Karma the Cat with pansies I grew. This is a Polaroid SX-70 Manipulation, Impression, or Alteration. I took the original picture, but had to reach up under the bench and wiggle the pansy with one hand while taking the picture with the other. :0)

there was an interesting article yesterday by trey ratcliffe, a photographer whose work got me started with HDR a year ago, and who has had the honor of having the first HDR image displayed by the smithsonian institution, about his submission this year being disqualified because it was digitally enhanced.
i can understand having a separate category for digitally altered images -- those that change the original content of the picture.
my opinion on this is that digital photography is, by definition, digitally enhanced and that a pixel has a long journey from RAW file to JPG.
to start with, various makes of cameras create different types of RAW, and RAW is subsequently converted differently by varying types of software.
it's up to the photographer's discretion whether he/she wants the image straight out of the camera or tweaked here and there -- or processed greatly -- in order to convey thoughts, emotions, or even to more accurately convey what the human eye saw at the time, which is often way more than a camera can possibly grab.
there's nothing inherently superior or inferior to an image that's SOOC and it says little about the skill of the photographer.
color enhancement is not the same as color replacement or adding / subtracting elements to a picture -- and there certainly is a difference in requirements between photo journalism, and photo art / personal expression.
so someone will have to show me one digital image that was not effected by software.
additionally, i'd like to see one film image that was not a result of decisions in the darkroom by burning, dodging, by choice of paper, etc., etc., etc.
finally, what is more important -- what a piece of equipment sees -- or what the photographer wants to show?
more reading here, here and here.
the above image was taken by a canon 40D camera in RAW (CR2) format. i then decided to change the white balance to fluorescent (thus the blue tinge) and sharpened up the image with a filter. it's not SOOC. but it's exactly what i want it to be.
i'd appreciate your thoughts, especially if i haven't understood something, or just for fun.
finally, the image's title is because yesterday was earth day and because pale blue dot is prominent in my mind.

there was a lot of noise in this photo, as it was underexposed in the process of trying to hold the highlights, and restoring details enhanced noise, as well..
I used Photoshop to blur the background and, upon converting to LAB color mode, I used a technique outlined by Dan Margulis in his book on using the Lab Color mode in Photoshop CS2 to drive the colors to smoother cleaner richer extremes, then pull them back from the brink, creating dramatic rich colors.
LAB color isn't a photoshop exclusive, and it's Quite possible that other programs can pull this off easily.. all that was required was layers and curves, after converting to LAB color mode from RGB mode, to get these colors..
Here's a review of the book:

I like to take pictures mainly at night , sometimes during the day and in dull and fading light and I will sometimes display the time and date the picture was taken too.
I tend to take pictures of Light trails, Motorway traffic, Street lights, Buildings, Landscapes, Bokeh, Night bokeh and Hexagonal Night Bokeh in and around the North East of England.
All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.
I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.

This is a composite, and all three of these shots were taken on the same morning in the Corte Madera, CA marsh. The duck (two shots of the same duck) was photographed against a drab background, and those images would have simply been deleted if I hadn't come up with this colorful marsh setting to move them into.
Synchronized flying with Scott & Kai. No image manipulation of any kind involved. Just some precise timing with my camera's self-timer, a fisheye lens, and a gorillapod tripod. This was taken on Preacher's Rock near Gibson's Landing on the Sunshine Coast north of Vancouver, BC, Canada.

(BEST VIEWED LARGE)
Excavated from a strata composed entirely of compressed 19th/20th Century public service stationery request forms this exceptional multi-species fossil has proved an epiphany for Bureaucratoligists.
Dr. John Vaaler, interviewed in his Oslo office, commented: "This changes all our views concerning the life cycle of the binder clip. It had hitherto been assumed that the smaller paper clip was the youthful form of the mature binder clip. In fact, the savage scenario played out in this unique fossil reveals that the paper clip is an entirely seperate species that actually preys upon the binder.
It is apparent that the mature 'bulldog' binder clip was being attacked by a pack of hunting paperclips. In a similar fashion to the now famous Pom-PayDay site, where an entire civilization was buried by an eruption of payslips and timecards, it appears that a cataclysmic explosion of an overloaded photocopy tray overwhelmed the struggling combatants in an instantly lethal but ultimately preservative paperclastic flow.
Furthermore, the fossil demonstrates that the gallant Bulldog clip's last battle was not one-sided. To the right of the main conflict grouping can be seen the remains of one imprudent paper clip (designated "Clippy") that fell victim to the Bulldog's cornered wrath. Straightened in death its untwisted body bears witness to the immense power of the Bulldog's formidable jaws. One less Windows Office Assistant to plague the world!
Good Science will always bow to new facts, and we are more than happy to have our wings clipped in such a revelatory manner."

Um. This all seemed like a sane idea at the time.....think I'll file it with the rest of the truly bewildering ones. Now, where did I put that paperclip...?
Fun Facts With Paperclips! For the unenlightened, John Vaaler, a Norwegian, was one of many people variously credited with inventing the paperclip, in his case in the 1890s. Because the paperclip was (wrongly or rightly) attributed to his country it became a semi-covert symbol of national resistance against the Nazi occupation in World War II, when the little gizmo would be clipped to shirt collars and lapels as a show of solidarity. Who knew?
No wonder that MacGyver would later proudly use it to continue the fight against the forces of naughtiness!

Zoé Duchesne is a Canadian artist who has worked as a model on the international stage for the last 15 years. She has traveled the world representing the most prestigious brands, and now shares her time between Montreal and Paris.
In her late 20s, Duschesne’s love for the camera led her to acting. Before long, she recognized that aspiring actresses are treated much like models, relying on whoever wants to film them. She realized that creating was crucial to her development and so Poupée was born; a moving and crude character poetically embodying the artist’s emotional and psychological experiences.
Poupée is a broad self-portrait of short films and photographs. This standalone project can also be incorporated in live performance art. Borrowing elements from silent film, theatre of the grotesque and visual arts, the works in this series are a symbolic representation of humans’ existential crisis and inevitable loss of innocence. Together, these films and photographs constitute a powerful exhibit echoing phenomena from our consumerist society, such as the reign of image, body worship and hypersexualization. Intimate, witty and touching, Duchesne explores the anxiety stemming from these phenomena and tells of the inevitable path leading to her own rebirth.
A self-taught artist, Duchesne produces her work in a traditional manner. She does not use any artifices or image manipulation techniques typically found in the fashion photography world.

I couldn't help but be reminded of the 'drumbeats of war' we've been hearing for the past few years, and find an image with a hint of horror in it.
Photoshop was used to hold color and detail in this image with an originally wide brightness range. The zooming was done 'in camera'.

37/365 More image manipulation and tonnes of layers in photoshop. Creating these images broadens my imagination on images and gives me ideas for new photos and designs. It's amazing how much I can soak up after only a few hours tutorials, feeling excited about future creations with my confidence in the software growing every time I do something new.

Details and History
The Wikimedia Commons website offers a multitude of historical images with no restrictions on use. This James Zellner image from the 19th century shows a group overlooking the narrows, likely from summit hill. The NYPL indicates a nebulous date of 1859-1885 for this image, indicating dating is difficult. Bill Auld's survey of photographers of old Mauch Chunk reports Zellner was active from circa 1870 to the 1890s, limiting the earliest date significantly.

Image manipulations and animated gif generation done with StereoPhotoMaker, a freeware program by Masuji Suto & David Sykes.
A first for me..Samsung-Android-iOS digital mixed media photography art. Image from a magazine (may be a little grainy), taken and App'd by my Samsung Galaxy S3, blended with a scrapbooking paper image taken by my Olympus E-PM1. Should really call this Olympus-Samsung-Android-iOS perhaps?!
Anyway, blended image was then transferred to my iPad for tweaking in Iris Photo Suite (wish the developer would port Iris to Android!). Then transferred back to the Galaxy for sharing (wish the iPhone supported as many sharing links!).
Image Manipulation:
Another capture of the Snowy Owl that I uploaded a few days ago. This one I decided to do some image manipulation with. Beautiful Owl, fun to be around getting some photos! : )
The hand of Gid! As there is not a lot of room on my bureau I prop my keyboard up so that I can use my Wacom tablet and still reach the keys for quick shortcuts.
