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.
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
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.
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
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.

Another one from the archives but it brought back memories of a quiet mind and toes full of sand.....

Theme of the week: Sliders Sunday*
*it's about "over-processing" your picture in a way you like and which looks obviously weird compared to the original.
Sunset over Wascana
Passed this image through a number of different apps.

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. :)
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.
View Large for whatever reason. view original for a good laugh at grainy perfection.
Fiction and reality collide
Faceless and so busted up inside
You've been searching you've been crying out
Will you be destroyed by all your doubt?
You decide
(Who will you run to)
Wrong or right
(There is no reason)
For you to hide
Only love can change your life
You decide
God is calling out to you again
Let Him pull you, let Him take you in
From the fear that swallows up for your life
Will you stay the same or will you fight?
You decide
(Who will you run to)
Wrong or right
(There is no reason)
For you to hide
Only love can change your life
Only love can change your life
Every day you hold on to your lonely broken heart
(It's tearing you apart)
God is calling out to you just let healing start
(Will you open up and let Him in)
You decide
(Who will you run to)
Wrong or right
(There is no reason)
For you to hide
Only love can change your life
You decide

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.
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!
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.

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.
The sunset was beautiful. I was there with my camera and tripod. Took multiple photos with HDR in mind. Got home and it didn't look at all what I saw in real life. But with the idea in mind that there is no such thing as a "bad" photo I spent endless hours endlessing processing all my sunset photos from that day into this image. It's completely overprocessed, and not much better than when I started but at least I think its more interesting.
Caught this "Semi" as we were passing it. Not often I get to be the passenger in the back seat, so to relieve boredom I got the cell phone out and "played".
Used Prisma: Breakfast filter - all in the iPhone. First for a Painterly effect - then used only a bit of a slide for HSS in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Ovvero prendere una foto mediocre pacioccarla.. aggiungere layers ed ottenere un risultato ancor più mediocre...
Uh oh, found the split tone sliders in Lightroom. Will try to resist the urge to pollute my stream with a bunch of overprocessed nonsense...
