I usually do not overdo post processing, or do any at all. I created this on accident. I changed it to black and white originally and was adjusting the colors. I was not too happy with the bw treatment and was just going to move on to the next shot. I change it back from bw to color and this crazy picture was what emerged.
This is a picture of a mansion that made into a private college in the city of Tampa. It has minarets on the top of the building and stands out against the modern skyline of Tampa.

Classic overprocessing cliche, and I do not know how I did this but it sure does look good cliche. HCS everyone!
*It made it to Explore also! :-) Thanks everybody. Highest so far #78.*
I tried to process and develop my photos lifelike, realistic, and faithful.
But it seems that I get most most likes for the stuff that is seriously overprocessed, unreal, distorted, and unearthly.
So, alright, if that is what you want, from this day you will get it. Don’t blame me.
This is the first one, back to overdrive and overprocessing.
The days are starting to get longer, so a drive through the park on the way home from work is more inviting.
This capture with an iPhone was originally underexposed, but I liked the composition (YMMV). Started to play with it in Elements - tried a few different things to get to this point.

Winter sun. Going out shooting in the shortest day period in mid winter, it's either sunrise or sunset as these pretty much collide or overlap (maybe not the right words). That is if the sun decides to brake through the clouds. I really love the creamy thick colors the winter sun casts on everything and of course photos may look vibrant and even overcolored in this light. Normally I try not to overprocess but just to correct what comes out of camera to my vision of the scene. But of course, since I have all the © rights it can be tempting to help the natural colors a little bit ;-)
I'd say this shot is maybe 5% more vivid than my eyes remember the scene. But maybe 35% from what came out of the camera.
Spotted this in passing and (after a ten minute wait in pouring rain for traffic to allow me to get out to the middle of the intersection) .. could not resist the MUCH IMPROVED new street crossing lights installed in the city. (lol)
... a bit 'overprocessed' for colors but I could have brought out the pouring rain a bit .. just a quick drive by snap .. Fall is a 'quick' season.
The doomed sacrificial celebrants marched to their end in the dark tunnels beyond...
Originally titled "The Castle Hall", this version is perhaps overprocessed, but I like the effect. Looks more like HDR but it's a single shot from a 10 megapixel camera, upscaled, sharpened, and with a lot of "local contrast" added.
I do this kind of treatment on a number of shots which many think are HDR but which are actually single exposures -- often shot dark to preserve highlights.
Two flaws of much HDR I've seen are excessive "halos" and an unreasonably bright black level. I try not to have that in my shots but the local contrast filters can really cause haloing problems on dark to light transition areas. Then it requires "brush work" to fix -- it's a labor of love in post processing. Probably more time than it's worth sometimes, but I like to do it.
These old CCD cameras had a lot of noise by today's standards even at base ISO, so it limits somewhat what you can do for noise control in shadow lifts for shots like this. New tools mean I can mess with it more, lol.
Pink Floyd
That inspired me to start my photography. I figured if i can capture what i see, i will always have that part of what made me...me.
This photo is waaay off the beaten path for me. I look at this as a painting with my lens. Hopefully some rich person with a bunch of money will too! LOL
Anyways, I will be just as pleased if you enjoy =D

66597 brings a Freightliner container train through Camden Road under a nastily overprocessed sky.

This is one of two howitzer field guns flanking the War memorial we discovered on a walking tour of the oldest cemetery in Regina. They were captured from the German Army in World War I. The monument in the center of the memorial was donated by the Imperial War Graves Commission.
Original was first processed in the iPhone App Snapseed then in PRISMA with some further "Slidding" in Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0.
Used PRISMA - Style: Red Head filter - first for a Painterly effect - then slide for HSS.

Heavy Frost.
It turns out we got a pretty cold winter, it's now several weeks more or less freezing. The snow is gone, but the lakes have thick ice now. This allows persepectives that are impossible normally, you can just walk into the lake. Nice. Unfortunately the paths are slippery, I managed to fall on my buttock on my way back, but luckily I had my camera packed already, when that happened.
I realitze the last few rounds of photos were a little heavy handed and overprocessed. Here I tried a more subtle rendering which maybe suits the subject better? I don't know. Decisions, decisions ... I try to get out again to one of the lakes at the weekend. Usually at the weekend under such conditions everything is pretty crowded and not so nice and quiet as it looks like here, when I was almost on my own.
I LOVE FIGS. I love to eat them, to look at them , to draw them and to photograph them.I REALLY overprocessed this one and , although not cricket, I suppose, I DO like the effect!
Do you think these wind turbines could have been any smaller? Yep. Just see another version in the comments. I managed to take a few fairly pitiful shots from the car window as we were driving to Yosemite. We didn't have time to venture off the highway and get anywhere closer to the turbines, but hoped to do so on the way back. Never happened. But at least I still have these. They are on the crappy side, but perfect for Sliders Sunday - any overprocessing can only improve them, not destroy.
The original image and another "tiny wind turbines" version are below the fold. HSS, everyone!
This started out as a shot of our black-eyed susans that I took the other day...the camera was cold from the AC in the house and it was the first shot....and the lens was fogged up because it was so hot outside so there was no way to salvage it. So I did a bunch of stuff to it and got this...hope you like it. HSS!
. . . This slightly over processed view of the Rapid River was suggested to me by my cell phone (Android) the other day! The original image is posted along with this one, so that you can see what my phone decided to do all on it's own! Brings to mind a historical quote from the inventor of the Morse Code in 1844: "What hath God wrought"?
Have a great week Facebook and Flickr friends!
A Summers morning down by the river at Kirkby Lonsdale. Images are intentionally overprocessed to give a HDR feel to them
Colorful leasers at Randolph Ave
(Rejected by RailPictures.net as "overprocessed"-which it wasn't.)
Most night shots are illuminated by flash; mine are painted with a spot light so one might have the impression that the color and exposure are due to processing but it's not. This is a 2 minute exposure "painted" with a spot light. The clouds moved a lot in 2 minutes giving it an artificial look.

One of the many goat pictures I took in Ethiopia a while ago. Goats are everywhere in Addis Ababa...main streets, side streets, restaurant table, your hotel room. No, this last one is not true. When I first saw them from the distance, I thought they are a pack of stray dogs. So here - shamelessly overprocessed for Sliders Sunday with the original in the comments. HSS, everyone!

Be warned - Objects in mirror are closer than they appear - or so they say.
This capture with an iPhone was originally a little "dirty" (Dirty glass and mirror didn't help the quality of the image) but I liked the composition (YMMV).
Legislature buildings through my rear view mirror. I used some texture to even out the playing field - something I haven't done for awile and then did some sliding in the Mid Tones.

ما شاء الله تبارك الرØمن
for some unknown reason i like this over-exposed, over-processed photo..!!
Some shots taken before the Aliwan parade started. The participants were waiting under a shade and I milled around and had to haggle for position since there were tons of photographers doing their thing as well. Photo is overprocessed; just experimenting—have no fear.

Another picture I found on an SD card I lost years ago, recently rediscovered. Thought I'd have some fun processing a few.

It was my first day at University today. Oh yes. I was nervous indeed. It was ok though, except for the fact that I was so nervous last night that I ended up falling asleep at 3 AM (got up at 7:30 today)...so yeah, I'm off to bed. Ok ok...maybe I'll just watch an episode of FRIENDS first. Ok, maybe two, but that's it, I'm telling you.
PS: Overprocessing can be A LOT of fun. You should all try it. haha.
Here is another shot of Niagara falls. I am working on a bunch of images and the cleaning/masking is taking me some time so decided to post this easy one . It was a dull, overcast, cloudy sky so this Blue Hr shot looks monotonously Blue. I wish I had a bit more luck with the light & sky but wasn't meant to be.
I kind of like the mist that looks in this and the water flow better than the SOC version so decided to use this as the main picture but does have the overprocessed feel to this. Let me know what you think of it.

Whats' next ..... Alien Invasion?
Don't worry it's just a little
over-processing for the
Flickr Sliders Sunday group.
But it is a real image of
our closest neighbour
the tide master!!!!!
Ha' Ha' ..... Love & Peace

It's still Sunday somewhere, right? So HSS! (Finally found a place for my wildly overprocessed stuff to live :)
So we were at the coast for a holiday. I'm neurotic about bushfire (having grown up in Canberra ) and he's neurotic about tsunamis (having grown up in earthquake prone NZ). I told him that as we drowned in the tsunami, we'd be able to comfort ourselves that it would be putting out the bushfire.
For me not tulips are the sensation of spring but the young beech leaves.
Besides, this is not a very common view: less than 1% of palatinate forest trees are firs.
Boring technical note: two phone shots in RAW, portrait orientation, stitched.
I tried this insanely novel thing called "Not Overprocessing the Crap Out of My Photos". It looks pretty nice.
Beer had at the Waverly Brewing Co. in Baltimore.
It's time for another photowalk...this time we're bailing on downtown Phoenix and hitting up downtown Tempe, the Mill Avenue Bridges, the Light Rail and Tempe Town Lake! A gorgeous place to shoot, I'm really hoping we get some clouds at sunset because that can be pretty spectacular. I took the photos in this post on December 29th, 2009. Both back in my overprocessing HDR days, but they hold some fond memories for me. I mean, I just left the house to go shoot that night, it had been planned a week before, and when I arrived at this little parking lot for the photo above, the sky was already changing colors and I rushed to capture one of the more amazing sunsets I've ever seen here. Just a great night.
SOooo...here are the details of the walk:
Downtown Tempe Photowalk
When: June 10th, 2011
Time: 6:45pm until whenever
Where: I'm choosing this parking lot on the north side of the lake because of the great views of the city it offers looking south. Then we can walk over the bridges and shoot in Tempe. This MAY change, so make sure to email me or call me to verify. Map of the location.
Cost: Nothing...maybe food, coffee, whatever.
What to Bring: The camera gear you want...tripods, backpacks, maybe some bottled water or a snack.
