Quality on this one isn't all that great, but that's what I get for being in a bar at 10 till midnight and realizing that I don't have a shot for the day. :)

Flickr Group Roulette - Silly Saturday

8x900 seconds Ha (binned)

Lots of minor issues here...over processed on some levels.Bad lower detail due to gradient..

(? moisture on CCD )

Overall I am thrilled to see the 12" mirror finally performing as it should.

(Parracor corrector is in.)

Laser collimation seemed to work well this time with no tweaking...

Moon is out +++

Tried a new trick by using ATW to "nuke" the image leaving just a "synthetic flat"..

I think it worked well...up to a point.

(EDIT: ditched it...too harsh)

Here is a lovely tricolor by Rusty Mayhew

Darn kitten is already crazy for the computer screen,chasing the "mouse" and the cursor...

Biting (and disconnecting) USB cables...

But I am in love...we are going to make a great astro team :)

I don't know why it's so hard for me to photograph the moon. It's big, it's bright, it's slow .... it ought to be easy.

I read a couple of articles with tips on photographing the moon. I looked at some other moon photos on Flickr to check the camera settings. I did manual focus and took several shots with slightly different focal points. I used a tripod and my 300mm lens. I was careful not to over-process or over-sharpen the image.

Still, it kind of sucks. But, it was around 10:30 at night and this was the only thing I shot for this day, so it will have to do for the 365 effort. If anyone has any moon photography tips, I'm all ears.

These skeins display some of the colors that are said to be obtainable from traditional Andean dyestuffs. I'm not convinced about the orange in the bottom row, but I might have over-processed the image. Near Cusco, Peru.

Think green.

Over processed Sunday fun.

If this fit into a type of photograph it would be "crappy phone pictures with over processed garbage filters"

My two youngest who when back lit by a strong August sun decided for reasons only known to themselves, to scowl like this. They didn't talk to each other they just did it at the same time. The shots I took of them smiling were ok, but just ok, this shot, over processed I know, I like....what do you think?

I feel like I've been finding my own style lately, something a bit more simplistic. I've been staying away from over processing and textures, not a conscious decision but it just feels right. I feel like the images I choose to process are not ever going to be the most popular and I am fine with that. I am less concerned with what the masses think nowadays and am happy knowing that I am putting out images that I'm pleased with.

I've found that I enjoy photography more when it is simple. Coming into the Spring and Summer I was tangled up in strobes and lighting and think I was over complicating my images. I'm not going to say that I don't enjoy a great strobist type image but feel like I've proven to myself that I can make it happen when necessary. I just think it was becoming too much work and it took some of the joy out of it.

I also haven't felt the need to explain each image or write a small novel with every post. I would rather post my image and let you interpret it how you wish. I guess you can expect more of that for a while until I find the need to say something. I do read and appreciate each and every comment and any criticism you have. As with everything, I suppose I am going through a phase in my photography and rather then trying to please you, I am trying to please myself.

I've been wanting to put together a book of my photos for a while and I finally feel like I'm getting to the point where the images I am taking the time to process and post are the type of images I would include. Take this shot for example, one of the best images I feel like I've taken, ever. May not be the most popular, may not follow the rules of photography or be all that interesting to most but to me it's special, it's perfect. I think if I stay the course I'll have enough shots in the bag by the end of the year to finally put that book together. In the end that is what I think it should be all about, a personal journey.

Anyhow, when it comes to the path, Holly and I were 4000 feet up Mount Mansfield in Vermont and had to stay on the path in order to preserve the fragile plant life on the mountain.

Yea,i know ive been too heavy handed on those sliders,but hey,thought i'd put it on my page

Heavily (over) processed Hubble Space Telescope image of the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula (M16).

W&DPS Summer School

HDR with Photomatrix - I'm not a fan of over-processed HDR, but this was one way of capturing both the dark inside of the boathouse and the River Lee through the open door.

Springfield Marina, River Lee, East London, UK

This BMW is probably over-processed. HDR from 3 hand held shots, organized and edited in Lightroom, tonemapped in dynamic photo HDR, edited in photoshop with Nik Color Effects Pro 3.0 and fractalius used as a background Matte.

HDR Photo of Pelican Plunge on Castaway Cay, Disney's Private Island in the Bahamas. HDR set of 10 images - Hugely over processed (by design) in Photomatix Pro

Goofing off now... HDR + Orton... overprocessed to the nth degree.

'Over-processed' On Black

I feel much joy today.

This is the real me - a little off center, no make-up, my one disappearing, squinty eye, frizzy, over-processed hair, big old cheese-ass grin & you know what? I really, truly love who I am.

Fuck anyone else who says anything different. I'm awesome and happy to be me.

:)

HDR'd and then over processed. I love it!

Much better. A touch over-processed but actually a little interesting. There is still a touch of the HDR process border that I will clean up at some point but otherwise not too bad.

Cone and Fox-fur nebula in Halpha. Perhaps over-processed (a little ringing on the bright stars) and stretched a bit too much (a bit more noise that I'd like), but I wanted to see the faint stuff. This definitely needs more exposure time and subexposure time, but the clouds were frequently interrupting longer subexposures. Decided many shorter exposures were the way to go, letting me weed out the bad frames.

Bolts on bridge, plus over-processing to try and make them even a little bit interesting.

Over processed, over saturated, and Over contrasted. And centered up! ha

Now then, yes i know its over processed but i couldn't resist the wide range of colours this single photo has!

Comments & Favourites Appreciated.

Thanks & Enjoy,

i see you!

camerawhoring & editing instead of doing homework? sounds like a day in the life of jocelyn hsu.

oh! i'm wearing the gray cardigan prisca bought me for christmas (: another tick for her for being in my 365!

In my design/photographic journey... I am constantly creating images... and imagery. Two different things.

I love the look of the warm late afternoon sunlight on these tree trunks... the way it absolutely pops the texture of the bark. And the seasonal bare branches against a brilliant blue November sky. But straight out of camera, it didn't feel at all like what I saw in front of me. I suppose that has more to do with my ability to capture 'in-camera' than anything else. But I though there might be something in there... I just had to find it.

So, into Photoshop and all kinds of minor to major pushing and shoving and over-doing and blending modes and a lot of 'what if...' and at the end of that session... I just saved and closed the file. Enough of that. =)

Some days have passed, and I looked at this with fresh eyes... and the first thing I thought was, 'Wow... that feels like late afternoon sun on a crisp late autumn day... screen printed!'

Great photo? Hardly. 'Pure photography'? Of course not. An experiment? Absolutely. Appeals to all? Nothing does. Part of the learning curve? No doubt. Worthwhile? Everything is! Just sayin'...

Photo? Art? Whatever it is... it's bigger on black.

Over-Dramatic? Definitely...

Over-Processed? Maybe...

I am just playing with new techniques I am teaching myself in Photoshop Elements 8. I am tired of just basic touch-ups and am now trying to learn serious photo editing skills.

This was from earlier this year when I got stuck out in California for a few months. I didn't post many pictures during that time, but I shot tons. I have recently gone into my archives and am practicing editing on them.

This might be over-processed... but please keep in mind, I'm just learning. Any thoughts, tips, or constructive criticisms are welcome.

It's a little over-processed in this photo (she used both a blowdryer AND a curling iron), but she actually did a fabulous job

Over processed fun ;)

Dhobi ghat, near otteri

May seem over processed, or high in contrast.. It was very intentional, to get the image I had thought of in my head. :)

I've made this shot a little grungy and dark to make the candles and lighting stand out, not sure if I've over processed this image though.

I know these are edited with a heavy hand, I don’t usually let myself get that wild with post processing but I have been more or less out of it for days now with another series of cluster headaches/migraines. Just oscillating between the two with bouts of nausea between. Just being able to do a slow bumble around our block was more than I’ve been able to manage for too many days in a row. I’m feeling cagey and exhausted. I am just going to enjoy how over processed these are and not nit pick myself too much. Half of the enjoyment of taking photos for me is creative post processing anyway!

driver introductions for the feature at a modified race at Cottage Grove Speedway ... over processed as usual ... just how I like it ...

An overprocessed version of this photo.

Element a440 in front of Chase Field. A friend on Flickr, Wendy, who has developed a nice online program for processing photos used to call it Over Processing Technique (OPT). This is OPT, but nothing like hers. She still used the term OPT, but not in the context of over processing.

This weeks theme is No Evil. People often judge others by appearance. One look at these guys (and gal) and some I know see evil. However, sit and chat with them and there is No Evil. You cannot judge a book by its cover (a vintage saying - oh that was last week).

So, this is yet another shot from my first roll of film ever. Other than some vague over processing on some shots, I think this came out quite well.

Indoors a small Gothic church at Kylemore Abbey. HDR image. (Over processed image)

Strobist info - 420 off silver umbrella camera right, sigma 500 through small soft box camera left pointed at background. Alot of editing to get this overporcessed look. Not necessarily something I would do everyday but every so often its fun.

Low tide from Greenwich, a few hundred yards from Cutty Sark. Processed this one within an inch of it's life to enhance the god-lights. Less and and less people are liking over processed pics these days, I understand that. It's not stopping me though :-0 Enjoy.

hello eye. sad smile. (and my hair looks ginger but it's really not, so don't go saying "oh i love your hair" because its just over processed. yeah.)

Heavily (over) processed New Horizons false color image of Pluto from a few days ago, arranged as a grid of squashed Plutos.

i'm not normally one for doing a whole lot of processing with my photos, so to push myself outside of my comfort zone, today, i played with all sorts of fun Lightroom presets - this one is the famous 300 v.1 + WOW's HSL-Sunset_02 for the pinky look.

the sculpture is by edwin westergren and stands strangely on a hill out in the countryside near hyllingeriis, denmark. the picture was taken around 11 a.m. this morning, so the light is actually daylight.

i'm rather digging on the pink snow, but i can tell you that i'm not a processing convert, as much as fun as it was to experiment.

This is the magnificent panorama which awaits visitors who climb the ruined heights of Scarborough Castle, a former medieval fortress built into the sheer rock of cliffsides overlooking the North Sea. The ancient walls, founded in the 1130s, have changed hands many times and seen a great deal of conflict throughout their life - from medieval sieges during the first English Civil War to naval bombardment with explosive shells by the Germans in the First World War. The sights up here are truly breathtaking...I'd love to see a sunrise from this perspective!

The image itself has been rendered in HDR (I tried not to over-process it) and is composed from fifteen photographs in total. I also created a very high resolution image from this angle which is made up of around 30 photos stitched together! I'll upload it to Flickr in due course if the file size permits ;-)

I think this is a much better medium for processing her eyes. They still look brilliant, but no one would be the wiser if they were over processed or not. Except for you guys of course. :p

Strobist: Nude flash to light backdrop.

Reflector umbrella camera right.

Nude Flash camera left boucing off of white wall.

This tiny daisy is the size of dime/sixpence. I didn't see the cute little bug in it until I uploaded the photograph and messed around with tones/shadows/sharpening etc. I know it's over-processed, but I couldn't resist posting it anyway. UPDATE: This photograph made 'Explore' on - May 10th, 2009, highest position 417

Errrrr, not sure, may have overprocessed it. I liked the original with the long exposure, makes the waves look cool.

Press L, it looks better.
