I didn't take many 'proper' photos in New Zealand - and am not happy with most of those I did take. Here's one that I think is Ok-ish. The light was stunning as we drove from Wanaka on the South Island towards Franz Josef Glacier. This may look a bit 'overprocessed' but it really was every bit this vibrant.

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!

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.

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) :)
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.
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 😊
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. :]
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...!!!!!
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.
#90 runs around our train to pull us back to the station. A little overprocessing gave this photo a neat look
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 :)
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.

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...
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.
