Hi flickr! I'm back!
I don't know if it is because spring is here or because the creative juices have begun to flow again or maybe a combination of both, but I feel that I'm once again ready to commit to this photographic community. Anyway: for whatever it is worth I'll be posting and commenting again, but first a recap.
Recap:
Since late summer last year I have not actively been using my camera (except for some ordinary family shots). I think the obvious reason was that the 365-project became too overwhelming and time consuming. Also I had so many unedited RAW-files on my computer that it seemed almost pointless to continue. The feeling I had was that many, if not all, of the photographs I took where never good enough. The solution for a period was to do too much extensive processing. This ended in photos that where unnatural, overprocessed and sometimes downright ugly. I contemplated shutting down my flickr account for good.
The solution: start afresh
I have deleted all not so good photos and separated the shots with sentimental value from the really good shots. I have decided that to enjoy sharing my photography again it is the latter kind of shots that you will see here. Also I have done an extensive spring cleaning on my account. I have quit most of the groups, deleted some contacts and moved all my old shots into a collection of their own. I will now upload a lot less frequent than I did last year, but instead with more care to each upload. I'm guessing this will help and revamp my interest and joy in photography again.
About this shot:
This is a picture of my son after being forced to take a Sunday walk last autumn. Sometimes he thinks such walks are ok, but most times it is a combination of dragging and pushing the boy along. The expression on his face says it all!
Processing:
This was originally in colour, but somehow I needed a lot more contrast to bring out the face as I wanted it. Black and white seemed the perfect solution so I did a grayscale version in Lightroom, played a little with the exposure and contrast and a slight crop. Also I added a vignette, exported to Photoshop and overlayed (at 30% opacity) a Topaz Adjust Clarity-filter to enhance hair and face just a little more.

Grumpy Cat (whose proper name is Tardar Sauce) has become something of an internet sensation. Grumpy Cat is a she, although is often mistaken for a he. Could I resist making a Quernus version? Nope :)
Not sure what he has to be grumpy about really...
