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!

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) :)
The opaque, and ceaseless blizzard outside the window has led me to reprocessing old stuff. I'm trying to greatly expand my use of CS3, but often cannot tell when I have overprocessed... CRITIQUES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AND GREATLY APPRECIATED. Just tell me how it is and what I can do to fix it... =) Thanks.
if you're going to process... then overprocess. a posterized and coloured version of an old black and white image from 1999 of a 2Cv in paris

Remaining Olympic - for a while...
Waterloo trains via Instagram Lo-Fi and Flickr mobile Tokyo - tell me about overprocessing (take a nothing-special shot and make it utter rubbish :)
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.
I've wanted to try a photo like this for a while and finally had enough time & energy to try it tonight. I decently happy with the results, but then could not decide how to edit them. There were so many ways to play with this photo.... it was endless. This was one of my favourites. I liked this one because for some reason medical images are often tinged with some extra green so I played it up a lot in this photo. I think it contrasts the orange pills nicely. It's fun and different. Plus I don't often overprocessed in this type of styling so it was a nice change form the norm.
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 😊
I wasn't going to process this because I had triple spikes around Alnitak following the addition of data from previous sessions and not realising that the camera wasn't aligned in the same way each time! Doh! So I cloned them out.
This looks more natural than my previous overprocessed/clinical efforts, although it needs shed loads more data of course, which I can't provide unguided. 1 hour 26 minutes in total.

So a few months ago I went on an explore hiatus, meaning I didn't care if I got into explore and I wouldn't check to see if any of my photos made it. And I haven't checked it since. I've been debating checking it after my birthday, just for the sake of it and because I am a little curious.
But a few weeks ago I went on this huge rant in the car, telling my parents about how much explore pisses me off. There are some really awesome pictures on here. And it seems like a lot of these awesome pictures don't get any recognition at all. I don't understand what explore deems "interesting." It seems like all you have to do is take a really cliche shot, or a shot with flowers, or a really overprocessed shot to get your photo into explore. And that really bugs me. Because to me, that's not interesting. Explore is supposed to show new people to flickr interesting shots and how to navigate the site. But the photos that make it to explore, especially front page, usually seem pretty boring and cliche. I mean honestly, when's the last time you saw a really cool shot on the front page that made you say "wow, that's really awesome!"? Hmmm? Because it seems like every time I go on now, it's the same thing. A flower. A foggy scene. A splash.
So I'm done. If my photos make explore, whoop-de-doo. The only thing I'll care about is the recognition it gives to the people who rightfully deserve it. But the chances of that, with the way explore works now, seem highly unlikely.
Thanks for reading all of this. :]
#90 runs around our train to pull us back to the station. A little overprocessing gave this photo a neat look
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...!!!!!

HDR, is like a drug, you see a old wall, you run to it, shoot 3 pictures. After you are waiting to get to the computer to fuse and overprocess the result. Flickr people will click more on like tun anything else except, sunset, dogs and cats...
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Le HDR, c'est comme un drogue, tu vois un vieux mur, tu cours, tu prends 3 cliché. Après tu es impatients d'arriver à l'ordi, de fusionner les images, de les retraiter de manière exagérée. Les gens de Flickr vont plus cliquer sur ces images que sur les autres, à part, les couchers de soleil, les chien et les chats...
-*-*-*-*-*-*-
EL HDR es como una droga, ves un muro antiguo, corres para sacarle tres fotograbas. Luego hay la impaciencia de llegar al ordenador, fusionarles y sobre-procesarles. Le gente d eFlickr va a hacer clic tanto como con ninguna imagen, menos puestas de sol, perros y gatos...
SLIDER SATURDAY 8/52
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.
I have many more from this shoot that I would like to get uploaded. Also, I've just started to play around with some of the options in Picasa, so please forgive any overprocessing!
in all my imperfections. has to be viewed here
for once, i like my 365 for the day.
looks like my nose is slightly crooked?
and my lips are a little off balance? :P

Ok, so I've gone a bit far on this but it is supposed to be fantasy.

a bit overprocessed due to bad lighting conditions :/
taken with my dad's old lens 135mm f/2.8, bought the adapter and now I have 3 more lenses yaay :]]
Our Bethlehem Stars are finally blooming! I could spend hours crawling around taking pictures of them. I know this is a bit overprocessed, but I liked the look of it. Have a great Tuesday.
These two of the Muskies are the most disappointing.
Hopefully I can catch them again. 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.
Hardly ever the weather is this nice and the sky so blue. Still trying the HDR thing, can't grasp the line between balanced and overprocessed.
One of things I've found when I need a jumpstart is to return to someplace I've been before. These are flowers in my front yard. I tend to go in phases on flower shots, but it's always a good place to start over too.
When I picked my camera today, it was the first time in at least a week. Though not by choice, sometimes it's good to take a step back and start again (as a couple of good Flickr friends have done recently.)
This image has been processed, overprocessed, or otherwise played with on my computer because I don't have the energy to do much else.
...I almost missed them. But just about found time in my diary (not dairy, as is my habit to type!) and the weather gods aligned to allow me to get out and experience.
These are SOOC, as it makes it so much quicker to process :-)))
But, yes, I had that secret weapon in my SOOC arsenal... my helios lens... which adds something a little extra, without needing to prod and poke and overprocess (I hope!).
I've been feeling kind of down lately, and the dark melancholy moodiness of this photo seems to reflect that.
That's ok! Feeling sad is a normal feeling to have, don't worry about me. This post will perhaps serve as a public service announcement. Social media is a very powerful and interesting thing to me, and I often read about the psychological effects it can have on people. People enjoy using it to show others cool stuff in their lives. Of course! It is only natural. However, there is a phenomenon that many researchers have studied that suggest that regularly using social media leads to an increased chance of depression.
When you open up your newsfeed, you often will see cute dogs, cute kids, cool vacations, overprocessed landscape photos, happy families, marathon runners, beautiful food, funny stories, great weather, new job announcements, and all kinds of good stuff - possibly from hundreds of people. Posting those things is no problem, but often times it only gives us a glimpse into someone's life, and sometimes only their "highlight reel." You don't see nearly as many posts about people losing their jobs, their dog shitting on their couch, kids being jerks, crappy commutes, coworkers being irritating, going to the doctor, being bored, and eating leftovers out of a jar while standing over the sink. I will call these the "Shadow Reel" (this is a really bad photo processing joke - the bright parts of an images are called highlights, the dark parts are called shadows - see what I did there?). This stuff happens to everybody, and it's easy to lose sight of that when you only see it in your own life but rarely anywhere else.
All in all, this is a public service announcement for awareness. I don't intend to be a downer. Do not stop sharing great parts of your lives with people, and be happy for others. Just be mindful that everybody has rough times. After all, there would be no mountains without valleys. There is more to every person out there than the best stuff you see on social media or even via pleasant small talk with them. Sometimes you just see the tip of the iceberg.
This photo was taken a couple of weekends ago just off the Military Ridge bike trail near Verona. While driving there, my bike fell off my bike rack in the middle of the beltline and I had to dart in and out of traffic to get it. No one got hurt, and there was minimal damage to the bike (although I worry I might need a new rear wheel and front fender).

Attempted to catch the liveliness of the Harbourside as people do their socialising outdoors while they can. Not sure it quite succeeded.
Almost didn't post it because that sky was starting to give me c. ~2008 primitive HDR vibes, despite the processing not being all that strong on this. Maybe I should have overprocessed it just to avoid that...
