One sure way to give your imagery greater impact is to harness the power of shooting photos with a unique perspective. This isn't difficult to do, it just requires looking at the world differently, and then capturing what you see.

German pro Christian Mohrle is a favorite among Shutterbug readers for two reasons: His imagery is stunning and the tutorials he posts are extremely effective and to the point. So when Mohrle identifies a Lightroom tool as the software's "most powerful feature," it's time to pay attention and learn how it works.
