Location:
Blackstone, near the junction of Redbank Plains Rd and the M15 (Cunningham Hwy)
The setup:
This picture is a total exposure of 1 hr 44 mins. The location has the transmission towers for foreground interest, but also has a lot of interfering lights. I set up the camera and intervelometer, then hid away in the car, checking periodically. I was actually out there for half an hour more than this, but the battery seems to have died shortly after the 1h44m mark.
I spent several hours over two days editing and pondering about the final effect. This is plainly overprocessed, and is not a realistic picture by any measure. I think there's perhaps a bit too much going on here, however it does fit in with the recent theme of light painting.
Since my lens hood has not yet arrived from HK, I blutacked some black cardboard to the side of the lens, though that only helped with the side flare.
The camera & lens:
Camera: Canon EOS 400D
Lens: EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM @ 15mm
Exposure: 13 x 480" exposures @ f/8.0, ISO 100 = 1h44m total exposure.

I can't believe it's already time for our pre-Thanksgiving lunch at Triumph! It seems like just yesterday that we were there! It's a little sad that there's 365 days until we get to do this again, but it's a lot awesome that it's Thanksgiving tomorrow and then Christmas season starts for realz, yo!

So, it turns out that it's one thing to simply find "crop circles" in the snow, and quite another to actually get legible photos of them, especially the next day after another inch or two of snow has fallen to obscure the pattern, and without a way to climb up and get a vantage point that throws them into sharper relief.
I had to mess with the levels in iPhoto to try to get some of the detail to come out, but it really didn't work — if I got anywhere close to something legible in the circle's details, the rest of the photo started looking like ghastly overprocessed HDR noise, and the colors would all fall apart as well.
Oh well, you'll have to take my word for it: some bright young person had the idea to tramp out on the frozen river here and carve a crop circle maybe 100 feet around. If they continue to maintain or expand it — we're due to get another foot of snow tomorrow, so the circle will be covered up again — I'll take another crack at getting a photo of it another time.
I know, this is a duplicate of the previous image, but I found this blend that I liked. Just curious if it looks overprocessed to you? My husband said he likes the other better. Any comments?
Fenway Park view from the Prudential center; using full zoom of Sony HX9v (added some sharpness, post-processed)
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.
I altered the sizes of these images to the same scale to show the differences in processing methods. The original (left) is pretty much as the camera saw it, with just slight sharpening due to stacking and wavelets in Registax. No color balance applied. The odd cast is due to the FL-D filter, which enhances the contrast of surface features. The redo (right) is a natural color balance, as well as sharpening due to extreme processing by resampling (enlarging) the original AVI file frames and picking 5 different alignment points, then recombining and resampling back to original size. The artifacts visible along the limb (especially on the right side) are due to the final resizing to match image scales and slight overprocessing. The major benefit is not only sharpening, but also bringing out the atmospheric details such as the clouds, polar hood and the dust storms.
MOUSEOVER: Alignment points.
If you stare at a point midway between these images and let your eyes relax, you may see a very interesting 3D coloration effect.

My friend Kym has become ever so slightly obsessed with the twilight series of books, how very sad. Regardless we thought it could be cool to do a twilightesque portrait.
Strobist - 2 430ex speelites into a collapsed umbrella both on full power camera right, 1 Vivitar 2500 though a snoot behind the model.
Please please please view this large & on black!
I overestimated the darkness at my dark sky site and overexposed these images. Thanks to Photoshop for helping to save them. These are overprocessed, other versions are below.
Client used Black Box Color Several Times:This left her Hair UnEven, OverProcessed, Dry & Damaged w/Breakage. Used @Olaplex with the @Pravana Color Extracting System 3x to pull the Black, Over Stained Color out, Then Proceeded Using Olaplex in schwarzkopf Royal 5-88, 6-99 &89 W/30 Volume . To complete the service gave her an intense glossing Repair Treatment and this was the result. It was sooooo super Soft & Shiny
Casper's Hot Dogs. This image was hopeless (severely blown out overcast sky, drab color) until it was "saved" with some overprocessing.
Hayward, California.
This is one of the first shots that I took with my 50mm lens when I got it a few months ago. Shot at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Great place to walk around and look at flowers, but a little pricey in my opinion. I like the color and framing of this photo, and I think the HDR looks nice, if not a little overprocessed.
Attempt #2 with this image, was trying to make it look more natural than the previous one, ended up having to overprocess the image a bit so there is some noise at 100% =\ Still, I like this a lot better, and I think I will try it again in a few days now that I know what I'm aiming for to see if I can clean it up.
Sunset over the NorthBay December 27 2007. HDR from 5 exposures generated and edited in Lightroom, tonemapped in Photomatix and edited in Photoshop. The HDR was then blended with a Photoshop Orton in photomatix using intensive hightlights and shadows. Overprocessed? Maybe.

Took my kids to hang out at my parent's recently renovated house... brought my camera with me to re-try the levatation I blew just a few days before.
Getting back into the swing of things with this shot. I used to lament my overprocessing... I would start doing stuff, and just felt trapped by the process and couldn't stop. These days, I do things with purpose while going for a particular outcome... now I just have to figure out how to get closer to my vision.
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.

Babylights aka very fine highlights. This was handpainted Balayaged Babylights creating soft diffusion of color mimicking the natural effects of the sun. Box Color left Hair Dull and over processed, By adding Babylights We changed the tone of the color adding warmth and creating dimension. Because the hair had been overprocessed we used Olaplex in every step, from lifting to color to toning this kept cuticle smooth allowing this gorgeous shine. Her layers were reshaped and given maimum volume and movements
110 - Our Daily Challenge - "The seven deadly sins":
This is what I see every time I eat a bowl of cereal. lol. I'm a cat lover, but it won't keep me from admitting that KC is guilty of at least 6 of the 7 deadly sins. I myself am guilty of shameless overprocessing to feature those envious eyes. :)
Happy Sliders Sunday: I added Coffee Shop's Creamy Chocolate Black and White action, lowering the opacity on the b/w by about 50%, then played with the tint slider to make her envious eyes a little more green for that green eyed monster.

purple ceiling, warm stairs, sunset light, wild sky... i kind of enjoy this one, although i think i overprocessed it a lil bit... a bit too "funky" isn't it?
listened to MOP today so i dug out this record for y'all: M.O.P Anticipation !
More experiments with HDR. This is HDR and then converted to B&W with Silver Efex. Hopefully as time goes on they will start to have less of this overprocessed feel. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? I am open to anything to help speed up this processing process with HDR and B&W and creating more dynamic photos but without looking overprocessed. I much prefer #2 (the other HDR then Silver Efex one) to this one. P1070561_HDR_2-Edit_025-Edit_026.jpg
This is super duper over processed, but I thought it sort of looked cool, so. Here it is.
I need to paint. I have been craving some paint time for a while, but I can't get around to it. I am sort of afraid that I can't come up with anything, but that's what gesso is for. (covering up bad paintings...) I can feel my artist coming back, slowly- she's in there! Must be patient.
First try at capturing the brightest comet of 2018, comet 46P/Wirtanen. It was located in constellation Eridanus (on a half way between Azha (Eta Eridani) & π Ceti). It was not really easy to see it in binoculars because of light pollution, but you could easily tell that there is something fuzzy on long exposure photos. I took 110 images (101x8s, f/3.5, ISO:1600 + 9 dark frames, 18 mm) and stacked them in DSS. The result was slightly edited and cropped in GIMP.
This is the best image of any comet that I have. The last comet (that I could even see with my naked eye) was C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy, but the images that I was able to take were horrible. Here, I did what I could with my DLSR. I am still a beginner in astrophotography, so I am glad that you can see there a fuzzy thing representing a real comet between points of light, stars. Of course it would be nice to see a green color here, but I have no idea how to do that. I did not want to overprocess the image. I think the colors are good.
And now for something completely different! An impressionist photograph!
Just a bit of fun, an overprocessed raw file that started life as a dull slightly out of focus picture! Well sometimes we take photography too seriously!
First of the holiday snaps, looking from Grune point over skinburness marsh. i've put it on the map if you're interested. this is the northwest of cumbria, will post more of the holiday snaps as i get round to them. We even found a new lake ( to us anyway) which was stunning and has to be one of the best views for the least effort in the lake district.

i don't like processed/overprocessed photos - but he does.
... or maybe I just over-tweaked the sliders in Photomatix ever so slightly?
Could this be Carole - rather difficult to tell amongst all this fire and brimstone ;-)
Couldnt decide on a title for this originally had burning bush in mind but just googled hawthorn and according to irish myth and legend there be fairies there for sure.To this day farmers plough a wide circle around lone hawthorn trees avoiding all contact between tilling implement and root for fear of offending the fairies that inhabit the tree,hope i didnt get too close.
This was taken on my third day up here when the first bit of decent light burst through not long after sunrise bathing the foreground in glorious light and the tree looked like it came alive and the bright red berries looked like they were on fire.This is the tree on the left of a previous post taken a few minutes earlier.Nicer on black.

ANYONE INTERESTED IN STARTING A NEW OUTDOOR COMPETITION GROUP WITH EITHER A WEEKLY OR MONTHLY VOTE FOR THE TOP 5 SHOTS MAYBE BASED ON A DIFFERENT THEME EVERY TIME.
I would love to see a friendly group like this but would like to keep it genuine with votes going to the shots that you feel are the best and not voting for who you know.I would like to keep it as natural as possible with no HDR textures or overprocessed shots and also only have people enter on genuine grounds with the aim of commenting on the shots there.No cheesy awards or anything like that (there are too many already like this) just a nice group with those willing to participate.
Anyone interested i dont know how to set these things up or invite others to join.
