This is an abstract to reming me of wall papering on Easter Monday. The recipient of this was my daughter. The result was fantastic. This is an overprocessed view of it :)
Taken with my iPhone. Processed initially with the phone's Camera Bag application's Lomo filter. Then further tweaked by my computer's ACDSee software. I wasn't satisfied with this shot until I had over-processed it into the realm of the abstract!
...this is what i imagine it looks like
Remarkably enough, Abby stood still long enough for me to fire off three frames without any movement. Score!!!
I realize that for some this image may seem overprocessed -- that's a valid criticism, particularly since people have a wide range of opinions about HDR (including that it's "cheating"). Since I focused quite a bit on the composition and framing, even if you don't like the processing I would still love some critique/comments on the framing and comp. Thanks!

I was not in the mood to shoot today. I was, however, in the mood to overprocess an image.........
I got this door wreath for a buck some time ago, I tore it all apart and wrapped it around my neck. I shot with it and then tried to remove it and these little bally things got all tangled up and I couldn't get it off, and I had a mini panic attack, and ripped it off and ruined it......haha, oh well it was only a buck.
Original was first processed in the iPhone App PRISMA then some further "Slidding" in Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 with some Cropping.
Used PRISMA - Style: Aviator filter - all in the iPhone. First for a Painterly effect - then slide for HSS.

An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
I was testing the front-facing iPhone camera and realized that the only person in front of this camera is me. I don't know why I was surprised. The camera is really low resolution and is not meant for photos. I am not sure if I am going to use it for anything, really. Slightly accusing look is due to the general dislike of being photographed. Of course, in this case no one was forcing me, so I have no idea whom I am mad at. Also it is the morning after New Year's celebration and I need an aspirin!
Anyhow...I thought over-processed selfies of questionable quality are cliche enough...so are New Year resolutions!. HCS and Happy 2011, you guys!
One more is in the comments. Oh, and I saw Cliche Saturday Scavenger Hunt categories only after I took this shot. I think I'll add it to "out of your comfort zone" thread. Because selfies are definitely NOT my comfort zone.
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.
this is random, and bad
just wanted to show you my ankh tattoo. if only it were real.
And say that I'm shooting a roll of film this weekend! woo hoo!
i like cornfields.
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.
Time for a break from my usual-No hair flipping, dumb guys flailing in the air, overprocessed HDRs and silhouettes (don't worry, its all coming). Just a nice simple mountain shot. Not sure which peaks these are. Just some I snagged while driving down to Wolf Creek CO last winter. Think they were on the southern edge of the Sangre De Cristos... any guesses?
Shooting note, not positive, but I think this was another shot taken from out the moonroof as I drove by. Who has the time to acually STOP to do anything? Seriously.

The debate between get it right in the camera and I can just fix it in post processing. I have purest friends who believe photographs should be a representation of what you saw with your eye and only minimal adjustments are acceptable, and I have friends who believe the image is not one in front of the eye but in ones mind. I believe that you should get as much right in the camera as possible but we all should have the "creative license" to make it our Art. Where do you stand? Today was a day that it rained all day, I didn't have any ideas for my self portrait. I took a few shots at a place I knew I could keep the camera dry and still be outside. Below is the SOOC shot which I didn't like much at all. As you can see today was one of those days I leaned on the post processing to hopefully save the shot.
Todays challenge on dailyshoot.com was "Stairs and ramps lead the eye and take us places. Make a photo of a stair or ramp that you see today."
Didnt have much time to get shots today so took a couple of shots of the stairs by the lightrail stop as I walked past it tonight, wasnt a great shot so tried to give it a dark moody feel with processing to save it, not sure I did but its all I got for todays challenge
There are some in the world
that can love a black pearl
or find comfort in the darkness.
They can sing in the rain,
and smile in the night,
but not I.
Though I am not a stranger to darkness
I long for light.
Though I am not a sranger to imperfection
I love the pure.
Thought I am not a stranger to sadness
I yearn for the happy and the free.
But that's just me.

For me this evokes thoughts of a dystopian future where capitalism finally collapses and the bright shiny future which we thought was on offer is shown for its true self.
I hope you'll forgive the depressive perspective but, y'know....
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 :)
I like what HDR can do for high contrast Black and White shots. I try not to overprocess my HDR shots. This one still looks a bit spooky to me for some reason.
A young Highland calf photographed at eye level in open pasture. Lowering the camera removes distance and puts the viewer directly into the scene. The soft background separation keeps attention on the subject, while the natural light brings out texture without making it feel overprocessed. No setup — just positioning, patience, and timing.
Pine cones in a bucket, after cleaning up the backyard after a loooong winter. I was inspired by a flickr friends post www.flickr.com/photos/cagey_u2/34012552160/in/dateposted/
I thought I would play with this capture a bit for HSS Sliderssunday - being just a "little" over processed and slid I hope it still qualifies.

An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
This is an iPhone shot from almost a year ago. I couldn't decide which edit I like better, so I uploaded another version in the comments along with the original. HSS, everyone!
Did a bit of over the top processing to bring out the tones and colors. It might feel a bit like HDR, but its just a single shot. Overprocessed.
Sigma 10-20mm
Canon T2i / 550D
handheld
3 shots
HDR tonemapping + NoiseWare + Unsharp Mask + B&W conversion tool in PS + the resulting b&w layer was added as a luminance layer in PS.
I added the original shot (unprocessed) on top of all layers to 'normalize' the whole thing.. it was looking excessively sharp and over-saturated.. it's still overprocessed but that's why experiments are for..
.. a never ending learning curve ..
After being on Flickr for a while, you notice that there are some people who don’t like overcooked hdr’s. In fact, a lot of them absolutely despise anything that has to do with hdr. They will go to great lengths to SEARCH AND DESTROY all evidence of paranormal dynamic ranges. They swear by the SOOC code and shun all who dare to adjust their curves in photoshop. They flame hdr forums and bring home news of their victories to all their buddies with point and shoots.
Honestly, I think this photo just looks a little silly though. (Okay, fine, not silly. Cut me some slack guys. lol)
But how often are you walking along the beach when the sun shoots some light rays through the cloud gap and the -2 exposure just happens to look like the apocalypse is about to happen? To me? About once every 15 years.
Stay classy San Diego.
Just wanted to say that :P
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 :)
I have mixed feeling about this shot, I find this quite unappealing.lol so i might delete this hours later if my ficklemindedness acts up.The plant looks exotic though, is it a some kinda carnivorous plant? Btw guys, this shall be my final macro shot I promise.
I posted my previous, recent macro shots at a local forum and they commented the photos are too contrasty and overprocessed and too artistic for standard macro. However, I hope I can provide a new perspective to the macro sphere. Artistry is what I aim for in every work so I hope I'm not letting anyone here down.

Nope, sorry, I still haven't got over my like of overprocessed HDR!
This lorry was sitting on an overgrown verge, along with a number of others. It clearly hasn't been used for a while, although superficially it doesn't seem in too bad a condition for a vehicle of that age.
On top of it is an old dumper truck - you can see part of it in the pic. There are old vans and lorries to either side of it, and one parked tightly behind it too.

An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
sadly, we are no longer in touch & I hate when rifts happen that cannot be repaired. It's the part of life that sucks & I wish it never happened...
The edit of course is all me. :)
I spent most of my childhood crawling deep into books. The deeper the better.
We moved frequently. Being the New Kid at school, in a class full of other kids who had grown up together, was a thing I expected to endure each September.
Eventually, I figured out I had no more control over whether or not we moved, than I had over whether the Russians bombed the shit out of me. (It was, after all, the sixties…) But one day I realized that I could always choose the things that occupied my mind.
I started light with Dick and Jane – and that wonderfully antiseptic world they lived in where Father always wore a suit and Mother even wore a frilly dress to fix supper. The kids all got along and Spot was a cool dog. Even Sally was mostly okay…vacuous as hell…but mostly okay.
Then I moved over to the Hardy Boys (and Nancy Drew when no one was watching since they were basically the same kind of story…although one was ostensibly for girls). After that I main-lined Doc Savage and Tarzan, Sam Spade and Miss Marple. I ate up AA Merit and Jules Verne and Robert Louis Stevenson. My heroes weren’t actors or athletes. They were Heinlein and Asimov, King and Matheson. On my more shadowy days I read Edgar Allan Poe and the Dark Shadows series. I totally bought into all of it.
Why am I telling you this?
Because remembering my childhood is a little like photographing old cars. They awaken the same sense of longing I used to feel reading fiction. I have this powerful sense that nothing bad could possibly happen in these beauties.
In the world these cars came from Father would always have time to play catch and Mother would bake endless cookies and the house would look like a photographer from Good Housekeeping was expected at any moment. Sally could always be counted on to say something cute. And Spot would never EVER pee on the floor.
There’s something majestic about these regal vehicles, something utterly surreal. They carry in the very fabric of their metal, something wonderful. Simply sitting a car like that would be like breathing magic, right?
In my mind’s eye I can see the whole family cruising down the highway listening to the radio and singing along with Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. These cars were designed to go out on frosty Christmas Eves and return home with the perfect tree tied to the roof as the snow gently falls and everyone inside is smiling.
They are tough little time travellers because they are survivors, rolling gently into our world from a time when making something beautiful was more important than gas mileage, when designers put fins on their cars because they added elegance and, let’s face it, just looked really cool.
This car was magical to me. I could smell sweet dreams all over it. This image is about trying to infuse that sense of wonder and longing in a picture.
Full moon (or shortly after) shot taken on Dec 13th. This photo is a stack of 50 different exposures (of varying length) stacked by multipoint registration in Registax, deconvolution in Astra Image and final processing in PS CS3.
Image was taken with a Canon 300D and Celestron C-6N telescope at prime focus. Exposures were done at ISO 100 and exposures varying from 1/4000 to 1/2000.
If you want to see just what stacking multiple shots gets you, compare the above image to a single exposure processed (I overprocessed it though) in PS using high pass filters. That Image can be found here
A little series of Dogwood blooms. The flowers are the yellowy greeny bits in the centre. The white "petals" are actually bracts. I love dogwood. Our Darling Daughter "saved " them for us so we could see them on our recent trip to visit her. The Redbuds were still pretty too but too high up for me to photograph easily! These are perhaps a BIT overprocessed but I was doing them so I could try to paint some and wanted to really see details. Anyway, enjoy a touch of the southland! We had a BALL with our babes but a WRETCHED drive home in a blizzard ALL the way home- 1280 km - one way! We were on the road 18 hours yesterday. Today...!!!!!
This is a set of three variations based on a single image. The original is an in-camera multiple exposure of two ICMs of the same tree branches, taken early this year. The camera blend mode was Lighten which erases parts of the dark branches giving it a glitchy feel.
The three versions are progressions. The monochrome one is a straight edit using Nik Silver Efex to convert to B&W. I rather liked the intermittent patterns this produced.
The second is the same but this time tinkering in Silver Efex with toning and inverting the Curves graph (in the film attributes) to give it a blue negative look. The effect was quite different to the plain edit, like a moonlit scene.
The third version was an over-mangle for Sliders Sunday today. Version 2 was processed in Nik Color Efex using a bit of solarisation and a Bicolor filter to reintroduce some colours. Then I decided to try mangling some more, so I duplicated the layer, flipped the copy horizontally and then blended the two layers with Pin Light. (I’ve rarely used Pin Light before so it was a novelty for me, though the best of the blend modes in this instance). Finally, a bit of tinkering with the colour and brightness, and a run-through with Topaz Denoise AI to get rid of some of the noise overprocessing introduced.
The end result strikes me as being a bit sinister though that was not my intention.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the images. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
In an attempt to avoid housework, I am overprocessing my photos. Happy Bench Monday, have a good week!
PLEASE VIEW IN SOMETHING OTHER THAN GOOGLE CHROME (for MAC, not sure about PC) - it seriously limits the colors. see here for details.
Just trying to do something different and be creative. Maybe I'm guilty of over processing. However, since I was so rushed on this trip for all of my shots (w/wife and 2-year-old in tow), I didn't feel like I had the time to set up for epic shots and sunsets/sunrises. Maybe I'm over compensating for lack of composition on some of these:) If you take a look at the original shot below, you can see what I had to work with at the start.
How I did this, in case anyone's interested:
* Opened the original raw image in ACR and did my usual process of tweaking the fill light, upping the contrast, upping the blacks, etc. I pretty much use the same process as Tom Bricker, see this tutorial www.wdwphotography.com/workflow-tom-bricker/. BTW, I highly recommend this site for everyone - get yo learn on.
* Once in PS, I upped the shadows/highlights to bring out the shadow detail on the tower and bring it out of the darkness.
* Attempted to remove some of the fisheye effect with the distort tool because of the next step...
* Using the distort pointer tool, widened the base of the picture to use forced perspective and make the tower look… well, towering
* Applied Topaz Adjust on the image to bring out all of the subtle stains and lines in the stucco of the tower.
* Created a ray of light from behind the tower using the technique here: photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photo-manipulat...
* Added a rounded corner on the entire picture as shown here: matthom.com/archive/2004/09/10/fast-rounded-corners-in-ph...
Constructive criticism and feedback is welcomed.
We eventually made it all the way up Armstrong Canyon to Owachomo Bridge. I wanted a photo (of course) but didn't want to take the same photo as the last time. So I scrambled around for a while and came up with - Surprise! Another hdr of the bridge with water in front of it. Different angle, different pool of water, but there ya go.
