Picture of Nobuo on the bed (on white wee-wee mats the color processing has changed to cyan) in California in October of 2013. The original image was very grainy (due to low light I think - it was seven years ago...) and in an attempt to get Nobuo's colors looking like Nobuo, the wee-wee mats turned blue.
Over processed? Definitely. But I like it in a very unsubtle way.
A fantastic day working with:

This is an HDR shot - 3 exposures (-1, 0, +1) using Dynamic Photo HDR. Tried to avoid overprocessing.

So let's pretend that this is a practice painting of some master....he got the dimensions a little wrong and his technique isn't great. Hope you have a great Sunday. HSS!
I've never had any luck with shooting the moon, but I snapped this one this morning (handheld), and was surprised how it came out. I may have to try it with the tripod again...^+^
It's a little overprocessed, but what the hey...
This was shot with no lighting or reflectors of any kind. The lens flare is real. I was just using this shoot to try some new retouching ideas.
SLIDER SATURDAY 12/52
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 had to go down to the recycling centre, or the Dump as we call it, today. This is the the centre in Wandsworth, one of many along the Thames, which perform such an important function to keep London running. The barges run up and down the river all day taking the rubbish away....I don't know where to .... probably Essex.......
I had to overprocess this......how do you make a recycling centre look good?........

Straight out of camera JPEG.
It's so great to have a focal range of (24 to 364); having such a focal range is so useful, especially for traveling and just everyday documentation/shooting, this little Sony HX9v has become my favorite, all around, take-everywhere-with me camera.
I have used other highly rated point and shoot cameras like the Sigma DP2s, Ricoh GRD III, Leica DLux (4,5) and Panansonic LX (3,4). I'm not a technical reviewer, but I do shoot a lot and I personally find the SONY having an edge over the other cameras—compared to the other compacts I mentioned, a. Sony covers an extensive focal range, b. I love Sony's Panoramic mode, c. I like Sony's "background blur" effect that actually works quite well.
And, above all, somehow, Sony has the fastest focus. I can shoot my kids on a swing (daytime) all day long without getting a single blurry pic. This was quite hard to achieve with the other point and shoot. Again, I need to mention that one issue I have with Sony is how SLOW it takes to change modes. Otherwise, it would have been one of the most responsive compacts I have used.
Image quality wise, it's impressive (for a small sensor size, compact). It's sharp when shooting up close; it's seemingly sharp when shooting landscape shots but if you zoom in at 100% you will see the workings of the image processor—some areas look good but some areas look downright ugly and overprocessed. That said, the overall image quality for web posting and small-medium prints will be fine.
…more thoughts to come later.
You know, I haven't overprocessed the crap out of anything lately.
...ah, that's better.
So last night I learned how to make a Mariotte Siphon to make a nice, consistent, adjustable drip, and then deprived myself of sleep shooting around 400 frames of dripping water under my high-speed strobe. And now today I flip through them and.. eh. I can't figure out how to make any of them look good enough to be worth posting. I did figure out a couple interesting processing techniques in Photoshop, though.
What, me? Pretend I can be arty? NOOooo...
loft living project: "chateaux monroe" guest room designed for out-of-town guests & short-stay business people. nyc elements abound in this room design.
From the reclaimed n.y.p.d. police barricade-turned bench, to the rescued n.y.p.d. police locker & the manhattan cast metal window "protector" as a sculpture. Books in the mid-century modern case run the gambit, from Moma's design collection & Muji's "nyc in a bag", to Jon Ortner's Manhattan Dawn & Dusk, & various nyc eating/visiting guides , it's nyc in full tilt.

F.Y.I.: "New York City in a Bag", by: MUJI
"As irresistible to adults as it is to children, MUJI's New York in a Bag comes with eight wooden city structures and six wooden cars. Included are New York City icons such as MoMA's original 1939 building, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the Guggenheim Museum. The wood is from sustainable forests. Recommended for ages 6 and up."
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."
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.

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.
