I'm replacing the previous version of this image -- I think it was overprocessed the first time.
I apologize to those of you who left comments that ended up deleted.
From my yard on Tuesday.
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 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.

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!
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.
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.
For - Happy Slider Sunday - 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.
For - Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
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 :)
Yet another image of the Orion nebula. This one was created with less light pollution and more subframes. That means better colors and a lot less noise and less of that overprocessed look. This is a compilation of roughly 95 frames, ranging from 3.2 seconds to 60 seconds, ISO 800 and 1600. Merged to HDR, and tonemapped with a global operator.
With my setup, I can't go much over 60 second exposures without the stars smearing.
Not bad for a pawn shop camera, eh?
Much, much better large.
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.

no big story or significant connection here. too tired to go do creative interperative stuff, so i just put up the lyrics to whatever song was on at the very second i posted this shot. pandora radio = win.
couldnt sleep. no, not by choice, i layed down, head on pillow, 2 hours passed, im stil up. couldnt find anything to occupy my mind so i went back into some old files of possible HDR processing shots that i never made time to explore. there are specific reasons why i choose not to spend too much time fixing these batches up, this being a good example... overprocessed is an understatement, and sadly, without doing so, the entire set would be in the recycle bin. this one however, showed promise in the raw stages, but once it came together, it proved to be more work and attention to detail than i was willing to apply when i was shooting this, thus making it ten times as much a hassel to process. GEESH!
ok there, i did something almost creative. i tilted my watermark and hid it in the photo, can you find it? muahaha.
in the words and hit song title by Paramore: "For a pessemist, i'm pretty optimistic." don't ya think?
have a great monday everyone.
Best viewed larger - click 'all sizes' above the pic.
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.
