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.

Himalayan Balsam Impatiens glandulifera

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.

This was pretty dark, so I bumped the highlights up a lot. It looks really overprocessed, but I kind of like it.

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.

There's got to be a way to take an interesting picture of fire escapes.

Just for kicks.

scene guards are dull, not often you have a feline companion to keep you company!

bit overprocessed as very bad light.

#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?

My main Flickr stream, that has less pictures of men in lycra, is here: www.flickr.com/photos/placid_casual/

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 :)

Random photoshop overprocessing.

actually, this one isn't too bad, it's just of the edge of overprocessed

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!)

Therfield Heath nr. Royston,

a bit overprocessed, but looks like I remember it

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.

A wartime sky. Alien shapes overhead. Who's watching?

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.

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.

Marin County. Highway 1.

This one is a bit overprocessed in an attempt to fix the blown sky.

One of the first shots w/my new camera. My wonderful sister, Tara.

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.

Vintage.

from the parade, just before they honked the horn, scaring Natalya.

an experiment in over-processing

Harley Davidson Bergamo - Dettagli

Overprocessed for fun (don't worry, I won't make a habit of this). HDR from RAW.

Thanks to chemival for teaching me how to get bokeh non-accidentally.

Cherokee Heights Park, looking west from atop the sledding hill. It's overprocessed but I can't get myself to change it.

A failed effort at a full mosaic, so an overprocessed section of the rough end of the Moon.

Overprocessed on purpose...

Images were taken off from a mirror... lighting was a lamp shade just below the face...

No makeup whatsoever ... impromptu shot actually.. didn't know it'll look this way...

This was taken abt 1 yr back.... after one yr of stress and work.. the subject no longer looks as fresh... sigh...
