Im not a fan of HDR Photography generally, as the images look overprocessed. However, having spent 1.5 hours walking through the large deserted canyon in the background with a 4kg tripod and camera bag in the sweltering heat, then hitching a lift with a stranger (apparently its the norm there...something I would never do in Mexico City), I think it honours at least 1 photo. This abandoned ex convent sits high up on the hillside surround by a semi desert picturesque landscape. I was the only visitor here...not surprisingly really, given its isolated location.
I'm going to do one more quick and dirty photo from the dreaded camera phone, and then I'll get back to business. This one is from downtown Sacramento, and heavily processed by one of those ever so clever vintage apps. It works well for this one, giving the palms trees an old California feel and letting them stand out against a modern building in the background. Enjoy!
Sir John Alexander Macdonald (11 January 1815 - 6 June 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada (1867-1873, 1878-1891). A dominant figure of Canadian Confederation, he had a political career which spanned almost half a century.
The statue is a bronze sculpture standing at the south entrance to Victoria Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Sonia de Grandmaison sculpted the statue to commemorate Macdonald's achievements as Canada’s first Prime Minister (fabricated 1967)
For - Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.
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...!!!!!
Yes! End of the week! What a mental busy one it was too.
Work was still frantic, the engineer who took three and a half hours to decide one of our tape drives was bust yesterday (time includes roughly an hour spent trying to work out how to get the case off) came back with the replacement today. He said yesterday he'd be with us at about 10am. Then about 10:30am he phoned to say he'd be with us about midday. About 1pm he called to say he'd be with us in about an hour.
He managed to make it for about 2pm. Then it took him five minutes to replace the drive - and after all that f**king fuss it was so easy I could've done it!
What really got my goat was the amount of other stuff I had to arrange around this guy installing the drive, plus my 'real' work that needed to get done. Godammit I was glad when he f**ked off!
Ahhhhhhhhhh, I feel better now!
I was struggling for 365 ideas today, even a bus ride to and fro work offered no inspiration and even up to the point where I picked the camera up I was still lacking a plan.
I set up the tripod, tried a couple of shots out which had about as much worth as a comment from Robert Carboni, and ended up taking random shots of myself while I was sitting at the computer. With the light flooding through my front room window. Which, completely by accident, produced a couple of shots I thought I could work with.
I chose this shot because I felt the quality of the shot was slightly better than the alternative, which was quite fuzzy in places. It got the once over in Lightroom, which mostly removed the friggin' grim blinds we have in the window, then I opened it in Photoshop to clone out the remaining areas where the blinds showed through.
Now I should point out that Lydia's out tonight at a birthday party, which gives me a guilt-free opportunity to spend the entire night playing Photoshop. I've been trying out textures over the last week and it hasn't really worked - I just don't get what I'm doing 100% - I can follow a tutorial but that isn't the same as understanding why you're doing what you're doing.
One thing I did kinda pick up was using the gradient tool and that weird clouds setting to create textures, which is what I did here. I have to admit that I had to refer to a tutorial for a bit of it, and nearly saw red trying to get it to work, but the end product isn't bad.
I might have gone a bit overboard and overprocessed it, I can't tell. I've been staring at it for a few hours now and it's lost all meaning to me!
I had a bit of help tonight from my eldest boy Joe - he was sat on my lap because he'd got himself upset, I'd got a bit angry with him and when we both calmed down and listened to each other managed to get some stuff sorted out. He's very upset at the moment because of his selective mutism (which is where someone can talk but they choose not to in certain situations) - he really wants to talk at school but feels under pressure from everyone. He told me he has too many friends and he thinks he has to talk to them all at once! No wonder he's getting upset, can you imagine talking to thirty kids at once! Err, probably if you're a teacher I guess, but it's a big deal for my boy. We formulated a plan that may help him though, and he went to bed happy. The weird thing is, because he doesn't talk at school he has all this pent-up energy and emotion, and I think it comes out in one of two ways - like tonight he was crying his eyes out, but once I brought him downstairs and sat with him for a while he started giggling uncontrollably . . . it weirded me out a bit to see him go from one extreme to the other, and made me think that the sooner we can get him talking at school, the better. I'm worried it'll send him over the edge if he carries on for too long. And so far he's been choosing not to speak since he started nursery about four and a half years ago.
It was Joe that chose this version of the shot - the other one had no vignetteing.
Apologies for another half-face shot, like I said it was a thin day ideas-wise and this was the best shot that came out the camera.
Today's music came from Radiohead (OK Computer) and also my Deftones phase continued, listening to their self-titled fourth album.
I had to pump this up... to show how the clouds and wind was passing over Manhattan dragging and deforming over the top of the building. It was very windy and intense at times.

Shot this HDR under the picnic pavilion overlooking the lake in Pennyrile Forest State Park. This image has a little more of that overprocessed HDR look to it than my typical images, but I like it for some odd reason. Maybe I'm getting artsy in my old age. :)
There are some farm weeks that make us sit back and be thankful for our good fortune. Look at this enormous bounty! We got nine enormous green peppers, six summer squash, three heads of garlic, 4 1/2 pounds of slicing tomatoes, 4 1/2 pounds of potatoes, three pounds of onions, 1 1/2 pounds of shallots, 1 1/2 pounds of chard, a watermelon, 3/4 pound of cherry tomatoes, and 15 (!!!!) pounds of heirloom tomatoes. The pick-your-own stuff was another 3/4 quart of cherry tomatoes, 3/4 quart of okra, 30 hot peppers, and nine quarts of snap beans. Time to get pickling, yo.

Decided to go with an over-processed shot today, just for a change!
Had intended photographing just the cornet, but when Grace found out she insisted in playing it (I shouldn't complain really - she'll soon be telling me to get the camera out of her face again!).

Did you think I'd given up on 365?
Ha!
What I have given up is trying to process and post all my photos in the order they were taken. I just have way too many photos of Montreal, and it's going to take a couple of weeks to get all the ones I like up here!
So I've decided to skip ahead and try to process my 365 photos, because I'm about to hit what has the potential to be one of the most hectic and stressing week I've had in a while - moving week! Stay tuned for updates.
I was able to get a SB900 on loan to see if I wanted to upgrade So I have been playing around most of the day. This thing is awesome. Its leaps and bounds ahead of my SB-600. For this shot I also added some Ghetto lighting. Homemade LED ring light on my 105vr. SB900 as the master on camera pointed to the ceiling SB600 to my left.
I think I'll start describing my photos like a dmu member:
Boring photo that's overprocessed. Jump off that building instead.
For my daughters 16th birthday she wanted a car....not just any car....not a sports car or even a new car. She wanted a vintage Mustang! We (like crazy people) bought her one that needed to be restored and my hubby was oh so excited to do it.....that was a year and a half ago and well its still under restoration....! lol Maybe it will be done by the time she's 21!! lol
This is one of my very favourites.
Saw this wonderful sky on a windy summer day in England.
I also took "Cornwall #1" and "Cornwall #2" that day.
Sadly, the picture appears a little oversharpened and overprocessed after flickr has compressed it. :(

Rejected by Railpictures.net for "Overprocessing" ... DUH!, It's an HDR image!!!!
The boiler room in the abandoned school (see here). It is somewhat overprocessed with intent, but I think it looks cool.
Overprocessed just for fun to look like an old magazine front cover. Anyone remember the People's Friend? My Grandmother's staple read.
Used Picnik for a final wash and brush up as it looked wishy washy on Flickr - now it's oversaturated, but I'm fed up with footering with it for tonight.
v's range of motion is improving... she still shouldn't lift anything heavier than a slice of yellowtail...
This was as close as we got, a quick photo over the fence....not sure what it is used for now, will have a look on google............................................................terribly over processed, but I liked it ;) lol
This from WIKIPEDIA- "Clyne Castle is a Grade II*-listed building situated on a hill overlooking Swansea Bay, adjacent to the Clyne valley, near Blackpill, Swansea. Originally built in 1791 by a wealthy landowner it passed into the hands of the Vivian family and saw many distinguished guests over the years. Acquired by Swansea University in the 1950s, it was used as student accommodation. It has since become a block of luxury apartments."

I'd forgotten how much fun it is to play with pictures. Fun, and addictive. Agggggh!! Not only have I been spending alllll my time diddling pixels, I've been doing a whole lot of overdiddling, too.
Must. Step. Away. From. The. Computer.
The PP took some work to keep the canyon details and the color in the sky at the same time. Does it look overprocessed? for HDR?
Broadway Tower is a folly located on Broadway Hill, one mile (1.6 km) south-east of the village of Broadway, Worcestershire, England, at the second highest point of the Cotswolds after Cleeve Hill. Broadway Tower's base is 1,024 feet (312 metres) above sea level. The tower itself stands 55 feet (17 metres) high. Today, it is a tourist attraction with various exhibitions open to the public.
The "Saxon" tower was designed by James Wyatt in 1794 to resemble a mock castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1799. The tower was built on a "beacon" hill, where beacons were lit on special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered if a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester - approximately 22 miles (35 km) away - and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. The beacon could be seen clearly.
Over the years, the tower was home to the printing press of Sir Thomas Phillipps, and served as a country retreat for artists including William Morris.
The tower is on the Cotswold Way; it is easily reached by following the Cotswold Way, or by a steep climb out of Broadway village.
This version is clearly overprocessed, but I still love it anyway.
Been a bad week for photo a day so I'm having a bit of a cheat as I'm pleased with a few of the photos I took over the easter weekend.
On Easter Sunday, Perranporth was very busy with people, kites, dogs and hangliders (to follow).
Overprocessed and out there via Gimp.
You can see a scar in this one,
and I liked the over-processed aspect.
I'd like to apologize to all the people I know in reality who happened to see this photo. heh.

Sitting. Waiting. Wishing. For a child to come sit on me. I swing slowly in a light sea breeze. Sitting idle i can only imagine the feeling of a child sitting down, gripping tight to my chains and pumping. Swinging, pushing me higher and higher. Until I feel like I can fly! I am as free as a bird, i flow through the air swiftly creating my own breeze this time. Its exhilarating, but alas the time is short. Sooner then i would wish the mother calls, the child slows. With a quick stomp of the foot in the sand i am jolted to a stop. The time is done. And I return to my resting state. Dreaming of the next time I will take flight.
In 8th grade we had a writing assignment, a workshop kind of. The teacher all gave us an item in the room, we had to write from its perspective. Just a short exercise. Then we had to pick our own item, and tell the day in a life of. I chose the clock. It was fun to do.
Today we went to Branford, visited my friend Sonia, went to the beach and these little guys were just sitting there. They looked lonely and i liked their shadows, so i took a picture. :)
This started out as a rather lame image until I rescued it (or overprocessed it). I guess that depends on how you look at it!
I had an idea today and when I got home from work, experimented with my iPhone. Unfortunately, the experiment didn't work out like I thought it would.
This was the Plan B shot since the ingredients for chili were calling my name and I had to get started.
My vegan chili turned out absolutely fantastic! And I added a secret ingredient shared with me by a good, chili-lovin' friend. It was a lot of work, but totally worth all the chopping!
Have a good night and a great day tomorrow!!

adam alexander senior pics...all of the edits - if there is an action name in the file name it's a my four hens photography action :D
i don't like processed/overprocessed photos - but he does.
Taken from the same spot as an earlier HDR'd image of the sunset, this one was more dramatic with the clouds and the bright orange sun. Obviously has been processed, the look I was going for here was something that bordered on the surreal to help convey how dramatic the scene really was. There is always a personal preference issue when it comes to things like this - some love the processing, some don't, some think it is overprocessed. I welcome any and all opinions and comments.
This image was already up - somehow deleted from my photostream so if you commented before and don't see the comment now, that's what happened.
This is an example of an image made using the technique I described in my thread in the "How to HDR" group.
