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.

If it is not immediately clear, this guy is riding a bicycle rickshaw. The contrast between the poor driver pedaling with all his might and completely relaxed pose and mood of his passenger was just too much! Unfortunately I was taking this from a moving car's window (and with an iPhone too!), and was too close to them to fit the whole thing into a frame...thus the blur and only a hint of a driver. But I still like how the passenger guy turned out...you can tell he is enjoying himself.
I bumped up saturation here and also processed with another iPhone app which added this '"scratchy" look. And then another one for the texture. And yet another one for the border. Lots of phone "sliding". HSS, everyone!
A Summers morning down by the river at Kirkby Lonsdale. Images are intentionally overprocessed to give a HDR feel to them
not so sure about this direction, but I'll throw it our there.
FYI: if you look at any word long enough, it looks wrong. I had to ask the H how to spell Saturday. ~~~HPPS!
This is Cascais in Portugal, a popular getaway destination among Lisboetas. Portugal is at times very beautiful! This was one of those times.
The title is because this was a horribly shaky handheld HDR. The exposures aren't even close to each other really. You can see artifacts from the shakiness all over the picture. Despite this I couldn't resist sharing this gorgeous location with all y'all. :-)
I know, I went a little nuts with the color, but this is a museum of modern art after all and "little nuts" should not surprise anyone...it may be even expected. So here.

OK.. It took a lot of courage to do this selfie, its something i'm not comfortable with. took some shots but they didn't seem 'whimsical' enough. i hope this selfie makes the cut. :)

Went to the city yesterday with James and a couple of his friends, so I have some stuff to upload. Yay. This is one, I usually don't overprocess my pictures, but I just HAD to do something about this fountain one. :]
Many thanks to Red Zena, who convinced me that HDR has a place beyond strangely overprocessed & stylized results.
Surprisingly, this was a very difficult capture due to the extreme range of light. It's a blend of three images using Photomatix. The original images were exposed using a circular polarizer to enhance the blue sky. Neat Image was used to reduce noise although there was very little. Finally, DXO Optics Pro was used to reduce severe keystoning. Yeah and you thought this was just a snapshot, right?

This started as a shot of the ceiling of one of the buildings at Topkapi Palace (I don't remember which one it was)...I enhanced the colors a bit and then distorted it a bunch. Hope you have a great Sunday. HSS
I know, I know. There is a lot of grain and is a bit overprocessed. But. It was an accident and for some reason I like it a lot. It reminds me of a picture that used to be in my parents' corridor. On the picture there was the profile of a beautiful black woman and the inscription said: "Say it loud, black and proud!". Why we had this picture on the wall is still a mystery (think communism, Eastern Europe). Note to self: ask parents when next time I will be at home.

Not had much time to get out and take photos recently so thought I would go through some more old stuff and play around with it. It's a crazy brash city so decided it was ok to produce a brash image of it. Won't be to everybody's taste I know but I quite like it!
Looks best large and on black so press `L` on your keyboard to see it that way...

Used Prisma: Burger filter - all in the iPhone. First for a Painterly effect - then used only a bit of a slide for HSS in IrfanView.

An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
While visiting Scotland during a recent trip with three fellow photographers, I was fortunate enough to be able to capture a moody sunset from the top of Arthur's Seat, the main peak of grass-covered hills that form Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. The climb to the peak was steep and exhausting, but the view from the top of the 822ft hill made it worth the effort, with Edinburgh Castle rising above the city and flanked by the spires of St Giles' and St Mary's Cathedrals. Rain, cloud and haze had covered the city throughout the afternoon and early evening, but shortly before sunset the sun appeared from behind the clouds, covering the northern half of the city with a soft glow and carving an outline along the hills on the horizon. It was one of those moments that can't be predicted, and the kind that's a true joy to photograph.
This image is a combination of eight exposures which were combined in Photoshop using luminosity masks along with a Pen Tool selection to isolate and brighten Salisbury Crags, the hill in the immediate foreground. I tried to apply my brighter exposures with the intention of emphasising detail in the cityscape, but not so much as to lose the ambience of the scene, which was the aspect that delighted me most. With this in mind, I kept the final image slightly underexposed, focusing instead on the warm tones along the hills and the glow that was bathing the city in light.
I felt that only minor changes were required when colour-grading the image. The palette was predominantly made of warmer tones, and I tried not to veer too far from this, using only a Selective Colour adjustment to increase the red and magenta tones in the sky, and a Hue/Saturation adjustment to remove some of the cyan and green casts in the city buildings. My main aim when editing was to strike a balance between preserving the hazy finish in the distance and adding clarity and tonal contrast to the hilltop and buildings in the foreground. I wanted to convey the soft and dreamy atmosphere over the city that evening, but at the same time I wanted the image to remain true to the view from the hilltop (and hopefully to avoid a finish that could seem unnatural or overprocessed). I used Nik plugins to gently increase the tonal contrast, applying the Detail Extractor filter in Colour Efex Pro to emphasise Edinburgh Castle at the centre of the frame, and the Low Key filter to soften the exposure and contrast to the left of the frame, with the intention of guiding viewers' eyes towards the hilltop in the foreground at the same time as the light on the horizon and the highest points across the city.
The final result hopefully encapsulates Edinburgh's architecture and natural beauty, and perhaps also the fleeting Scottish weather that can make photographing its scenery both unpredictable and riveting.

SLIDER SATURDAY 10/52
There are times that I find extensive post processing evokes a very different feel or mood from an image and sometimes I like the result.
Being more of a purist with photography, I seldom post these overprocessed images but I decided for 2012, I would post those images on what I have termed "Slider Saturday". These will be images that I have extensively moved the sliders in post processing.
A little Fractalius Fun
Arp 278 is a pair of interacting spiral galaxies in the constellation Pegasus. This image is a small clip from a large image and is overprocessed to bring out some details in the galaxies. You can see several areas of bright knots of star formation throughout both galaxies. The pair are listed in the NGC catalog as NGC7253 and NGC7253A.

Pass this courtyard every now and then - decided that I needed to capture it. Passed the file through a number of different Apps for this final effect.

I couldn't sleep n SL was down so I dug around in my HD, pulled this out n over processed the feck out of it >.<

Caught this "Semi" as we were passing it. Not often I get to be the passenger in the back seat, so to relieve boredom I got the cell phone out and "played".
Used Prisma: Breakfast filter - all in the iPhone. First for a Painterly effect - then used only a bit of a slide for HSS in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Fairly recent show. Overprocessed to the max, why not? Yes, just because you can, it does mean you should. Overprocess this, that is.
Too overprocessed? Probably, but occasionally I think that's ok. At least that's what I tell myself (;
Thanks for looking, and have a great day!
No, 'X' is not the model, it's for eXtreme (abuse, i.e. overprocessing) - it wouldn't be me if I don't do it to at least one of the shots.
BTW, the model is, I think, a 1949 sedan Special Deluxe (any connoisseurs to confirm or correct?)
And I promise not to do this to the rest of the images from the 'session' (which lasted 30 seconds on a very cold December day). I'll keep them natural and realistic - soon to come :)
Update: 1951 Savoy Deluxe Sedan - according to @dr.electro (see below)
This weeks theme was inspired by the Slider Sunday flickr group (www.flickr.com/groups/1481688@N20/) which celebrates over processed images. Since I'm all about over processing my images this was right up my alley... Driving around downtown to find something fun to shoot I found an abandoned warehouse with this awesome canvas hanging off it.
I made liberal use of Nik and Topaz filters to turn the highly texturized original into a psuedo painting. I'll definitely upload some "normal" shots of this and the rest of the warehouse soon.

Sliding was all done in PhotoScape X (free version) - just discovered the new version and had to try it out.

Interesting NB subject.....I have neglected it....and it shows here.
Wrong camera orientation,etc
Only 8x180 seconds ( x3 channels)
Ha as R
OIII as G
Just seems to look better this way to me.
Not enough subs to kill the sky noise...so its overprocessed +++
Interestingly an airplane track (right side) must have included a flashing light, as alignment had to be (carefully) redone by hand,excluding it.
Should have used Sigma stacking in DSS
A good subject to redo (properly) next year :)
I'd definitely love feedback on my processing of this one. Sometimes I struggle to not overprocess images (I seem to know just enough photoshop to be able to destroy my photos... or maybe it's weak material to start with). My goal was to keep it natural looking, though I wonder if it looks a bit flat or maybe a bit dark. I think it's true to the scene, and any attempts to lighten the shadows without blowing out the sky left it looking a bit fake and overprocessed, so I left it a little dark. Anybody who's interested in giving feedback though, I'd love a critique.
Funny thing... I got up at 5 AM 5 days in a row to check the sky, and drove out here 4 of those days (3 of which required climbing out of a nice warm sleeping bag into the 35 degree morning air). After taking dozens of shots on multiple mornings... now that I've reviewed them after the fact... I like this one best, and it was the first shot on the first day. I guess it works out like that sometimes.
