Pink paeony ICM. No, really. It is (where’s your imagination?) ;)
Well, what do you do when you have loads of these wobbly camera shots? Come to that, what do you do for Sliders Sunday?
I was going to do you a painterly tractor, but it was rather a good tractor (though I say it myself) and I didn’t want to rush it. Also, I feel a bit guilty sometimes posting a painterly rendition to Sliders Sunday because the group is intended to be about overprocessing.
So I was ambling through the back catalogue and found this ICM taken in June which is part of a big collection of failures and not so failures. They’re all so abstract that I hesitate to publish some of them, even in the better ones.
But what happens if you Sliders them? Quite a lot it seems. There were some very interesting results from this one because of the strong sense of movement and depth (it’s a twist ICM of the centre of the flower).
Herewith four variants. The first is a Color Efex smash-up with solarisation and bicolour filters (etc…). The rest are Topaz Studio versions. I avoided painterly versions though there were some good possibilities there too. I like the monochrome version (which I’ll post for my 100x on Motion, as well as the fiery furnace. What about you?
I’ll post a link to the in-camera version so you can admire my dirty sensor. (I have cleaned it now ;) ).
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday and 100x :)
I know it is a bit overprocessed, but in the train back from Paris to Heidelberg I was testing some nice iPhone Apps. This was shot and processed completely on iPhone 5.
A high cutback at sunset. HDR from 7 exposures generated in Lightroom and tonemapped in photomatix with final editing in Photoshop. I also used Nik color EFx on this. I guess this one close to being overprocessed!
SLIDER SATURDAY 6/52
There are times that I find extensive post processing evokes a very different feel or mood from an image and sometimes I like the result.
Being more of a purist with photography, I seldom post these overprocessed images but I decided for 2012, I would post those images on what I have termed "Slider Saturday". These will be images that I have extensively moved the sliders in post processing.

Unfortunate mistake. Farmers' Market Ogden Utah Aug 27, 2022. I shot thison a great day - Kodacolor 400 from 1983. I shot it at EI 200 and then, mistakenly, thought I should adjust again in development and added 20 seconds ... ? The roll was extremely overdeveloped which was extremely disappointing because of the great shots. The negatives were impenetrable. Since I did bleach bypass I went back and washed the film, bleached with potassium ferricyanide for 8 minutes and then fixed again for 8 minutes. The negative came out much clearer, but as you can see with MUCH loss of detail and extremely flat. If my life was at stake, I guess we could say it worked, but most of the interesting stuff is gone.
However after seeing these results and some others, both mine and other folks' I think I'm arriving at with expired color film - adjust the light and compensate for age, etc. And then develop normally. We'll see what I do next.
Over processed? Well, yes, but I kinda like it nonetheless. ;-)
I saw this cloud while on the train, with about a minute and a half till we pulled out. I dashed out onto the platform, snapped (yay for hyperfocal settings) and ducked back in. And off we went.
Who doesn't love waking up and looking our their door and seeing a hunky lumberjack in a tree on their lawn? Who doesn't love The Lumberjack Song by Monty Python? Who doesn't love joining new Flickr groups? Who doesn't love overprocessing photos with Ribbet's Focal Zoom effect to hide the fact that you are out of focus?

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
He cuts down trees, eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars...?
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I were a girlie
Just like my dear papa
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a bra?!?

Reference Slider Saturday 4/52 for a better understanding of this image.
Didn't have much time to do this, was at rehearsal today, so exciting XD. anyways, i know this is the definition of 'overprocessed' but i like it lol

ew, im not sure what the colours look like on other peoples screens, it looks fine on mine, but on our other computer it looks all yellow and bleargh...
This tiny series of three VERY overprocessed Peony shots is for the purpose of printing, and then drawing, then painting. They ARE overprocessed deliberately, to let me see where the shapes are and to see the colour a bit more clearly. Sorry about that from a photographic POV, but I am VERY anxious to try to paint at least ONE of the series. As always, stay tuned, but do NOT hold your collective breath!!
It is not an HDR but an overprocessed image... The result is baroque but found it intersting enough to post it here.

I just ran across this shot I took in 2005. I'm sure I didn't upload it because I felt it was too overprocessed. I still kinda feel that way and would probably bring down the saturation were I to work on it again today.
It's always interesting to look back every once in a while....

I was looking for an interesting composition involving these awesome fiber optic lights and SSE, but wasn't feeling it until I ditched SSE and pointed toward Innoventions. Be sure to view this one large to see the tiny lens flares :)
I feel like I'm pushing my personal limits for overprocessing on this one (used moderate amounts of both Nik and Topaz), but I showed it to my wife and it passed the "clown barf" test. I think that's going to be a running theme for me on all these new shots.. pushing against my limits but knowing where the limits should stay.

Overprocessed? Yes. Just as much as we are overprocessed and churned out each day by the society of the sociopath!
Faceless automatons aurally uplinked. Transmission!
This slider was post-processed in PSPX4 with Topaz Adjust5. Also, added a layer with layer styles to add the edge glow.
After being uncooled in the Icebox, I was advised to resubmit this shot with less processing.
I am fully aware that I overprocess, it is like a drug that I often overindulge in and I can't see the photo for the filters sometimes. The problem being that a lot of everyday viewers who haven't got a clue about photoshop always comment so well on the overprocessed shots and create a vicious circle of filter abuse.
But, as a photographer, I understand that there is little skill in clicking a button and making things look "stylish".
On that note, I am going to try to stay away from overprocessing for a while unless I really have to & try to focus on the basics of composition and proper exposure.
This shot has had some cropping, burning & a small amount of patching to remove some of the larger bits of bird poo, otherwise, it is a straight B&W conversion of the original RAW.
Still life study of a fresh from the garden tomato.
Original was first processed in the iPhone App PRISMA then some further "Slidding" in Snapseed to do a little cleaning up.
Used PRISMA - Style: Curtain 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.
An abandoned trailer in Wyoming's Red Desert, not too far from I-80. What do you think? I experimented here with some merged filtering to give it a more contrasty look. Successful? Overprocessed? Comments welcome!

It's a shame that old house got in the way of those phone and power lines. (Overprocessed, but lesson learned for the future.)

i was tagged by Vera ♥ pics, here goes:
1. What I like to photograph the most:
people! i love portraiture, i think it would be really fun to do fashion photography someday.
2. What I like to photograph the least:
architecture & abstract photography
3. Photography Pet Peeves:
overprocessed things. i hate most HDR photos, they look soso fake. i don't mind if things aren't sooc as long as they aren't sickeningly overprocessed.
4. What I admire from other photographers:
the ability to capture sunset lighting in every photo.
5. What I'd like to learn better:
photoshop. i recently got into using curves and all that but i think it's amazing how much you can do with an otherwise boring photo, though as i said i don't like things that are too overprocessed.
alright, i'm gonna tag:
go write in my formspring! (it's a place where you can anonymously write whatever you want to me and i'll reply in the comments of the formspring picture, for those of you who don't know) :)
Here is another departure from the norm. I posted a shot earlier (see below) of this same scene that was the most complicated processing job I have ever done. A total of 13 separate shots used, two different ISO's and all kinds of manual tweaking. I didn't like it... So I put it at the end of my stream, pulled out the +3EV exposure of the same scene, converted it to black and white for a high key look and that's it... I like it much better personally but it looks kind of funny small on the screen.
I have always pooh poohed pro quality lenses but looking at this photo, I noticed a serious falloff in sharpnesss as you move away from center with my sigma 10-20mm. If you look at the larger sizes, you can probably see the difference in the bolts as they go to the sides. I looked back through some previous shots and noticed the same thing. I had thought it was a matter of overprocessing some shots and they got soft but apparently it's the lens. Oh well, still a fantastic value for a superwide.

Spotted this chap on a high wire overlooking the scrubby rough pastureland, no doubt looking for rodents! Hope he got lucky - they do seem to be still hunting quite late in the day at this time of year.
He was perfectly calm about Pup and me walking the footpath beneath him!
I've replaced the original image as I'd overprocessed it 😊
