The image on the left looks over-processed and too unnatural to accept. Too much shadow has been removed and the image now appears flat.
The image on the right has more natural contrast, color, shadows and highlights.
Quick Tip:
Avoid overuse of Shadow/Highlight sliders in Photoshop and Lightroom — this can cause images to look flat and unnatural.

MUJI BIO:
The MUJI philosophy has won them a worldwide following over the last 20 years, emphasizing earth-friendliness, the use of innovative materials, and efficient packaging for reduced cost. Since opening their first store in Japan in 1983, MUJI is not only an internationally renowned company, but for many people is a way of life. MUJI merchandise is based on three simple elements: materials, process, and packaging.
Inventive uses for materials that might otherwise have been discarded or ignored result in innovative product at the lowest cost. Equally important, MUJI infuses style and usefulness into everything produced, no matter what its provenance.
To keep MUJI offerings focused and flexible, heavy attention is paid to the consumer's use of the product, and the manufacturing process is determined on that basis. Superfluous finishes are rejected, overprocessing is eliminated, and lines and forms are clean and uncluttered for manufacturing ease.
MUJI carefully protects items for sale with packaging appropriate to their purpose. By using the same clear cellophane material to wrap most items, consumers see exactly what they are getting and don't pay extra for expensive packaging.
Their guiding principle is flexibility, providing the savvy customer with products that are beautiful, useful, and essential "objects for living."

hmm. been kinda out of it lately (hence the reason why i'm not looking at the camera..maybe that idea only made sense in my head) and i think it could possibly be from thinking about too many things...
but hey. it's the holiday season! so i'm perking up. i can't believe christmas is TOMORROW. it still blows my mind how fast this year has gone.
i'm not even too sure if i like this one. i was messing around with literally all forms of editing and i thought this was really cool :P not exactly how i wanted it to turn out, but whatever.
PS: not my jacket :) ... :p
PPS: i have long hair .. its just in a ponytail... hahha
I decided to take a break from posting to senior portraits, so here's an overprocessed shot of the sunset I made a timelapse of the other day. In other news I've got a senior shoot this week, a wedding this weekend, a corporate shoot in a few weeks, and another wedding in a month. Dig it

OK, so it was a near miss Tuesday. Only snapped two frames and they were both exceedingly dull. Enter Photoshop. Better overprocessed than dull.

...but that's not it's purpose.
Walking around the mock-up of a space shuttle at NASA's astronaut training facility really drives it home just how big and awesome those things are!
To the left in this frame between the giant blue hydraulic thingy and the giant US flag on the far wall are all the Space Station module mockups from the different nations collaborating in the ISS. You can only see the tops of them from this position. If you want a really good view, take the public tour! The tour goes to a viewing area that looks directly onto the modules down at that end of the building.
This was the only other panorama I was able to shoot in the time we had to walk around the facility floor. For some odd reason they wouldn't let me wander at random and poke around just anywhere I wanted for as long as I liked. Gaaahhh!
So it's not really the perfect shot, but it does give a sense of how big that place is, and help you visualize just how huge the International Space Station is too.
You have no idea how boring summer break can get.
If you like my photos don't hesitate to comment, fave, or especially add me as a contact!
Yeah, I should have saved it for Slider Sunday...but it is a fence...and it's Friday. This is a fence that goes downhill and just stops...There was snow on the ground, so it really did look like it went nowhere...I helped it a little with some post-processing. HFF!
Thanks to Pixel Lounge for the Light Center (Cold) texture and to Clive Sax for the Into Blue texture.
For Sliders Sunday. My nephew Jake, future world rally champion in the making! Had a lot of fun messing around with this and slid lots of sliders that I'd never slud before. Yeah, I know "slud" isn't a real word, but it should be!
HSS!
overprocessing has its place.
i dunno, maybe this was it.

My brother weston, who has a career in modeling if music doesn't work out.
He didn't even pose for this shot, he just naturally looks good.
I'm not a religious person but I came across this image from my archives and Good Friday seemed like the right day to upload it. It's a tad overprocessed for my tastes but I liked it at the time.
Fort Worth Stockyards.
This brought me a 5.65 in the "Username" challenge at DPC this past week. Not too bad for something with an intentionally overprocessed treatment.
I got two slightly different shots/looks of this scenery. I can't decide which one I like more. What do you think?
I think this looks a tad overprocessed.

i wish i had had my nikon when i took this, because its a sweet shot, but my finepix couldnt cut it really. still, it's pretty.
Maybe a little overprocessed...but it's Sunday, so give me a break. Revisiting the grape hyacinth at my Dad's house. Have a great Sunday. HSS!
what better way to start a 365 than with an over-processed cliche?! :P
i'll probably re-do it by tomorrow though :P
went out for breakfast and we drew these while we were waiting
the model is my friend :)
The trees surrounding our camp doesn't allow for that golden hour light. These are the last of rays before the sun hits the tops of the trees.
I just ~love~ cypress trees. I wasn't able to get any shots in spring when they're bright green. And now they're turning colors. It's so pretty to see a line of these along the shores with all the pines behind them. It's a shame we couldn't take the boat out and get some landscape shots.
I bumped up the contrast thinking it looked good large but now I'm wondering if it looks overprocessed. You think? I might put the original in comments and you can tell me.
Shot at a warehouse in Tyler, Tx.
My niece...she kept walking across
this and jumping off. God knows why.
Kid's are weird.
Pretty sure I overprocessed the Moon insofar as producing a nice & well-composed image...
But I also kind of liked how otherworldly it feels; as if it's located much nearer within our atmosphere rather than well beyond it.
Wishing everyone a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy upcoming New Year!
Lot's been going on........
Work has been hell.........but it's a job and I'm thankful to have it. It's a major challenge for me.
Adrian failed two recent hearing tests......have an Audiology appointment on the 3rd. Hopefully we can find out if THIS is what is causing the speech issues. I have often wondered if maybe it truly was a hearing problem. He is getting much better at the school I have him in. I had him in public school and well....that wasn't working too well. I switched him to a great Montessori school. It's not cheap but its worth it and he has come a long way in such a short time. He also has a double ear infection which he has been basically been chronically getting since he was a year old. This too is another problem that may be causing both the hearing problems and speech issues. This recent doctor said to get him allergy tested.......so that too is on my agenda. LOL
Missing mom...this is her holiday and it's kind of hard to get into "spirit". I decorated this year for Adrian and for her. I am also remembering that its about Jesus....the reason for the Season. ;o)
I have Adrian holding on to "HOPE".......and together we are sending HOPE to you for the coming year!
xoxoxo
*Side note.......it was actually REALLY cold when I took this photo. I asked Adrian to come outside and he was like "Hurry up mom my EYES are too cold". It was about 45 degrees which for the Florida Keys.......is VERY cold. lol
One of my Black-breasted Buzzard pair flies home with a nice new carpet for the nest.
Some raptors line their nests with fresh eucalypt leaves when they are in residence, it's thought that this might be to reduce parasites as an antiseptic. It certainly improves the looks.
The light was harsh which partly explains the hard look. It might also be a bit overprocessed.
This pair of Black-breasted Buzzards were nesting in a large euc on the bank of the Lyons River, 100m upstream from the road crossing. (The river was not running as is normal outside rain times, but there were a few waterholes with water). The birds seemed to be in the initial stages of nesting, or had just laid and were waiting to lay more. Not much sitting was going on, and no feeding. I watched them for a couple of hours on two days as we camped 10km away. A pair of Whistling Kites had set up nest exactly opposite in an even taller tree.
A Blue Heron on the shores of Pierce Lake in Rock Cut State Park, Illinois.
It is America's largest species of heron, standing over 3ft tall with a wingspan of nearly 7ft.
I tried to show restraint in the processing of this pic, because it really didn't need much. But also because I took a bunch of pics of this guy (and two of his friends), so I've got plenty of material that I can apply my overprocessed look to some other time.
I swear I haven't been doing nothing this summer! Here's the last couple of weeks of canning, buffed and waiting for labels. We've got peach salsa, cascabel peach barbecue sauce, some watery crushed tomatoes, and nine-chile salsa. There are untold hours of chopping representing in these jars. Salsa is a bear, yo.
