Between the fireworks and all the wildfires sparks seem to be everywhere these days. A bit of an artistic take on those sparks. For the Slider Sunday group. Base image created using a Canon PowerShot camera and processed using Photoshop, Quad Pencil and Fractalius.

Happy Slider Sunday!

Both of these monochrome scenes benefit from overprocessing the colors, after conversion to B&W.

Happy Mono Monday!

Nachdem ich Gefallen an den ‘überbearbeiteten Wolken’ für Smile on Saturday gefunden habe, versuchte ich auch bei diesem Bild an den ‘Farbschrauben’ zu drehen und empfand, das Ergebnis sieht nach Elfenland aus …

Als ich das Bild nach einem Tipp von Werner B. ein wenig veränderte, kamen zu meinem Erstaunen nun tatsächlich Elfen zum Vorschein !! 😜

As I liked to ''overprocess the clouds'' for Smile on Saturday, I tried to turn the ‘colour screws’ on this picture as well and felt that the result looks like fairyland …

When I changed the picture a little after a tip from Werner B., to my astonishment fairies actually appeared now !! 😜

For the Smile on Saturday theme 'overprocessed portrait' A heck of a sunburn! Me in the reflection of the sunglasses at St David's Head Pembrokeshire. Have a fun day folks ;0)

I know it may not look it to fellow American (or European) audiences, but keep in mind how densely populated a lot of Japan is. This right here, qualifies as countryside.

So as you may know from a much earlier shot, I already explained my experience going to Arakurayama. How tiresome it was when the road was still closed. As I was descending back down I saw the torii gate I passed in the entrance and saw Fuji still had that morning sunlight on it. Along with all of Fujiyoshida spread out before it. I brought up my 200mm and then I made my move.

The one tradeoff was Fuji was still not as clear as I wanted it to be. But by now it's a normal chore to fix up Fuji in my shots so after a while of potentially overprocessing it I left that be and then worked on the rest of the image. I drained the highlights to take the focus off the city and the nearby hill I also removed bright elements from said hill so it wouldn't stand out. This is also my only shot where I centered Fuji instead of putting it on one side, hope you like the change cause I don't think this is one I'm going to return to.

For Smile on Saturday!:-)

The theme this week is 'Over-processed'

For Smile on Saturday 5th December 2020

I am a complete novice at photoshop and have no idea as to how I got to this final image, but I quite liked the effect.

This one of the first places I did in hdr, you can find it on my stream if you have look. I wont tell you which one it is, I am a bit embarrassed of the results, but im kinda glad that I got a bit better handling the camera and the results in photomatix look a lot better these days.

Near Cherokee, NC.

I had rented a Canon 15-85 lens for our trip to the Great Smoky Mtn National Park so I could get a "better" lens. I had read great reviews. I was a pretty inexperienced photographer at the time. Anyway, my shots from that trip are mostly terrible. Most are out of focus so I've had to overprocess them to hide the terribleness. Lesson learned.

Here is another shot from the Mingus Mill. Its a different angle from the shot below which is one of my all-time favorite shots. In fact, it's hanging 20x30 in canvas in my living room.

Shot with Nikon F2 Tri X film. Then Nikon D3100 over processed with Gimp and Raw studio.

Happy Sliders Sunday! Let's hear it for overprocessing.

St Monan's, Fife

My first attempt at reproducing an "over-processed" look

I don't have many owl images in my collection, the last shots were of Snowies, taken several years ago, so I was stoked to get a tip from a friend as to where these guys were seen.

After driving slowly up and down the roads in the vicinity for more than an hour and seeing only a couple of magpies, I was ready to call it a bust and had turned around to head for home, when I noticed two of them on fence posts.

I took a ton of shots, and was hoping for at least of couple of really good ones, but because of distance and likely some rust in shooting BIF, I came back with a few that I am very happy to have but nothing as detailed as I was hoping to get.

I will be posting three images, and while at first glance they may appear sharp, upon close inspection you will see that there is very little detail. Some careful processing has given illusion of detail and I have done my best to enhance what detail existed.

Having said all of that, they may look a bit overprocessed, and likely a bit oversaturated, but I tried to make them look the best I could with what I had to work with, and overall am very pleased to have them in my miniscule collection of Owls, and more importantly I thorougly enjoyed watching these guys fly, hover and hunt. It was a thrilling experience.

This one was shot with Sony a6000 and then I edited it in Lightroom Mobile to brighten the shadows and darken the highlights (and increase vibrancy a bit) to try to fix the issue with the dappled light and dark shadows that these photos all have initially. Now you can see the scene and the foliage better, but I'm still not satisfied because now it has a bit of an overprocessed or too-much-HDR look. I'm not against HDR in general, but for this scene I wish I could find a bit of a better balance. I'll have to play around some more.

Smile on Saturday Theme: "Over-Processed Clouds"

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.

OK, this is a departure for me. I do occasional HDR photos and I enjoy them. But I rarely go for anything that is overprocessed. This photo started taking on a feeling more of a painting than a photo at some point, so I just went with it. In the end, I love it! I really like this photo. Even though its not my typical HDR style, I think it is beautiful.

Just having fun with a windshield shot that I took today while my husband was driving through a tunnel in Chatt.Tn.

If you think this is annoyingly overprocessed, you certainly don't want the version that comes close to how I perceive it. Such ugliness. I'd maybe forgive it if they were for the 'net or something reasonable...

There are times that I find extensive post processing evokes a very different feel or mood from an image and sometimes I like the result.

Being more of a purist with photography, I seldom post these overprocessed images but I decided for 2012, I would post those images on what I have termed "Slider Saturday". These will be images that I have extensively moved the sliders in post processing.

If you ever wonder where the old VW Bugs went to, you can find many of them in Mexico. We found this one in San Miguel de Allende recently. This is processed in the spirit of Sliders Sunday. HSS!
