Yet another Jamaican sunset. I don't think I could ever get tired of them.
This is a 6 exposure vertorama. 3 exposures for the bottom, 3 for the top. I think it's a bit overprocessed, but so are Jamaican sunsets.

OVERPROCESS
I reprocessed this a couple of months ago and I finally decided to post it.
Not the greatest composition or shot ever. It has a trippy look to it, but I remember the light was really great that day.

Day 92
9th November 2009
We drove back from Norfolk to Somerset today, it look 7 hours. Eek. We took in some castles and had a picnic in the cold on the way, which admittedly did contribute to the length of time it took us to get home!
The weather was very strange this morning but good rainbow weather. This shot is obviously very processed but I thought it could get away with it

I went for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday taking pictures of all the decaying pumpkins. They have so much personality when they rot.
One from the archive but I was playing about with HDR software for a bit of fun. I think this may be a little overprocessed ;-)
Here is another favorite of mine that's been completely reworked from scratch. I really loved the original and received a lot of positive feedback but this post coincided with when Nix software was made available for free and I went way overboard when first using it. I had mainly wanted it for the noise reduction and fine tuning but soon found all the various options and features were hard to resist playing around with.
In the last month or so, I've been trying hard to organize a batch of my best images to print for sale out here in Los Angeles and as a result, many that I shot and posted more than say 6 months ago suffer from noise and color issues, oversaturation, overprocessing and a loss of detail. Some of my very favorite and most memorable shots from the start of 2016 are now tough to look at...and I've begun the arduous process of re-doing many of them from the original raw file. it's been very frustrating, time consuming and annoying but at least I'm ending up with images that are significantly more accurate and detailed and photos I'd be comfortable trying to sell.
Like the previous post, this was shot on my extremely memorable first trip to Venice Beach. While the evening ended with that concentrated crimson sky and reflection, this is how the sunset began. The previous post was also facing a different direction as it was directly out to sea between Venice and Santa Monica. This is obviously facing Venice Pier though the starting location is basically the same...just turned to the left.
I gave some details about this first trip in yesterday's post and probably from many others posted from this day or Venice in general but this was my first chance to capture shoreline reflections and when I arrived to set up, this was what my eyes saw. I thought my timing was lucky--and it was since this sky was truly unbelievable from start to finish--but it didn't occur to me that the general conditions at Venice really encouraged reflections like this. Basically as long as it's not after or during a storm and the tide is reasonably low, I can count on a great reflection. The shoreline is long and very flat--especially compared to the other beaches I've shot--and it allowed me to lower the tripod and camera only a few inches off the ground and shoot within the reflection.
This was also the first time I realized that people don't really go to Venice Beach for sunsets. They stick to the pier and boardwalk but I couldn't believe how few people were around for such an amazing colorful evening. I probably saw less than a dozen total and all but 2 or 3 were only there for the transition to that crimson color. They hovered with cell phones in hand--and at least a few with wine glasses in the other--and then wandered off after a couple minutes. In the 2 dozen or so trips here, I have not actually seen another photographer. I know some stick to the area by the pier while others either head to Santa Monica but none from this spot by the lifeguard headquarters. While I think it's odd that this beach is always so empty, I can't complain. I love when the beach is empty like this and also prefer to keep the people walking in front of me to a minimum. The fewer moving parts the better.
I've seen and shot some amazing, unique places in the year + I've been here, but January 27th, 2016 will always remain very fresh in my memory. This was the day I officially became hooked on Southern California.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
Before you go and decide that this is way overprocessed for a photo, let me state the intent was not for realism, but to use the tools on my computer to create a new image based on the photo. This was processed in Lightroom and Google's Nik Collection to achieve the painted look.

A little bit carried away with Photoshop this morning:)
Probably a little over-processed for some...maybe even for me....but the colors are pretty if nothing else. Hope you have a great Sunday. HSS!
219/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "In the Distance":
I'm feeling very on the fence about this one. It's so different than what I normally do. And yes, I did my standard open aperture, big bokeh shot with some mystery about what was in the distance. But I thought I might should push myself to get out of my box occasionally. I was shooting at the worst time of day tho'...high noon...so I did some serious overprocessing. I wish there not houses in the frame, but, what can I say?...I live in the burbs and this is about as wide open spaces as it gets. lol.
If you squint you might be able to see an egret in the distance. :)
Rerunning for Slider's Sunday, since this is more sliding than I normally do! lol. HSS!

How many adults does it take to calm down one fussy baby? Apparently three and a half are too few. I took this on Monday as I was waiting to renew my driver license (and I was late by only three months, btw...my all time record was six, at which point I was almost arrested). This family was sitting next to me with one of the cutest and loudest babies I ever encountered. OF COURSE I took a picture! And then processed it to no end...all with an iPhone. HSS, guys!

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

Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.
Another drive-by Dunes shot. This shows just how huge these sandy lumps are-the little dot in the middle of hte picture is actually a couple of people trying to climb the thing.
As per usual I can't help but overprocess dunes shots-anything less never seems to do them justice!!!
I only had half a day in Barcelona and unfortunately could not stay until sunset. So I decided to make the best of the situation and use the early morning hours to capture this incredible view over the city.
The photograph was taken from the famous Bunkers del Carmel viewpoint, one of the most spectacular panoramas in Barcelona. The climb with a heavy photography backpack was definitely a bit exhausting, but the moment you reach the top and see the city stretching endlessly beneath you, every step feels worth it.
Rising almost surreal from the sea of buildings is the Sagrada Família. Even though the cathedral is located around 2 kilometers away from this viewpoint, it completely dominates the skyline of Barcelona.
What fascinated me most was seeing how close the Sagrada Família now is to completion. A few years ago, the skyline was still filled with cranes and visible construction work. Today, the cathedral already feels far more complete and even more monumental.
This image is definitely worth viewing in full resolution. The countless details throughout the city reveal just how capable the Tamron lens actually is — far better than many people might expect.
The photo itself was edited very carefully and intentionally not oversharpened. My goal was to preserve the natural atmosphere, the soft morning light, and the depth layering of the city instead of creating an artificial or overprocessed look.
For me, this remains one of the most impressive viewpoints Barcelona has to offer.

Tenby in South Wales features lots of these beautifully painted and highly colourful houses. Just not quite so saturated colours. Over processed for the 52 weeks in 2024 group
For the most part, Fujifilm lenses are very good at controlling flare. With that, I've taken to posting pics lately that have been processed in PS, whereby I've added some gratuitous lens flares to (seemingly) enhance the photo...
Part of the fun of photography for me is not only taking the photo, but processing it afterwards. Let me know in the comments below if you think this is too over-the-top!

A burst of color for a gloomy grey day. Good things are right around the corner. (Right? There has to be something good coming .... soon.... I hope!)
Happy Sliders Sunday Sunset!
Renewed life insistently arising from beneath last year's dead leaves. It happens every spring.
Addendum: Pangs of Conscience
In retrospect, this photo bothers me, because it looks overprocessed. Actually, I made a few adjustments of brightness, contrast and sharpness, and dimmed and blurred the background a little. In life, the flower really did jump out of the background this way.
(I also wished I'd named it Focus on Crocus.)
Believe it or not, this picture started as a variation of my old Flickr picture Summer Tree in the Snow. I processed it so much that it ceased to look like a tree and started looking like the outline of an eagle's head. I had a picture of an eagle sculpture, and layered it on to give the face some detail. Then I had to simplify it a lot to remove the vestiges of the tree branches. Perfect example of overprocessing.
As most of you may have noticed, my hdr processing has been rather mild for quite a few years already. Therefore if I happened to overprocess one, it will most probably be quite prominent :) This photo is 1 good example and has been processed a notch more than I normally do to make it look like a painting. Not that I remembered why I did it :P however I believe I must have been very inspired by all the artworks I have seen of Venice when I was there :D
