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

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.

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.

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 >.<

Please note that all comments with graphics and no criticism will be deleted (graphics with criticism is okay).
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!
Here we have wide field view of the compact blue dwarf galaxy NGC 5253, and its epic central starburst. It is something like a smaller, but slightly closer version of M82. Though NGC 5253 is less famous than M82 I still find it to be quite interesting—visually stunning, even. An image I submitted yesterday shows a very high resolution close-up of the core: flic.kr/p/WMcktQ
While this galaxy has been previously processed, I thought it would be better if some older narrowband WFPC2 were used to show off its H-alpha emissions, which are now seen clearly here as a bright pink cloud emanating from around the central area of the galaxy. I tried not to overprocess these clouds, but some might say I have. Still, others may say I didn't take it far enough, because it certainly could be pushed even further.
In the upper right and lower left corners are blank areas. I did not want to crop large sections of the galaxy and background off, so I filled these blank areas with a simple noise pattern so that they would not be distracting. H-alpha coverage is incomplete, but close enough that it does not appear to be missing much.
Data from the following two proposals was used. I used mosaics from the LEGUS page, as well as the mosaics from the HLA because some parts of the chip gaps in the LEGUS mosaics did not look very good.

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.

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

Before I get back to posting my usual bug photos, seeing it's that time of year, I thought I'd go and try something really silly :P
I'd always wanted to try that milkyway photo thing, so I did a bit of googling to find out how and off I went.
I set this camera up to do a star trail session (haven't done one since you had to leave the shutter open for 2 hours instead of a stack of 30 second shots thrown into a program lol).
While taking a few test shots, I happened to fluke this shot of a meteorite or something burning up on entry.
Probably overprocessed too... but I know less about this stuff than waterfalls (which isn't a lot :P)
Taken about 30kms East of Burra, South Australia.
Press L on your keyboard for the full experience!
This past summer I would try to catch the sunrise before heading into work. This was back from May, I posted a similar one back then but once again I felt it was overprocessed, so I decided to post this one.
Just looking at the photograph reminds me how peaceful it is watching the sunrise over the Lake!

large version shows the detail a little better. still trying to cut through the haze in these shots without overprocessing them.
I like that my MLK Jr. poster is hanging out right above me. And so, what better than an MLK Jr. quote?
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."
- MLK Jr., 1963

I love how everyone likes a photo I hate. Hahaha, figures.
This was my attempt at candid on the train in India. The girl was reading and the light from the window was highlighting the side of her face beautifully. But, of course, she noticed me the very last second. It is official by now, I am the worst candid photographer ever. Also the light turned out to be too low for the point & shoot camera to handle (Leica has an awesome f/2.0 lens, but a small sensor is still a drag). You can see the original SOOC shot in the comments - looks like a perfect Sliders Sunday candidate, right? So here is the result. HSS, guys!
I know it is overprocessed and overcoloured but I liked it like this like a fairy tale experiment. (HDR from two shots taken without tripod)
GM27, some 51 years old, leads T363, S302 and 44204. Together they haul the "Kelso Flyer" freight train, 1877, through Hartley Vale.
Despite GM27's age and withdrawal back in March 1994, the old loco continues to power on. Seen here having a rare chance and possibly one of the last chances of leading a train, especially 1877!
Hartley Vale, NSW.

This is a slightly different take on the similar shots below. I fired the flash to accentuate the boulder in the foreground and saturated the color to get the "golden effect" that I wanted. It may be slightly overprocessed but I like the drama and intensity created by the juxtapositon of the boulder and the menacing sky. Processed with Photoshop CS4 and Dynamic Photo HDR 4 Software.

A Summers morning down by the river at Kirkby Lonsdale. Images are intentionally overprocessed to give a HDR feel to them
I took my previous posted image of this house overlooking a lilly pond, and played with it until every color seemed rich and saturated. My intention is a striking image, and by pushing the limits of overprocessing I'm trying to achieve that. Believe it or not this is actually a toned down version of what I would have done in past years...so maybe theres hope.
