Hopefully, you all subscribe to Photojojo. Their sense of humor, DIY-spirit and downright creative juices get me revved up before my morning coffee. I decided to put their latest newsletter's goodies about creating light leaks into play for you all.
To begin, pick an image that's going to look good with a light leak (or seven.) This one will do!
I'm a subtle girl, so I didn't go for an over-the-top finish, but you can obviously make it look like the sun hammered itself into your camera if you'd like.
Waddya think?
Oh, and if you'd like to be the first to know when our Lightroom presets hit, fill in the form below!

Now, create a new layer in Photoshop, use the paint bucket tool to fill that bad boy with solid black, and change the layer's blending mode to Exclusion.
To finish, add some vintage-hued Totally Rad Actions, and voila! Light-leak heaven!

That's pretty cool.. and pretty damn simple.
