Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.

Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.

Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.

It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

*** Personal Note ***

January 2020

It has been awhile since I have come back to this set of images.

Original Set of Images can be found here on Flickr

This set of images is and still has been the most stolen set of images I have on the web on several platforms. Literately millions of views with no link back to my work or my photostream. Probably why I haven't revisited this set til now.

Just to let you know, those images were WAY over processed, over saturated etc. Yes I'm guilty. But it was the way I did things back then. I don't anymore.

Every year I go back and edit a few sets of images that deserve to be re-edited or reprocess from raw. I'm also adding several images from this set I didn't share last time around.

Beautiful storm photography from my best of 2014 Collection!

Something about magnolias & sun flares. They go together like peanuts & beer:)

Cruising the back roads of Floyd County, Virginia, I came across this church sitting up a little hill. I drove past it and saw it in my sideview mirror and turned around. Might be a bit too over processed but I wanted the sky to look "other-worldly."

Meant to keep this in color due to multiple light sources (both LED and sodium), but it truly looked weird and not credible in addition to being cheesy. So over-processed B&W it is. And, no, I wasn't stalking couples thru trees w/ a long lens. I waited and waited for a cat or preferably a black dog to show up at that lit patch. I know a black cat hangs out there and there's no shortage of dogs in that park, but it was not to be. Not on that night anyway.

Half of art is accident, but there is

no accident without free experiment.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!

I first uploaded this in April 2006 not longer after I joined Flickr. I just happened to chance upon this couple on top of a hill in Granada, Spain: it is not set up in any way. I had just started out on my 'photographic journey'. The exposure was so off that I used a process on Picasa (all I had at the time) to get this result. At the time I loved it. Looking at it now I realise that less is actually more - lol . I no longer have the original photo so it will have to remain like this - totally over processed.

"All mushrooms are edible. BUT some only once".

I believe the quote is by Terry Pratchett, but of course I could be wrong.

I over processed this using Topaz Studio, the original photo was just too boring.

I have seen some great shots of Haldon Belvedere castle with much wider angle lenses than I have. This is the best I could do with 18mm. =) I was a bit wary of over processing it too.

No bokeh in sight! ;)

Thank you for all the kind words yesterday!

Getting Creative for Looking Close on Fridays, "Fruits (over-processed picture)." What fun I had with this Theme. I've placed the original in my Photostream along with another "processed" image.

Thanks for your comments and Faves ... They do fuel Inspiration. Happy Looking Close on Friday!

Fruit (over-processed)

My selfie. You know, I have never used the words "over-processed" before! Hee hee hee. May God bless you and yours this day.

Unfortunately, the windows weren't the cleanest and on photos the great view came speckled with dust and spots :( Hence the over-processing, as I didn't want to delete this archive shot. That eye-catching gold steeple belongs to a 'mundane' insurance business, despite looking like a royal palace or spiritual temple...

Distant memories from a long forgotten P&S (point-and-shoot) camera that was smaller than a smartphone but had a Zeiss 5x optical zoom and captured decent pics...

For "Looking close... on Friday!" - theme : "Fruits (over-processed picture)".

Durdle Door in Dorset taken from Swyre Head.

A first attempt. Trying 9 sets of 3 images 2 at -1 stops under, 2 at zero and 2 at +1 stops over.

Processed using Adobe Lightroom CC HDR Pano and Photoshop CC with Google Nik Software.

All processing influenced by Vincent Versace's good books, welcome to OZ and Oz to Kansas.

This nearly three minute exposure was taken along the rocky and sandy beach with my old trusty 60D and the 10mm lens ... it was really fun years ago learning the long exposure techniques. I way over processed those images taken many years ago ... this new version of the old capture is processed with little changes to the RAW file, just some highlight reduction in the sky bight area.

Whenever I buy oranges, I always get the super jumbo size; they're the juiciest! But the downside is, they can be difficult to carry out of the store...

Looking Close on Friday: "Fruits (over-processed picture)" theme

The instructions for the theme called for closeups or macros only, and stipulated the use of "exaggerated editing." So I took a closeup of the orange and exaggerated its size slightly. :-)

For the sliders sunday group.

As the description of the group says, there is an art to over processing and still be able to look yourself in the mirror.

I can't look at myself with this one.

Experimented a lot with various things, learned some stuff, but, please, turn that mirror the other way…

we do not see colours as they really are.

In our perception they alter one another.

#Smile on Saturday #OVER-PROCESSED

I've been meaning to get some shots of this abandoned barn and finally stopped by yesterday. Unfortunately, it was midday and the light was harsh. The over-processing is me trying to save a very bad exposure, but I still like it.

On secondary examination, I think I may have accidentally crossed that line and over-processed this one. I may have to redo!

… except it isn’t entirely.

This was taken from the North Devon coast last November. I processed it weeks ago but I have never published it because I was never quite comfortable with sharing the result. You see, it’s more created than captured. The drama comes mainly from the processing and doesn’t reflect the original or even the way I remembered it. As the result is fairly realistic, though false, I wanted to avoid misleading folk.

But for Smile on Saturday today we have a super theme Over-processed Skies. An opportunity not to be missed, and I don’t need to care too much about the level of duplicity involved. I’ve checked some of the example gallery for the theme, and there seem to be realistic over-processed images as well as false colour ones there so I hope this will be OK. I’ll post a link to the in-camera image so you can see where we started.

Processing skies is great fun. All you need is a few tall piles of fluffy white cumulus and you are away. Polarising filters are meant to help (darkening the skies) but their effects are very direction-specific (the skies are most polarised at 90 degrees from the sun and not at all directly away from it) and they create problems with wide angles as a result.

The main object is to enhance colour and contrast. Unless the sun is low in the sky both will be low. These days raw converters offer lots of tools to help like Clarity, DeHaze (or Haze) and the usual contrast sliders.

I remember reading in a book ages ago about how to enhance skies. Just duplicate the image layer in Photoshop (or another layer-based editor such as the free online Pixlr), and then set the blend mode of the top copy to Overlay. Easy then. So having zapped the raw into a contrasty saturated .tif file using a raw converter (I actually used Darktable for that as another experiment) I did something similar with duplicated layers, using Multiply as the blend mode which produces a darker result than Overlay. I sharpened it using High Pass and Linear Light blend at a high setting which improves local contrast. I managed to get a reasonable square crop out of it to emphasise the height of the sky. Finally, I did just a little tweaking and vignetting in Nik Color Efex.

So there we are. The result reminds me of the skies of many paintings I see hanging in stately homes - Constables or Turners perhaps, or dramatic naval battles. All a bit colourful and full of over-cooked drama. Just right for amusing oneself (and others hopefully!) on a Saturday :)

Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :)

This is an image taken a few days ago (Feb. 4th) in Cancun. The final image is a 3 shot HDR image with the 0 shot done at f4, 1/250, ISO 400. Processed in HDR Efex. I try not to "over process" an HDR image but I really liked the extra emotion of the image once I looked at the options.
