Yo!
A bit of over-processed photo but I liked how it looked. There was this epic sunset yesterday and my battery ran out - both of my spares were at home. Yay!
Wow, it's been 4 months, huh?
A submission to Flickr Friday on the topic 'Beholder". An afternoon on Manly Dam, seen through the eye (and camera) of the photographer. Also submitted to Sliders Sunday, where over-processing is encouraged.
Intersection of 2nd Ave East and 8th Street East in Owen Sound during a snow squall. Facing north-west. The city hall is centre and the farmer market is to the left. The wind chill was -27 C and my fingers froze so quickly I could not feel the shutter button on my camera after only 30 second of exposure.
There was very little traffic and the winds were blowing hard during this shot. It was a beautiful night.
I shot this with my f2.8 Tokina lens to capture more width rather than zoom in. I also desaturated this a little to dull the red and green traffic lights. I contemplated monochrome but wanted a little colour.
The few touch-ups were done in Canon's Digital Photo Professional. I adjusted white balance, cropped, and desaturated. I am trying to step back from over-processing to create 'perfect' photos with software. There is something of authenticity when some of the grain in a photo is left in place. It reflects the quality of my entry-level camera and inexpensive lens. By the way, this photo is full of grain due to the immense amount of snow coming down.
From time to time, I look through the negatives I have on hand - I always save them in case I become a super-famous photography icon - and came across this earlier today. It's one of those "oh crap I didn't mean to shoot this" shots. I find it to have some appeal. I agree with the notion of Count Basie, who once said in reference to music and art in general "There are no mistakes!"
I kinda like it and am a bit surprised at the detail. I think that I over-processed it a bit here, but oh well. After all, there are no mistakes!
If you're keeping score at home, I shot it to Arista EDU400 with the Smena 8M and developed in D-76 (1:1). You can take a look at the camera here:

Cliche Saturday
Theme: A Flair for Hair :}
My beautiful friend Anna take's the best self portrait's with her blue and green wigs. Her green wig is actually being passed around flickr.
I couldn't resist so I went ahead and bought myself a pink one. I lovvve it... but I have to say doing the hair flip with a wig is not easy! So props to you Anna!

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!

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!

The promotional poster of Les Miserables was my inspiration for this shot, please let me know your thoughts - if you think it is over processed or anything else you can suggest? . I used a beauty dish camera left with 2 600 ex powered to 1/2 power and flagged the scene to avoid any light bouncing back onto my subject. For the backdrop I went to the craft store and bought a yard of denim.
In this photo you won't see me standing in one of my heroic poses with the beam of my torch light pointing into the night sky, nor will you see towering mountains with an incredibly over processed milky way above. All you'll see in this photo is a beautiful southern hemisphere night sky taken from a field near the coastal town of Kaikoura in the South Island of New Zealand.

I realize its a bit over processed and the composition is a bit off. I may try this concept again soon. But i spent a lot of time on this and and about 45 min outside in the cold in a skimpy little dress, so I decided to post it. i just got my 50mm back and the focus ring jammed again for no reason. That was the only lens that I had on me so I had to work with it where the focus ring was jammed so I couldn't try cool perspectives or anything. does anyone else have that problem with the 50mm 1.4? Anyways, I have been trying to photograph how I feel and I have a bunch of sketches in my notebook that will soon try to execute. I bought a new lipstick for this, I'm still indifferent about red lipstick on me, I think its a bit much but hey it went with the concept. On a side note I'm working with a really awesome model this weekend which I'm pretty excited about.
anyways, enjoy. :)

This turned out OK, I guess. It's a hard ruin to photograph. Almost all the photos of it on the internet are way over-processed to bring out the color in the ceiling. I tried to avoid that to some degree. Looks a bit underexposed to me.

Happy Fence Friday..HFF!!!!!!!!!!
I think I over processed this one, but I still kinda like it. It would probably be more interesting If I could remember which building that is..:)
I decided to post this tonight because tomorrow morning I have an appointment with the foot doctor. I have some pesky warts on the bottom of both of my feet. Getting old is way over rated..;)
I didn't notice it until tonight, that the top of the post is missing from the corner post. Hummm, a mystery..;)
over processed for higher definition of tail.
****Thanks for all the interest everyone ;)

A somewhat iconic section in the Bisti taken late in the morning when the sun was moving in and out of the clouds.
(note: reposting with some edits as the version posted while on the road was over-processed in my opinion)
Over the Rainbow on Black (much better and easier to see)
I decided to make my first post back one of my favorites from our recent trip to Brazil. Iguazu Falls was a true highlight of the trip. I have many shots from the Falls to process, and no matter how many I post, they won't do this place justice. The vastness of this location, with the 275+ falls ranging from small streams to true mammoths, is just amazing.
I had never witnessed a Lunar Rainbow (Moonbow) before. While it was a little faint to the eye, you could still make it out pretty clearly, and the 30 second exposure helped to bring it out that much more. I decided not to over-process the shot and brighten and saturate things beyond the true scene. I'm not sure there was ever much risk, but I did enjoy the part about having to keep an eye out for jaguars when walking around the park at night.
I look forward to going through the numerous memory cards' worth of shots. We saw a lot of great sites in Brazil, but as is always the case, it's good to be back home. This was another trip that makes one reflect on how lucky we are here in the U.S.
I look forward to catching up with everyone's streams.
Thanks for looking!

Sydney harbour on a rainy morning, seen from North Head. A submission to Sliders Sunday, where over-processing is encouraged.
This was one of the longest sunsets that I've ever experienced. It was also one of the most colorful and surreal. No mater how much time I spend in nature, the capacity of nature to far surpass my prior experiences and my wildest expectations never ceases to amaze me.
On this night the sunset color lasted at least an hour after the sun set. Most people left for dinner, but I was shooting a time-lapse sequence, so I stayed until the color was gone. This was taken on December 13, after Badwater Basin flooded shortly after Thanksgiving. With a follow-up storm, the water remained until early January!
The water table in Badwater Basin can be very close to the surface. That's how these polygons form: salt-laden water rises up cracks in the salt via capillary action, until it dries and deposits its minerals at the surface. The polygons re-form after winter rains, when the water table again is shallow enough to send salt to the surface.
Sadly, many visitors both enjoyed the sight and completely disregarded its fragility. Where people were hiking out to this spot, the polygons were quickly trampled and destroyed, The hike to less damaged locations became longer and longer, until the unique and incredible geologic processes were only visible as traces, lines flush with the surrounding salt flats. It got particularly busy after Los Angeles area newspapers covered the event. In an early visit there were perhaps a dozen people at sunset, even fewer at sunrise. Later, in one panorama image, I counted 212 people, many clearly oblivious to what they were stepping on, and erasing. I'm happy for whatever part of it they did appreciate, if only the reflection, or the joy of running around and splashing in the shallow water. Perhaps they'll notice more next time, and be curious to understand and value the extraordinary nature of the place, and the processes that they're seeing.
I hope that we get more rain on Badwater Salt Flats soon. I hope to spend a lot more time out there next time around.
This is one of the first revisits I've made to my folder from this night, to re-adjust my results with the latest post-processing tools and with a fresh perspective. Post-processing is a process, not a destination, an endpoint. I should re-process the entire time-lapse.
In response to one of the earlier edits from this night I received the inevitable responses of "fake" and "over-processed". Personally, I'm surprised at how often I am experiencing a literally unbelievable moment in nature, one that tempts you to abandon the camera and try to soak it all in before it's gone. Some of these moments are entirely predictable, like seeing the shimmering corona of the sun during a total eclipse. Many people who experience this become addicted to the experience, pursue every possible eclipse that they can, worldwide, for the rest of their lives. Other times you're completely taken be surprise, and the sun rays that you hoped to see are are more intense than anticipated, or the quality and colors of a sunset exceed your ability to comprehend how such a sight is possible.
In these moments, I've gotten into the habit of stating out loud "No one is going to believe this,", partially to mark that moment in time in my own brain and memory when I seek to relive it in post-processing. It is important to ensure that I'm not tempted to dumb it down out of fear that some armchair quarterback on the Internet might not have enough experience in nature to know that such a place and moment existed, if only for a moment in time. This is especially critical during photography workshops, when an important part of my service to my clients must be to empower them to have the courage to resist the temptation to cave in to self-proclaimed experts on the Internet, who should calm down, grow up, and get out more.
There's a lot of life left to be experienced, for most of us, and it would be a shame if you never experienced something like this. Whenever you do, please don't destroy any rare geologic features that you're walking among.
Flannel flowers (Actinotus helianthi) in Manly Dam, deliberately over-processed for the Sliders Sunday group.
A submission to Sliders Sunday, where over-processing is encouraged. A shell I encountered on Fisherman's Beach (on Sydney's Northern Beaches) looks even more interesting as a UFO!
Was very surprised that I did well with this image at SPS PDI league R.4 - scored 18/20. I well over processed with texture to bring out the amazing strong colours!

Both panels of this image were from the same ZWO ASI178MC (OSC) capture.
I am trying to eliminate, or greatly reduce the gold highlights in the bottom panel of this image.
The top panel is the first raw frame of the of the video capture. The Bayer pattern is still intact, and the image is otherwise completely unprocessed. Zooming in on the upper limb, hints of the gold artifact are evident.
Every processing step seems to increase the gold color. It becomes more prevalent in the Autostakkert output TIF, and it becomes even more so after even moderate wavelet sharpening in Registax. A simple Auto Color treatment in Photoshop increases it even more.
The bottom panel is highly over-processed (debayered, stacked, wavelet sharpened, and saturation enhancement) to show more places that the gold highlights are hiding.
I can see these gold colored highlights around craters on the terminator in my first full disk lunar image off of this same camera a couple of days ago.

I cannot see them in a similarly processed image off of a Canon 60Da a couple of months ago.

I have also checked other's Mineral Moon images on Flickr, and I see some with similar artifacts and some without.
The photo in comments below is the same image straight out of camera (well to be exact converted from RAW) as the processed image above. To be honest the image below is the same shot I have taken many times before and in its un processed state it is nothing special in my opinion. I am still not comfortable with over processing an image, as i have done here I think, but I do like the end result and it makes me think once again about all the pros and cons of processing and mainly is it a good thing to do or not. I mean I really admire photographers who can take shots and have the image they envisaged straight out of camera but I rarely manage to do that and at least post process does give the option to 'salvage' something. There again is post process just a creative extension of a process (photography) that is naturally creative in the first place? At the end of the day if the person who takes the photo likes the end result does it matter how it is arrived at?
Finally this shot is taken within 5 minutes of the previous b+w image and whilst the previous shot has a very sombre winter feel to it I think this has a much warmer mood. I know the use of colour has a lot to do with it but once again the same location, same light is depicted very differently via process.
The last couple years I have heard Varied Thrush in the late part of the winter in the ravine near my place. As I was trying to hunt them down today, I spotted Crows; of course, Steller's Jays, Anna's Hummingbirds, Spotted Towhee and a flock of Dark-eyed Juncos.
I over processed this shot to remove the annoying branches, more than I like to do.

SPURN POINT sea defences...
Spurn is a narrow sand tidal island located off the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
It was a spit with a semi-permanent connection to the mainland, but a storm in 2013 made the road down to the end of Spurn impassable to vehicles at high tide.
The island is over 3 miles (5 kilometres) long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, and as little as 50 yards (46 m) wide in places.
The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and two disused lighthouses.
Over time, the whole spit, length intact, slips back – with the spit-head remaining on its glacial foundation.
This process has now been affected by the protection of the spit put in place during the Victorian era.
This protection halted the wash-over process and resulted in the spit being even more exposed due to the rest of the coast moving back 110 yards (100 m) since the 'protection' was constructed.
The now crumbling defences will not be replaced and the spit will continue to move westwards at a rate of 2.2 yards (2 m) per year, keeping pace with the coastal erosion further north.
or what is sadly left of it
We were there when it was still accessible!
After a job that took us around Hull, we decided to push through to Spurn-point.
Spurn is a very unique place in the British Islands.
It is a nature reserve.
Three and a half miles long and only fifty meters wide in places on the left side of the estuary of the river Humber.
There are a series of sea defence works built by the Victorians and maintained by the Ministry of defence, till they sold Spurn to the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust in the 1950s.
The defences are in a poor state, breaking down and crumbling, making Spurn a very fragile place wide open to the ravages of the North Sea.
It is a unique place, qua fauna and flora, very protected; there weren't many people on that Good Friday.
This is what is left of the sea defences on the North Sea side, eerie, tragic, but extremely photogenic...
The light was sweet.
Have A GREAT day and thank you for viewing, M, (*_*)

Didn't notice that these Hooded Mergansers were in danger until looking back at the photos. Accidentally flushed them, so they escaped the fox...this time. Over-processed a bit intentionally to reveal the hidden fox a little better.

Over processed? I think so. I did not have my best shooting night for fireworks at the Magic Kingdom in October. I tried a few new settings versus sticking with what I knew worked... but you have to try new things right?
What I do like in this shot is the explosions at the center of the green bursts.
A sunny afternoon in the Park
Intention was to get a picture of the Flower bed and Ledgislative building at a low angle - AND THEN - I got photo bombed. I think it actually turned out not to bad.

Over processed image of the battleship Massachusetts, in Battleship Cove, Fall River, Massachusetts. It is the results of many edits, and I'm not sure exactly how it came to this end, but I sort of like it. A "photo sausage" of kinds, if you will. Maybe I'll make a poster out of it... HSS!
... yes, the results...
Yet another randomish shot from Granville island a couple weeks ago. Extremely over-processed, but it's really my first time playing around with selective colour.
Large on black is by far the best.
Location: Laterns Nob Austria

Camera: Sigma DP1s pocket camera (20,7mm x 13,8mm sensor)

Filter: non
notes: increase structure in snow with color efex 4, b&w transformation and coloring of sky with silver efex 2.
This is what happens when I over-process a photo of some nice clouds and have the Titanic sail in them. The good news is that there are no icebergs in the sky. The bad is that clouds in the sky (even over-processed ones) don't support an ocean liner.
This is a difficult place to expose correctly in the morning. With about 3 to 4 stops of light difference between the sky and the mill, my goal was to balance it out so that it was as close to how it looked to the eye as possible, without looking too over processed. I usually come back to shots that I've processed after a day or two with fresh eyes and see something that I'd like to change... we'll see how this one goes.
