When I took it I'd framed it badly, so I figured I couldn't make it any worse with some post-processing.
I was wrong.
This year has been an eye opening year for me at Shenandoah National Park. Helping Joey with the Junior Ranger Program has helped me find a new appreciation for this park that I love so much. I find myself taking in the small details of natural wonder more so now than ever before.
As wonderful as the Grand Vistas and lanscapes are that this park offers, these small details are just as beautiful.
Another thing that I have realized in this new found appreciation for this 75 year old National Park is that I am really going back to my roots as a photographer. In capturing images here I am trying to represent it in its natural beauty vesus "beautifying" the images with overprocessed HDR processing. This has made me really push myself to refine my own shooting and processing and try to elevate it. I hope I am succeeding.
I guess this is a whole circle of enlightment because I know my refound love for B&W processing is tied to this too.
Thanks for looking.
#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?

Many an umbrella has come to an untimely end at this spot. A bit of digital overprocessing seemed appropriate.
Yeah. Obviously. by the looks of this picture.
This was blogged later. I think part of my problem is that I am tired of insincerity. Hardly any of you care enough to even read what's on that link. I don't really want comments anymore, not unless they're sincere. I only comment when I have something to say. I'm so sick of everything and everyone.
Me and the boy making up over a falling out earlier in the day. I probably should not have been licking the ice cream when the photo was taken - not a good look.
I may have overprocessed this but it was fun to play! Used the "Tara Whitney" tutorial at DPS digital-photography-school.com/forum/showthread.php?p=578... then added a vignette and some cross processed type colour (from a tutorial here: www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/or/cross-processing.html. )
Photowalked downtown Spartanburg with RedCrowe again today, but it was overcast, gray, and really, really non-contrasty. So, I'm in an overprocessing mood. I think I pushed some of these a little too far, but it's what I do, right?
The fountain in the square, downtown.
An interactive sculpture, made from scrap metal and titled ‘a sledgehammer to crack a nut’. Intended as "a graphic demonstration of the absurdity of overprocessing plants". I suspect that it's far too entertaining for most observers to see it as a symbol of absurdity, although we only saw it partly working.
Surprise sunset at Dukes, Waikiki. Maybe the raw image would show this more accurately, with the sky colours not separated as they are here. It really was an unusual colour blur, more like on the right side of the photo. I find my phone camera results really good in some cases, but way overprocessed in others. I did edit this to try to get more of a blur, but I don't have a good program for that on my laptop. I didn't even think to try it on the phone - who can see anything on those little screens, and everything looks a lot more in focus.
here, i'll post a more chilled-out version of this, which in hindsight was a bit overprocessed. although those colors are really there. they crank up the moment you twiddle a knob. and besides - first evening in rome - the bigness, coliseum, wildfire sunset, winged chariots - you'd have photoshopped too. even if the vittoriano is tacky. i don't care.
Best viewed large. Taking inspiration from Flickr user LOMOKEV, I overprocessed the hell out of this shot.
scene guards are dull, not often you have a feline companion to keep you company!
bit overprocessed as very bad light.

I'm usually pretty good with remembering bird patterns, and I don't recall seeing this one in my feeder in previous years. Huh!
This is a pretty extreme crop of a shot a took with the 100mm lens, handheld, from inside the house, so pardon the overprocessed look. :)
Shots of Lake Ontario meeting the breakers on shore. I had to overprocess the hell out of these shots in Photoshop, so if anyone has tips on shooting water I'd greatly appreciate it!
Day 32 (32/366)
I thought I would photograph some bright color for a change. Then I decided I would have some fun in Photoshop and totally overprocess. I kind of like it :)

Sometimes I like to play with my photos, this was one of those times.
The creek is such a pretty place to take photos, but unfortunately the tall trees and lackluster sunset colors made a dull image SOOC. This one is a bit overprocessed, but I like it. (Check out the swan in the lower left corner!)
Nikon F6
18-55 DX
Kodak Gold 400 pushed to 800 but then overprocessed for 7 minutes in Unicolor C-41 kit
I think this was intended as a gift from one of the cats. Luckily it never found its way into the house.
Although this is an HDR image, too, I tried not to overprocess it to such an extent that it looked surrealistic. I wanted to be able to see inside the building.
That's one beauty of HDR...we can save the dynamic range from the bright highlights to the intricate details in the shadows. Our human eye can see this range, naturally, but the camera cannot. Thus, we create multiple exposures to show each portion of the proper image.
I combined 3 images using the Nik HDR Effects plug-in for Apple Aperture.
Heavy Frost.
It turns out we got a pretty cold winter, it's now several weeks more or less freezing. The snow is gone, but the lakes have thick ice now. This allows persepectives that are impossible normally, you can just walk into the lake. Nice. Unfortunately the paths are slippery, I managed to fall on my buttock on my way back, but luckily I had my camera packed already, when that happened.
I realitze the last few rounds of photos were a little heavy handed and overprocessed. Here I tried a more subtle rendering which maybe suits the subject better? I don't know. Decisions, decisions ... I try to get out again to one of the lakes at the weekend. Usually at the weekend under such conditions everything is pretty crowded and not so nice and quiet as it looks like here, when I was almost on my own.
All of these were taken with the new Nokia 3310 and its 2MP camera, with external Wide-Angle and Macro lenses and processed with Photoshop Lightroom.
Probably way overprocessed, but I like it anyway - adds some nice Drama. Had to do quite a bit to bring up the shadows nicely - want to keep it a bit mysterious while still showing some detail.
That's our dog Kitty. This image is a perfect example of what happens when a photoshop amateur gets too much time on his hands.
Also there is BW version.
