that spread across the midsummer sky. The slightly stronger contrast setting accentuates the depth of the blue sky and the shadows of the clouds, bringing out the vivid colors and three-dimensionality unique to summer. It is ideal when you want to make summer scenery such as beaches and mountains look dramatic.

*Each preset contains files in two formats: "dng" and "xmp".

" Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Hara Kazuaki. Thank you for checking out my presets. These two presets were created for those who value "light" and "the atmosphere of the seasons" in their photographs. Each of the two presets has a different role in order to express the beautiful nuances of light and the feeling of summer. "Komorebi" is a preset that captures the soft atmosphere created by natural light. It's designed for those who want to create a gentle world by naturally enhancing the soft sunlight filtering through trees and the transparent light of morning and evening. It produces a calm tone for family photos, portraits, and everyday photos. "Natsuzora" is a preset for those who want to capture the power and openness of the summer sky. It impressively portrays deep blue skies and towering cumulonimbus clouds, making it perfect for those who want to dramatically enhance their travel, summer event, and outdoor photos. It was created for those who want to capture truly "summery" photos. We hope you enjoy using it. -- Hara Kazuaki

Preset ② "Natsuzora"

*The example images have had their exposure adjusted after applying the preset.

" This preset impressively captures the vast blue of a midsummer sky and the towering cumulonimbus clouds floating within it. The contrast has been slightly increased to highlight the vibrant colors and dynamic three-dimensionality of the clouds, resulting in a striking image that emphasizes the sky's appearance. The depth of the blue sky and the shadows of the clouds are clearly rendered, making it ideal for dramatic summer scenes such as beaches, mountains, summer festivals, and travel photos. Adjusting the exposure, contrast, and white balance will further enhance the balanced result.  This preset is perfect for those who want to capture the carefree feeling of summer.
