on the beach at Whitstable

Slightly overprocessed - my first time shooting in RAW and messing about with it afterwards.

#Raphadramatic snaps from the Leicester Forest Cycling Club's annual road race in September 2014.

Please don't pinch my pictures. If you'd like to use them, then let me know. I probably won't charge, but it's nice to be nice, right?

I am NOT amused by McCain's sneering lack of respect for women.

And no, Sarah Palin is NOT my idea of a role model for women.

McCain: Again…just again, an example of the eloquence of Senator Obama, health (indicates air quotes) of the mother. You know that’s been stretched by the pro-abortion movement to mean almost anything.

For FGR pick today: We are not amused

We chose to take the Cave Route down instead of backtracking back up to the saddle and following the canyon trail back down. There's no real trail across and down the rock but there are a few scattered cairns, which seem to point in all directions. Gnarly, scrambly, find a series of tiny footholds scrambling down off the rock - I kept thinking we were off the real route and as soon as we got down and hit the trail we'd look back and see the real route up. Hey, it's happened before... But when we got to the bottom we were right on the trail. That really was the route. To all that follow - I'd recommend going UP this way and back down the canyon trail.

(this one also looks a little overprocessed to me but it's untouched - straight outta the camera)

I really felt like overprocessing this.

The Forks was having a book sale this week in support of Thin Air Writers Festival. I found a Flat Stanley book. This was one of my kids' favorite book series (along with Captain Underpants).

I thought I would try to process it with ipiccy. I have some flickr friends that do amazing HDR work and I am trying to learn. I worry that I may overprocess and than it has that weird glow to it.

What's up Homewood? Yo, where are all your people at?

Dog, I'm up in your buildings taking sub par pictures, forcing me to compensate by overprocessing and writing kitschy blurbs, but where are all the people? And what's up with your BBQ joint and your bank-y building?

What's the deal Homewood?

Hello Flickr!

I'm back!

Sort of. 10-20 is still broken, photographically uninspired and a pile of shots that need to be either overprocessed or dumped.

Maybe I need a change of setting...

Ran across a car show today after taking some photos in the woods. They were sweeet. For those not familiar with sports cars, the hood lifts on the opposite end, thus the odd shape : ).

An hour of Hydrogen then if got windy so I binned the Oxygen and sulphur then overprocessed a bit. Looks pretty but I can do this one much better

Ferenc körút metro station, cross-processed slide, agfa rsx emulsion. The lab in Luxembourg overprocessed it almost beyond repair, I managed to bring it back to life with Silverfast and Negafix.

overprocessed ;-/

Overprocessed I know, but I was trying to bring some life to a very drab shot that was a result of one of those drive by shootings. I took this on the famous Pacific Coast Highway somewhere in Oregon. It had been gray and dreary since we left Seattle, and this was the first colorful thing we saw. We could see it from the road which is actually behind the tug. You drive around this body of water.

Story behind my flickr buddy icon:

This take is a real photo (not composed/created of 2 images). B&W conversion and image mirror flip was done in Gimp, contrast boosted and edge frame added.

I took it as reflection of myself in my spouse's sunglasses. It's actually a photo of her eye (the rest - me with the camera is just a reflection, that's why the whole image is a little bit blurred and feels like out of focus or overprocessed).

Take your lens cap off, keep your eyes open and go search for interesting reflections around you!

this shot is NOT BY ME, it was taken by zfol_510 who kindly allowed me to edit it.

This is the very first time that I dare asking someone to share his work so it means a lot that www.flickr.com/photos/25621604@N00/ accepted, thank you

the textures are from Jenny.

thank you very much to both of you for sharing your work:)

this is a first try.

I know that it is very "dark mood" but I liked it this way after that I've tried some of Jenny's grunge textures that I never tried before.

My Youngest Daughter Jacinta. The light of my life.

Jacinta suffers with Cerebral Palsy and yet still has to put up with me taking pics of her when I feel the need to take a pic. As it has been a few days since I took anything, today was one of those days.. poor little blighter....

and with the mighty release of the shutter, all of history was considered

The good times suddenly are all forgotten." Rod McKuen

Please view on black.

After the HDR and tone mapping process, it looks much more interesting if is not overprocessed.

36 hours from now, I'll be headed to the airport. Off to India for 3 1/2 weeks - a little traveling and working for 2 weeks at a Women Build/Habitat for Humanity project in Bangalore.

I'm pretty damn proud of my packing job - this is by far the smallest bag I've taken traveling. Of course, I'll have a small camera bag too, but still!

Week 8 of 52 weeks of feeling fit - here's hoping I stay healthy while traveling! And return fitter than ever after lugging around a backpack and building houses :)
