I just keep on experimenting... Both in-camera and in post-processing. In this one, I tried to change the contrasts separately in the sky and the lighthouse. Oddly enough, I think the result is almost a bit HDR-ish, and possibly a bit over-processed for my taste. But who knows, maybe I ought to give HDR a try next... :-)

Last night I went shooting with fellow Pittsburgher JP Diroll and while down on the Monongahela Wharf walk, we happened to catch probably the most epic sunset that I've ever seen in Pittsburgh. Now, you'll look at this and think this is over processed, but I swear that it looked very much like this in person - the sky just exploded with color for about 5 minutes, bathing everything around in that beautiful red glow; it was really surreal.

This sunset reminds me of a Bill McIntosh shot :)
No photos today outside...
So some fun and serious over processing and texturing...
And I thought I should add an extract from a wonderful old love letter... to really create some context...
The thing I love about old love letters, is that they always create an image or two... something kinda like a photograph of a moment in time...
Pretty suitable theme for a picture for "from my heart to my hands"...
Rupert Brooke’ Love Letter
“I have a thousand images of you in an hour; all different and all coming back to the same... And we love. And we've got the most amazing secrets and understandings. Noel, whom I love, who is so beautiful and wonderful. I think of you eating omlette on the ground. I think of you once against a sky line: and on the hill that Sunday morning.
And that night was wonderfullest of all. The light and the shadow and quietness and the rain and the wood. And you. You are so beautiful and wonderful that I daren't write to you... And kinder than God. Your arms and lips and hair and shoulders and voice - you.”
I've just been toying with over-processing some of my photos. This is from the 2014 California Mille.

Looking up from a boat from the canal in Birmingham, totally over processed but ... well I like it anyway!
In general I try to avoid over-processed images. In fact, I try to avoid post-processing altogether. However, to fit a self-portrait into the :black:yellow:white: group, a bit of post-processing was necessary. I decided to go somewhat overboard.
I feel like I am over processing my photos. It is addicting though-I love messing around in Elements and seeing what I can come up with. Maybe I'll start posting photos SOOC (or maybe just slight editing :)
unfortunatly had to really over process this shot to rescue it.... end result not brilliant but i can live with it... question is can you??
The Gefion Fountain. Strolling along the waterfront near Kastellet in the evening. Didn't notice the massive cloud bank at the time. Maybe a bit over processed, but I liked the slight HDR effect.
As I am totally overloaded at present I was not planning to visit the Students Summit in the Mansion House on Dawson Street but I ended in the area at five o’clock so I decided to pay a quick visit but I remained for the full event as all the presentations were very interesting.
My Sony NEX-7 is not really suitable for low-light conditions so the photographs may appear over-processed because I applied a lot of noise reduction.
The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) is the national representative body for third level students' in Ireland. Founded in 1959, USI now represents more than 354,000 students in over forty colleges across the island of Ireland. The goal of the USI is to work for rights of students and a fair and equal third level education system in Ireland. USI shares the view that by empowering their membership with business acumen they can help shape the future to be a better place for everyone. The Student Summit does exactly this. Students are the energetic life force to preserve and power the future of Ireland's economy.
OK, so I'm trying something different for Sliders Sunday. I do agree with Ray www.flickr.com/people/raymondpfg/ re. the distracting background in the original shot so rather than just soften it a bit, I went "all the way" and gave it a soft, glowy effect. Which is better?
Thanks everyone for your thumbs up, but since I'm not a big fan of over processed images (no, really) I still have a hard time liking the "glowy" one. I may just go back to re-shoot it, for my own sake.
Shot on iPhone 7 Plus.
Take an ordinary street photo and over process it with a vintage feel to get... ummmmmm.
A submission to Sliders Sunday, where over-processing is encouraged. A silver orb weaver spider in my garden, bcklit by a bright sun.
Goofing around at the dinner table. Over processed on purpose and submitted at the local fair and got 2nd place in the cellphone class. :)
Through the magic of over-processing, the skies over the Old Hokkaido Prefectural Building look very dark and gloomy in a picture taken originally in March of 2020.
One of my favourite beaches...
This is another HDR from 5 bracketed shots - this time shot hand-held. I know...it's over processed...but I still quite like it.
Many of my works - like this one - are produced entirely digitally. I sometimes re-use older works as art elements and also drawing objects - usually rectangles. These are combined together using Serif PagePlus X3.
Next I mesh warp the image and finally photographically over process the image with Paint Shop Pro.
I got this action for free a long time ago but I have no idea where it came from. I thought it would be fun to finally load it and give it a try. If you could see it up close you would know that it is so over processed and yucky...but from far away it's not too bad.
Art for Art’s sake? Or Art for People?...Or Art for YOURSELF only?
5 boring confessions….
1. I do not consider myself a photographer, but an artist of some sort. My intention was never to produce flawless high quality images maintaining all the rules, but just to express myself. And photography is a medium that I felt comfortable with, and also probably because I’m too lazy to paint or write.
2. Photography, to me, is not a distinct division of art, but rather a member of the larger art family. I personally like relating photographs to paintings. Art movements inspire me immensely; in particular, German Expressionism, Neo-objectivism/De Stijl, Art Nouveau, Russian Constructivism and the rest of International Avant-Garde movements.
3. If one goes through my stream, it is very easy for him/her to get confused as to what exactly this lady is up to. I know there is a lack of consistency, but I would rather not try categorizing myself or anyone else. Abstracts might be my favorite arena sometimes, but I also feel like doing geometrical compositions, street shots and have even tried landscapes (not with much success though). What is totally missing in my stream is probably flower shots and macros. I have a special weakness for alternative interpretations of reality. I am very much inspired by the minimalistic compositions of Aftab bhai, N A Y E E M ’s stories that are straight out of life, the Faith series of Arif bhai, the courageous social documentation of Shehzad Noorani and the dark street photography of Purple Wolf (account deleted).
4. My titles are usually very flat in nature and are not accompanied by any descriptions whatsoever. I would prefer ‘Wine Stains’ to ‘Memory Remains’, for example, although they might actually mean the same thing; just like Whistler called his mother’s portrait ‘Arrangement in Grey and Black’. I believe photos can be pure visual arts without having to have any kind of subject matter at all and vice versa. I do not like over-processing without reason, but do not mind radical post-processing if that helps the artist to get the message across.
5. I think every artist/photographer has the right to think of his/her artwork/photograph as his/her own personal space where he/she can express him/herself without any fear. One can be extremely partial, or completely neutral and it is expected of that we respect each other’s work even when some of it might falls outside some of our comfort zones.
Thank you for your patience.
A little fun with a not-so-great photo of blue chickory. Sometimes it is necessary to over process a photo to make something of it.
This is over-processed, but I didn't exaggerate as much as you might think. Crazy!
Original in comments:
I've always had a soft spot in my aesthetic heart for over-processed pictures.
This one is not *very* much processed -- just a little fill light (to brighten the dark trees); some white balance adjustment (to take some amber out of the foggy sky); and a little bit each of decreasing contrast and re-increasing it.
And, oh yeah: turning it a bit to make up for my own lack of plumb. And a line around it all.
That's not a whole lot of processing. :)
This is in a neighbourhood up the hill and around a corner from ours.
When I took this shot, I did so with the intention of turning it into black & white. But when I got home and started to play around with the image, I went away from my gut, and tried to keep it in color. After some failed and over processed attempts of this shot in color, I converted it back to black & white today. It feels good to know I was right when I took this shot, but I feel stupid for trying to turn it into something it was never intended to be.
Yesterday afternoon, I opted for some idle time. So, I played around with over-processing a photo. The reflection includes my hands and my camera, and also the screen of the computer on which I edit my photos. I happened to be viewing an Instagram screen.
Maybe a bit over-processed, but oh such fun!

A submission to Sliders Sunday, where over-processing is encouraged. A Native Iris (also known as Purple Flag) in Manly Dam.
Jawbone Canyon is a geographic feature in the Mojave Desert and a Bureau of Land Management area located in Kern County, California, 20 miles (32 km) north of Mojave on CA 14. The area is a popular destination for hikers and off road vehicle enthusiasts.
Europeans first settled in the canyon around 1860—naming it Jawbone because its shape resembled a mandible—and the trail was used as a trade route from Keyesville into the Piute Mountains (not to be confused with the Piute Mountains of the eastern Mojave Desert). During the Kern River gold rush, several gold mines operated in the canyon; the most successful of these, the St. John mine, yielded nearly $700,000 worth of gold between 1860 and 1875. The Gwynn mine, on the Geringer Grade, ran six claims yielding a total of $770,000 worth of gold and quartz before ceasing operations in 1942. Mining continued throughout the 1940s, mainly focused on rhyolite and antimony.

Note: These images were taken with the Samsung S22 Ultra, which I have since returned because I find the images over-processed, but I'm posting them as a review of that device, and because this was a new-to-me area.
Shot at the top of Stunt road. That is the
island of Catalina on the left. I think it's the
Channel islands on the right. Slightly over
processed image but I kinda like it. Made
a saturation mask to control clipping in the
blue channel.
This photograph already appears in my photostream but I was never happy with my original processing, feeling that it was starting to get that over-processed 'digital' look which I feel doesn't really sit well with my style of photography.
So, for this version I went back to the original, re-scanned and colour-balanced it and kept processing to a bare minimum (even leaving in elements that I had previously cloned out). I think it's a big improvement and better captures the feeling of the original scene.
