Urgh. What a day. Ten degrees, wind, dark and torrential rain that has not relented all day. Not ideal photography weather. Add a tricky day at work, where you couldn't hear your telephone conversations because of the rain lashing against the windows, and it leave much inspiration for a shot.
In such circumstances I go back to what I know best. Usually this means the Gelt, but I wasn't going out far in the rain and besides, it will be an absolutely raging torrent right now. So I relied on the two other things I turn to if all else fails. The overprocessed self portrait and negative space. I've used these in the past so commonly, during last years 52 challenge I parodied it in the picture in the comments.
It never fails. Well, it might, but it didn't fail at ticking off another day.
This time next week I'll be in Languedoc in southern France and will kid myself that summer isn't over for a while.
....Everything I need is right here by my side
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.
After the "overprocessed" image posted yesterday, I decided to post a shot with only minor contrast correction. I took it with a compact Canon Powershot S90 during my lunch time, the sun was high in the sky and created some light/shadow place in this vicolo (narrow street).
If you miss my HDR picrures, don't worry...I think that tomorrow I will re-switch the "HDR-mode" on ;)

And say Goodbye to 2017 and Hello to 2018.
For Sliders Sunday. This isn't exactly overprocessed (processing info below), but I think it qualifies for Sliders Sunday anyway, because today, on New Year's Eve, we all are going to have "a big slide". Into 2018 ;-) It's what we wish each other in Germany in the week between Christmas and New Year: "einen guten Rutsch" = "have a good slide". And if you like, you can add "ins neue Jahr" = "into the New Year" ;-)
Taken on a boat trip last Christmas (2016). We were just leaving Vienna and had this wonderful sunset. There is a tiny airplane in the image, too ;-) (please press "Z"). And yes, I know the bird is tiny, too, but I hope it's big enough for 7DWF "Fauna".
Processing: Nik's Viveza and Color Efex Pro (filters used: Graduated Neutral Density, Graduated Filters [Orange, with reduced opacity], Skylight Filter); ON1 Photo RAW 2018: ON1 Develop, Local Adjustments "Darken" (the silhouettes), Detail and HDR (the sky); reduced noise both in ON1 and in Nik's DFine.
So, guys, HSS, everyone, and have a "good slide into 2018" and a very Happy New Year ;-)
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.
A group of well-dressed women crossing a treacherous suspension bridge in Bukittinggi. My typical trekking wardrobe does not photograph nearly as nicely...
The photo is not crisp, and it's overprocessed, but I liked the contrast of the colors enough to make it one of my favorites from this trip.
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.

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
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you're not here
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year
loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cos you're not here
cos you're not here
cos you're not here
Not sure but I think Autumn really did arrive today LOL :) Autumn leaves on the embankment by the River Trent :) Another of my artistic interpretations of Autumn :)
Listen to the song here :)
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.
Sliders Sunday group entry.
Over processed, by accident;
Although, I quite like it!

No, not my age, unfortunately. :))) Thousands of views. I know, still just a flickr baby compared to most of you all! All the smaller milestones slid right by me before I could say so, so I've been watching out for this one!
Picture taken by Vince long ago.
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. :]

For Slider's Sunday I am putting in an overprocessed HDR of this abandoned, but once well loved, tractor.
It was sitting in the weeds behind a fallen down barn, looking a bit forlorn.
So, here it is! I put this one up for Sliders Sunday because my husband thought it was totally cool! lol =)
So Happy Sliders Sunday everyone! HSS!
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...
So obviously I lied about stopping my experiments with textures and processing (overprocessing?). While I do realize that these images aren't "photography" in it's purest sense, I really like some of the images I've created, this one in particular.
I'm always curious to see what you out there think. What works, what doesn't, so keep the comments coming. Thanks for looking and sharing.
Special thanks to JoesSistah's for the textures, they're beautiful.
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.
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
A mix of spruce and larch and a bit of mist thrown in for good measure. I did quite a bit of work on this but wanted it to still look natural and not overprocessed.
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.

I might have overprocessed this one - the data was so nice. Bortle 2 skies make for easy processing.
