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.
So I've been doing a TON of spring cleaning while I've had time alone at home (Max is on tour...boo) before Eisley leaves on tour..
All the rigorous cleaning got me thinking about women in the 50's and how they always had to look, act and basically BE perfect because that's how society made them out to think they needed to be a lot of the time.
Our house was built in 1927 but I love the 50's (favorite era as far as fashion and design go) and I'm "old fashioned" and believe there's nothing wrong in the LEAST with being a stay-at-home, full time mom, housewife (hardest job next to coal mining probably! haha) but it doesn't mean you can't be a fun, inspired, passionate and creative person...My mom's the perfect example!
Now I, personally, absolutely love cleaning and organizing my home.
It's my pride and joy. My own personal space that I'm constantly changing as I find new things that inspire me. It brings me such happiness (and since we're not renting it, and it's mind and Max's home, I can do whatever the heck I want, and I do).
The laundry room, however, as you can see is one room that is never clean, but it's a laundry room, so who cares.
All this to say I can't really relate to feeling like the character in these photos, but they were fun to take :)
Also, it is only inspired by the 50's that is why there are iphone's and other items
that aren't vintage :)
Original was first "Slid" in PhotoScape, Cropped to tighten in on the locks and then threw image into FotoSketcher to add some more texture to the image - this version used Cartoon setting.

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)
Very forgetful at the moment, got to this spot and realised I'd left my tripod in the car. Walked to the car and back to get it and then realised I'd forgotten my remote shutter release AGAIN!! Duh! Came up with ingenious MacGyver style solution of bungee cording a small stone to my shutter button with my head torch!
60 x 30 second exposures, f5.6, 400 ISO. Fairly heavily Lightroomed to get rid of noise and make the stars clearer, then stacked with StarStax. The car trails were way to bright stacked so I masked them out in GIMP and replaced them with a single frame.
One of those "not quite what I had in mind, but fairly pleased with it" kind of shots!
Happy Sliders Sunday! :)

A follow up to Processing
It is important to nail the shot to begin with. If the composition is done poorly or if WB or exposure is way off then there is no level of processing that can save it. Processing is meant to further improve the quality of the image. For example, in the previous post you probably didn't notice a lot of difference from the original sooc from RAW and the processed one. I was pretty happy with the original but I wanted a little boost so that’s what I did, some minor contrast and sharpness adjustments and I was done. I shoot RAW too and that is simply part of my workflow. Sometimes, I will do JPG SOOC but I very rarely do it any more. However, something can be said about overprocessing. I prefer photographing and spending adequate time in the computer. If it's for learning there's nothing wrong with that but I think every time you find yourself spending hours and hours in the computer and less time in photography then I think some re-thinking is needed. The black and white conversion is totally a different topic and I’ll save that for another day of discussion.
I'll be catching up again, sorry I have no time to view/comment/fave and I still have not completed my photography assignment. Darn!

An old image (not sure when from cos I'm pretty sure the date setting on the camera I took it on was wrong). Overprocessed (as is usual for most of my car images)
While chasing 962, we encountered cloudy weather along the Shag Point coast but in patches there was a shimmering quality to the light that came and went as we waited.
The broadside shot I took here came out flat but I liked the odd light on this overprocessed tele shot with Shaggers in the background.

week.28 : My very first HDR is of a well-maintained and operational barn near Walworth, NY.
Took three exposures (-2,N,+2) handheld, and merged using Photomatix (without overprocessing it).

You may notice that the focal length on this shot is pretty high. Obviously not my standard telephoto lens. While shooting along the lakeshore last week, I had met another photographer with a really big lens. We had a great discussion about photography and equipment. He had invited me to try out his lens. Wow! what a difference. I may have overprocessed this a bit...oh well. My new acquaintance is also a Flikr member. Check out his photostream www.flickr.com/photos/27950469@N06/. Thanks Bill!
I took a lot of pictures of Arrochar in the rain, and not many of them came out well. But I was watching a video of someone taking pictures in Iceland, where it rained a lot, and looking at how they processed their photos and thought to try revisit some of these. In the video they overprocess their digital shots in a way that isn't to my tastes, but it did make me think that in these kind of conditions perhaps I do need to try pushing the photo around a bit more than I'm usually comfortable doing to get something that isn't just drab and dull as it appears out of camera. In the video its interesting to compare the photo he has vs the video footage of when he took it - they're quite different.
This one is a little soft due to the f/5.6 aperture, but otherwise has come out okay. The lighting is a little un-natural, which not that happy with, but it saves it being too muddy if I don't bring up the shadows. But I do like the scene in the photo of Arraochar, with the hill overlooking it and the loch before it.
WEEK 35 – Toys “R” Us Closing, Columbia, SC (I)
As compared to the first photo of today’s set, where I increased the color saturation to make the letters pop, in this one you can see the old BRU sign a little more naturally. It’s always tough in situations like this, because the colors do appear more, well, colorful in person than they often come out in pictures; but unfortunately, trying to edit the pictures to make them more colorful usually just makes them look overprocessed instead. :/

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
HDR from 3 single shots. Postprocessing in Photomatix and Photoshop.
I know it's a bit overprocessed, but I wanted to show the magic of this place!

Another one from the archives but it brought back memories of a quiet mind and toes full of sand.....
It's a better
I've got loads of selfies, I even admit I really like making them, even though that may sound a bit like I'm a narcist - maybe I am, a little bit.
Truth is, I was really sick for 2 days and didn't want to photograph my watery eyes - which is no excuse because actually I don't always care how I look on a picture - even made photos in the past when I was ill, and because I believe in "what you see, is what you get", no vanity for me, but "give me real, don't give me fake" (Coldplay - Politik).
So I took a snapshot of my earring instead and overprocessed it to make it feel like I'm sick again.
If you want to know how I look like in real life :-) : me myself I
A happy 2019 full of challenges !
overprocessing is fun fun fun
i probably made poses like this 150 times today - my arms are SO sore now
...a few outtakes in comments
okay enough spam for today
Not typically my style either... but I thought I'd upload something from yesterday- this one being from the Seattle airport waiting for my next flight.
Processed first as an HDR from 3 bracketed exposures, and then overprocessed with my heavy glaze action and a load of other tweaks.

Two exposure vertorama of another beautiful Jamaican sunset. I think I'm just about done with the Jamaican pictures, although I like this one a bit better. I feel like I overprocessed one or two of the others and this is a bit better. This is what it actually looked like standing on the beach. My wife and I have made a pact to get down to the Caribbean at least once a year. It's too easy and there are too many good deals from Philly not to.
ENG: View on of the beautiful canals of Groningen with in the centre behind the "Der Aa- church. With a group of photo friends from the Randstad we visited Groningen to make some photos of the city centre. The photo below was shot on 8 november 17:36. With of few friends of the group we were waiting till blue hour appeared. This is a period of twilight each morning and evening when the sun is below the horizon and the remaining, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue color. You see the reflection of blue colors on the roof and the windows. This is not caused by overprocessing. The light was just beautiful and there were no distracting lighttrails or any flares, so a single photo and a basic postprocessing was enough to create this photo.
NL: Uitzicht op de mooie grachten van Groningen met in het midden achter de " Der Aa- kerk . Met een groep fotovrienden uit de Randstad hebben wij de Groningen binnenstad bekeken en gefotografeerd. De onderstaande foto werd geschoten op 8 november 17:36 . Met van enkele vrienden van de groep, we hebben op dit punt gewacht tot het mooiste licht en contrast in het blauwe uur verscheen . Het blauwe uur is een periode van schemering in de ochtend en avond als de zon onder de horizon verdwijnt en de resterende, indirect zonlicht een overwegend blauwe kleur geeft. Je ziet de reflectie van blauwe kleuren op het dak en de ramen. Deze kleur wordt niet veroorzaakt door overprocessing. Het licht was gewoon mooi en er waren geen afleidende lichtstrepen of flares , zodat een enkele foto en een simpele basisbewerking was genoeg om deze foto te creëren

Some information about the church (wikipedia):
Der Aa-kerk (nl:A-kerk) is a church from the Middle Ages in the centre of Groningen, Netherlands.
Originally there was a chapel situated on the site of the current church. This chapel was devoted to Mary and to Saint Nicholas, the patron of the bargees who cast off the vessels at the Westerhaven (Westerharber).
In 1247, the chapel became the parish church and was named Onze Lieve Vrouwe ter Aa (Our Lady at the Aa) - Aa being the nearby river. Groningen had two centers at the time. One of them was around the chapel. Here lived the fishermen and the traders. Between 1425 and 1465, the chapel was changed into a brick church with a transept. Images of the Siege of Groningen in 1672 show Der Aa-kerk without the top of the tower. After the war a new wooden tower top was built.
On 23 April 1710, the tower spontaneously collapsed killing two people. In 1711, a new tower was built.
Processing this one was right at the limit of my photoshop / dpp skills. I knew exactly what I wanted out of the shot, but even with 3 different exposures to work with, blending them together by hand to get something acceptable was hard work!
Nipped out last night due to some pretty excellent thunderheads coming down the coast and headed to the windmill since I knew the crops were at a pretty good height.
The sun behaved itself and dropped below the clouds in the last 10 minutes before sunset, and I tried to use the windmill to block out as much of the dynamic range. Even then, with a 2 stop reverse grad to hold it back even more, getting a shot which captured what it looked light to my eyes (with glowing wheat and heavy clouds) was a nightmare - avoiding the picture looking overprocessed is really hard and I'm not sure I've fully succeeded.
Anyway, I'm posting it regardless, as it's the first time I've been out in a while!

I am a person that had no artistic ability at all throughout grades school, high school and college. I still can't draw a stick figure correctly. But I feel at home behind the camera and like to take my images, as Dani www.flickr.com/photos/dd-photography/ recently pointed out in a touching testimonial she wrote for me, a step further than most.

Thanks to Pareé for the texture!
During the month of April, I'm taking an online photography class, taught by Tracey Clark from Shutter Sisters. Tracey's going to journey into the zen side of photography, the attention to the moment, finding inspiration in the everyday. It's my favorite form of relaxation, this photography thing, and my view of all of this is very in sync with Tracey's. I'm excited to see where she pushes me to go.
For our lesson today - "We often seek out bright and boastful colors this time of year (we've been fighting the doldrums of winter after all) but spring can also bring the soft, muted tones to soothe our senses and calm our souls. Colored Easter eggs and spring dresses are among a number of places we see and can appreciate another kind of color: the pastel pallet.
Note: Pastels don't just include pinks and blues. Consider all the tones of soft white there are: ecru, eggshell, crème. Consider these as you seek out the soft colors of spring. "
This was actually really hard for me. My color preferences are more vivid, high contrast, some soft light in photoshop. Muted tones, while I absolutely love the look, are just not how I see the world. To wit - I have not one, but two chocolate brown walls in my house. My couch is sort of cranberry/orangish. And the accent pillows on my patio furniture are the same cranberry red. My counters are a pale beige but the backsplash is chocolate marble. And the rest of the walls are muted as well - high contrast in my house. All of my artwork is framed in black against those walls. Not to bore you with the mudane - my headline is this - we all have our preferences, including how we like to see color, color groupings and edges. I like to look at soft colors, but I am most comfortable producing brighter colors in my photography. As a side note, this feels very overprocessed to me - texture upon action upon action, but I finally like the look. Muted = fake? I don't know. But the chocolates certainly are yummy!
I had to redo this image, too much overprocessing destroyed it! I came around the corner, and just as I lifted my camera he looked in my direction. He was waiting for somebody to open the door for him.
I am aware that bad shots may be salvaged somehow. I keep them despite not liking them. I may not know what I am going to do with it but I keep them just in case in the future I see something in them I did not see before.
I am aware that there is controversy if an overprocessed photo is still a photo. I don't really care. It is a form of art either way. My taste in "images" is all over the map whether it be Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) or "processed" into an artistic blob. If I like it, I like it.
I am aware this photo was shot in 2007 and forgotton about until April 28, 2011. It was shot because I live on a residential street near an intersection where drivers were aware that the speed limit was 25 mph but decided to ignore it.. People drove through it at 45 mph or more ignoring the consequences of their actions. Once a month there would be an accident where two cars collided and on some occasions they would take out 4 or 5 parked cars with them.
I am aware of miracles. A little girl riding her bike one day crossed this intersection and was hit by a car. The driver, phone in hand, driving around 40 mph, got a view of a little girl and her bike flying up over her hood and into the windshield, smashing it in. The girl survived with cuts and bruises. We got our Stop sign in two weeks.
I am aware, I may not always show it but I am aware.
