This shot was ever so difficult to edit. It was taken with 3 shots with varied exposures. I struggled to stop myself over processing this and although I'm not fully happy with it here it is anyway.

A timely reminder at the 100 milestone. No time? No inspiration? Feeling annoyed at being the only one parked in the work car park on a public holiday?

 

Simply shoot anything, over-process and move on.

I often, to the dismay of my fellow lens lovers, over process photos and I think at the bottom of it all is NIA [Nascantur In Admiratione]. The reproduction of reality often misses the mystery that lurks behind the ordinary. I can remember as a child traveling in a car with my parents and seeing lonely rocks on the side of the highway and thinking that these might be beings that had power and maybe even praying to them. The ancients knew this feeling and the henges in Brittany [ tinyurl.com/gwttfwe ] document this past. But these entities exist right here in Idaho.

This image is from the soft and subtle end of the spectrum, kind of the antithesis of the over-processed sunrise/sunset shot. Mountains are just visible at the bottom.

This complete re-work of my M31 data is now my second attempt at this object, focusing on Pixinsight for calibration, stacking, and processing.

 

The luminance and RGB data have been processed seperately before utilising Pixinsight's LRGB combination tool - the first time I have processed an image in this way.

 

This close up view of the Andromeda Galaxy has been processed over several weeks, and compared to the previous version, I have attempted to produce a sharper, less over processed and more natural looking galaxy.

 

Many thanks for looking.

Went on a antique hunt this afternoon with my girl friend. Came across this lady in a warehouse close to where I live, and I fell in love. To bad she was not for sale.

Perhaps it is a bit over processed or overcooked, would love to here your opinion.

I took this pic of the Starling through my kitchen window (which isn't too clean at the moment) and it really isn't good quality at all but I kind of like the result of over processing it,,,,, perhaps I have gone a little crazy LOL

thanks so much for your visits,,,,,

I'm not typically a fan of over-processed HDR images (when I use it, I try to be subtle and often blend back in much of the original image to keep it more true to reality), but in this case I sort of like the abstract cartoonish quality it gives this scene of the Hennepin Ave Bridge over the Mississippi River.

I over processed this image to the max, especially the background.

The spiral snail was virtually that colour to begin with!

I do like having fun with images like this, and you never know the outcome until you finish.

From a very underexposed, rainy evening RAF shot. Now over-processed and rather grainy. Not satisfied with the outcome, but still amazed what Lightroom can do with a botched photograph.

I was shooting these free-hand from the narrow, slippery Nass River bridge as I did not want to be caught on the bridge deck with my tripod set up and a logging truck coming. ;-(

Yesterday I was driving to work. And I was running late. But I still took time out of my already late ass to roll into a McDonalds.

 

No. Not to buy their nasty ass meals. But to just buy an iced coffee.

 

But I was coming up to the parking lot and saw the drive thru was filled with like 10 cars. I couldn’t help but think of the cattle resemblance of the cars lined up ready to buy mass made animal feed.

 

Fuck it.

 

I parked my car. Left it running. And told my kid to “Wait here babe”, as I ran in to the nasty food wannabe “restaurant” to get my lousy iced coffee.

 

But wait. I’m standing in line and looking around. What do I see? A lady with a mic running around bagging gross prepackaged microwaved nauseating food in a bag. A couple of people in the “back” microwaving nasty-patties and wrapping them up in a cheap ass wrapper just to throw down their “shoot” as to define it is “READY TO EAT!”

 

The orange juice came out of a machine. They just pressed a button with a recycled paper cup thrown underneath it. It released just enough juice for the paper cup to hold.

 

Everyone ran around like the world was ending. Run. Scurry. Fast. Go. Money money money!! Make the “food”. Throw it in a bag. Get it out the window. Move on to the next person.

 

Eat the cowfood. Divulge in the repugnance. Yum Yum Yum. Eat me. I’m a pre-packaged horrid over processed nastiness that has nothing to do with the cows, pigs, or chickens that I’m assuming at some point were killed for this madness.

 

Frozen, horrible, deep-fried, and vulgar. Fuck me in the ass you uneatable shit.

 

It all seemed so robotic. All those people running around. The person running the drivethru. The minimum wage person in the back running the microwave. The other person throwing shit in the deep fryer. The unseen person boxing up the nastiness. The other unseen person mass killing the a foreseen “animal” that originates from the disgusting shit we choose to put in our mouths.

 

Not my mouth. Too nauseating man.

 

Although that said, I’m not a McDonalds Nazi. Meaning I’ll treat my kid once or twice a month. In slight moderation the shit won’t kill you. I think I just psyched myself out to be disgusted by it all so I won’t eat it. Because in reality, most of it actually does TASTE good.

 

The shot at hand? Me being a total health hypocrite and putting a cigarette in my mouth in my bathroom. Then I proceeded to smoke it and take a self-portrait.

 

What’s worse? The crabby patty or the cancer stick?

 

The album below? A minimalist indie rock masterpiece. It’s catchy and cool and singable. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to bop their head and think about how rad life is.

Taken as a JPG and processed (over processed?) in Topaz Sharpen AI.

I might have over processed these but I wanted to try to see what I could pull out of these backlit images.

This is a great example of how I used to over-process my shots when I was starting out last summer.

 

Discovery Park is the largest park in the city of Seattle. Formely a military base that operated during WWII, it is now one of my favorite place to go for that 'out of town' feeling when I only have an evening or so. Miles and miles of trails run through the huge park.

At the north-western tip of the park sits an old lighthouse. I don't think it works anymore, but I've always wanted to capture it with a beautiful sunset behind. After spending the day canoeing around Lake Washington, I headed to Discovery Park, as the clouds and sky looked as if they might combine for a wonderful sunset. I hiked in about 1.5 miles, and got set up for this shot. I battled with an old chain link fence that runs around the lighthouse. I'm new to photoshop, or I would try to get rid of it somehow, but I haven't got those skills yet, so for now it stays....ugly and in the way. I really wanted these flowers in the foreground to compliment the wonderful colors the sky was radiating, but was having a hard time keeping them sharp as it was windy and this was a 2 second exposure. You will notice some flowers are sharper than others due to this.

One of the best sunsets I have witnessed over the Puget Sound in a while, and I'm so glad I was there to see and try to capture it. I hope you enjoy.

This is over processed but I like the end result.

But this is what I did to my photo back in 2008. A little too much over processing... Smile, ladies.

On a recent night-drive down to Southern Colorado, we were disappointed to find a layer of clouds all but blocking the best part of the view. Fortunately patience paid off just before twilight with this view showing a thin layer of clouds (illuminated from light pollution) in front of some pretty good Milky Way details. This composite image was taken below West Spanish Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado.

 

It's never too late to improve on a previous post... I liked the details on my last Milky Way shot but it felt a bit over processed. And so this comp came out for a little playing to see if I could get a better, more balanced result.

This photo became quite controversial one. I posted it on the one of the Facebook groups I am a member and people said that the skin looks very unfavourable, that I should do something about it. I am personally against over processing the pictures, I do not like the faces look like a doll. We all loosing sense of natural beauty and follow the trend of imaginal perfection which is not existing. What are your thoughts about it? Would you correct her skin on nose and around eye as I was suggested? Or should I rather follow my believes and keep it as it is now?

Yea, I know. This one is a bit over processed but I couldn't bring myself to delete it.

With A C.F.I. Schirmer-Nat 28mm. Slightly over-processed for my taste, but the RAW sky was tragically white and boring.

We went strawberry picking today and I think he ate more than he picked. :-) I tried not to over-process this one because I love the cheery lighting. It was gorgeous today.

I snapped this as the engine rolled by me. It is just awesome to watch these machines do their thing. I purposely over-processed this one a bit to bring out all the details that I could. I think it almost has a 3-D look to it.

Back in May I spent two days in Vienna running around like a headless chicken. I remember the evening when I made this picture. There was a really nice sky, and I was hurrying to find a good spot. All the nice spots were on the opposite side of the sunset. When I got to this courtyard I had to shoot it even though it was backlit and the building was completely dark. I remember the awesome sky over the buildings, and like all buildings in Vienna, this one was very pretty and nicely kept.

 

I took 7 shots to capture the full dynamic range. Unfortunately, even the brightest shot did not get good detail on the statue. Photomatix made a mess of the sky because the clouds had moved quite a bit between the first and last exposure. So, I replaced the sky with one from the original shots. It had good details, but the colors didn't match the Photomatix image. So, I blended the sky from the Photomatix shot again, but using the Color blending mode. So the sky has the tones from a clean shot, and the colors from Photomatix. I used Vertus Fluid Mask to do the sky cutout. This was my first try without even reading the manual, so the results are a bit rough.

 

Given that the fountain didn't look natural, I decided to over-process the whole image, and applied a 30% Nik Tonal Contrast, and high contrast using Pro Contrast and curves with a luminosity mask. I also put a slight graduated coffee filter on the sky to make the clouds more yellow, and burned the stones in the front.

 

I hope you like it. I had fun working on it. Nicer large.

Late Nov 2019... Oh I have been busy getting ready for the 2020 Storm Chasing season. New truck and new equipment to chase the storm.

 

2019 Year in Review is being completed I thought I would give you folks some storm chasing Eye Candy back from 2016 while we wait!

 

Moderate Risk Day in South Central Nebraska. Mid May and I was set and ready to roll. Equipment checked and charged. I was in for another phenomenal storm chase in my back yard of Nebraska!

 

Someday I will rework this set of images. I still have the originals in Raw format. I way over processed some of these images and they need to be redone. Coming Soon!

For week 33 of 52 weeks: 2021 edition, I still owed and Infra-red shot. As I do not have the equipment to do true IR, I let my editing be inspired by what I had seen around the net. The B&W IR that Lightroom offered, did not do it for me.

This is an old photo from last year, but i played with the saturation brush a little to really bring out the rainbow. I've been doing small modifications on some of my old favorites, since I've been slowly learning more about basic photo processing - though of course I don't want to over-process!

A little over processed this one by Michelle but its a nice shot. L to R Alana, Rachel, Janice and Michelle. Derby 17th May 2019.

First attempt at M45 Pleiades captured last night. Not too happy with my processing skills. Lots more to learn in Photoshop. It's my First attempt at taking subs that are longer than 30s, it's nice to have a Mount that has the Ooomph to give me longer captures! :)

I did manage 200s unguided with no star trails, but didn't want to tempt fate. so settled on 120s & 60s to attempt to bring out detail.

I know I've over processed this in areas so will have another go soon. Also for the astrophotographers out there who notice. Yes I think I misaligned my DSLR in the focuser tube, as some large stars difraction spikes lean left in the right hand side of the image.

Here is the photogenic Flamingo statue in the loop. It's always interesting to return to places that I've photographed before and see if I'm able to come up with unique compositions or ideas around the same structures. In this case, I pulled out the fisheye lens and got up close to a puddle to give a bit of a reflection off of the Flamingo. I think the curve of the fisheye really works well with the curves of this statue.

 

It's also interesting to go back and reflect on images i've created earlier in photographic career. After I have finally gotten over the cringe-worthy over-processing, I find solace in knowing that I have come a long way as a photographer. One day, I'll likely look at today's shot and think how awful it is (it's why I have a hard time printing any of my own photographs), but it's all part of maturing as a photographer and I'll always have room to improve my skills at photography.

We went for sunset, but didn't see the sun the whole time. Just some very ominous cloud. But that still works; adding drama to the scene.

I've really struggled to get these to look right. The white balance in particular. So at this point, I think they look a bit over-processed. I might have to look at some kind of Lightroom for landscapes tutorial(s), as I just seem to struggle with them every time.

Would be interested to get some feedback on these - Particularly if you have any processing suggestions. I can happily take criticism too.

It has been dark and rainy for a few days so I needed something bright this morning!! Over processed but I had fun playing with this one! Have a good day/evening and thanks for your visits,,,

Took the Langihryggur path - slightly over processed to get rid of haze..

This lovely tulip looked really boring when I first saw it so I think I might have over processed it to make it look better!

Reprocessed in PI look's a lot less over processed and the Colour Calibration is better.

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,

and darker days are drawing near,

the winter winds will be much colder,

now you're not here.

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky

and one by one they disappear

I wish that I was flying with them,

now you're not here

 

like the sun through the trees you came to love me

like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

 

through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

you always loved this time of year

loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

cos you're not here

cos you're not here

cos you're not here

 

Not sure but I think Autumn really did arrive today LOL :) Autumn leaves on the embankment by the River Trent :) Another of my artistic interpretations of Autumn :)

An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.

 

The final of my trio of tulips shot against the atmospheric skies in Skagit Valley's La Conner, Washington from my trip a while back.

 

I hope you will enjoy the photo - it took me a while to work on the processing - I didn't want it too look fake or over processed, and worked really hard to keep it as close as possible to my own view when I was there.

A heavily rescued/over-processed shot of mine of 7001/7028 at Hereford on the Hymek Swansong tour on 22 September 1973.

 

It could be argued that the term 'Swansong' was over played -

I wasn't travelling on the train, but later in the day got some haulage behind another Class 35, 7017 on a regular train from Worcester to Reading, while a handful of members of the class soldiered on until March 1975.

This weeks theme was inspired by the Slider Sunday flickr group (www.flickr.com/groups/1481688@N20/) which celebrates over processed images. Since I'm all about over processing my images this was right up my alley... Driving around downtown to find something fun to shoot I found an abandoned warehouse with this awesome canvas hanging off it.

I made liberal use of Nik and Topaz filters to turn the highly texturized original into a psuedo painting. I'll definitely upload some "normal" shots of this and the rest of the warehouse soon.

A submission to Sliders Sunday, where over-processing is encouraged. Curl Curl beach (Sydney) on a stormy day.

This was one of the most dramatic scenes I have witnessed lately.

 

We were in Lago di Garda (Garda lake), Italy, during a very sunny and hot day of the past August, when suddenly the weather changed completely, as some really strong winds started blowing and some really dark clouds started gathering.

 

I thought it was a good time to go near the lake for some photography and by the time I got near Desenzano del Garda at the very south end of the lake, I was facing an unbelievable scene: The north of the lake was completely covered by threatening dark blue-ish clouds (you could tell that at some parts it was raining heavily), while the water in the foreground had that familiar bright turquoise Garda color, as the sun was still penetrating the much lighter clouds over our south part of the lake. As if that was not enough, the sky seemed to be separated in two, as if an invisible line was separating the dark-blue far away clouds from the grey not-so-light-anymore ones above our heads.

 

Watching this from my car window as I was driving, I knew I had to stop quickly as such spectacular light shows never seem to last for long. Thankfully I found very soon a good stretch of beach with a good parking place and had the chance to shoot quite a few different shots with some strong waves crashing against the rocks, before the setting sun and fading light put an end to the show and my effort (not to mention that a few minutes after I packed my things, a hell of a rain started, which luckily didn't last for very long...)

 

This one is stitched from two different shots taken one right after the other. One is a long exposure of 30 secs to smooth out the water and the other one is a “normal” shot of 1 sec to capture the sky better as the LE was not long enough to give an interesting motion to the clouds, it just “managed” to blur their nice and contrasty shapes.

 

As a last note I must add that whenever I look at the photo now, it looks even to me very dramatic and maybe quite over-processed but I must assure you that it is very close to the actual scene and I’m really happy I was so lucky to be there, see it and capture it…
