Overprocessed....Just for fun!

I don't mess with HDR very much, but this series of shots cried for it. I tried not to overprocess it too much.

Overgrown and a bit overprocessed on my part

Still insanely overprocessed but it's better than the first try.

Note to self - Taking time to get a descent pic in the first place probably wouldn't hurt.

So. Much. Fun.

They are.

Even the tough times turn quickly when you are dealing with the future.

5 minutes with them is all it takes.

A glimpse, a look.

Word.

Sometimes just 5 seconds,

Prepare to be inspired

and laugh, till you cry.

Around 1984-1985, I was trying to ink a drawing, probably one from the Scarecrow series, and I stop to clean the pen with a blank paper. Black ink on a piece of white folded paper.

yeah, i know, the editing is actually horrible.

I first got inspired by words on skin. Then I wanted to talk about scars. Then the scar didn't show up very well, I cropped it, I layered, I displaced, overlayed, I masked, I un-did , I re-did, Then I did some more.

Then I got tired.

I think I need to get better at figuring out what I want my finished product to look like; because for the past few days I have just sat down with no intention of a final product and then just clicked buttons and tried news things and see what things do and read one too many tutorials.

Reflections in the fountain. Overprocessed to look painterly.

Clouds were being uncooperative today. I liked the smoke-looking ones anyways.

Today was one of the days when I was not happy with any of the shots I took, so I ended up over-processing one that seemed to me to be more "interesting".

On a side-note, I'm trying to learn how to use Photoshop. I'm finding it difficult and very frustrating.

overprocessed, i know.

i just was entirely too bored not to do something fun.

I have a disease, Im obsessed with taking photos and later fucking them up in photoshop. The thing is I have no eye for composition, I have no talent, I have nothing besides my dying n95 and crappy EOS 88. The photos you see in this set are completely pointless, meaningless and rather ugly, their only purpose is to sedate me for a little while till my shutter finger starts twitching again.

this is actually a regular cloud in the sky, but I overdid the values and decided to rotate it; it reminded me of a cloud in the ocean; perhaps animals spawning or a geyser of some sort

i don't care much for cars, or the garish, overprocessed pictures people often make of them. nevertheless, i couldn't resist having a little fun and going (way) over the top with this one (aster egg in the license plate).

BC Highway 97, The Cariboo Highway. This picture is also ridiculously overprocessed to show you the sky, because it did more or less look like that.

It's sometimes a bit of a shock, seeing what you can do with a few simple tools.

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?

m, lucy, and i went to the beach this morning. it was blustery, but that kind of march blustery where the wind is cool but not biting and the sun is warm, almost hot even.

Probably could've taken a few more before we left. Oh well.

Seen this in all its rain soaked saturation and the full arc from mine on the way to pick up the hub from work. By the time I got down to Larne, it was dwindling. This was the best that I got and even then, its a bit overprocessed. But you get the gist.

Taken at sunset on Sept 18, 2008 a mere 26 days after FINALLY getting a photograph on Aug 23. Have no idea what they're up to... As in the first, overprocessed in Topaz.

I've never been in love with this shot. But I can't throw it out either :/

Overprocessed nonsense

this is overdone, overprocessed, unoriginal,

i hate it

late. and cheating.

Pushed the saturation, contrast and tone on this to be like an impressionist painting.

Thought id try and experiment a bit with some different colours. Let me know what you think!

I couldn't brighten this ISO 1600 shot without blowing out the background and introducing a lot of noise in the foreground... but then I saw I had a "look" going and went all out, intentionally burning out the shadows and highlights and then oversharpening it to accentuate the noise. There you go. :)

View it large. The downscaling here almost makes it look normal.

I highly processed this shroom, just for the effect. I know it's over processed but I think it is still worth sharing because of it's psychadelic nature.

I def overprocessed this one, and the next one I'm putting up. But I liked them better this way, w/ the higher contrast. Sooooo, there you have it.

A cactus flower, from my Dad's greenhouse, this summer. I found this when idly deleting old stuff. The bit of leaf distresses me as it makes it look wildly overprocessed, but it was like that when it plopped out of the camera. I've just tweaked the tones and contrast a bit.
