This is a pic of Mandy aggravated with me for taking too many pics hahaha.
I did a fair amount of postprocessing on this image to get this look. Let me know what you think.
The two women in my life caught napping.
Hand processed in gimp from a raw file off my camera. The photo was taken in low light, and I used fairly aggressive noise reduction.
Submission to PostProcess - not my own photo!!!
Original photo by JacobDavis, manipulation by me. (See also this thread over at the group.)
As I explained in the comments on this photo, I really dislike editing my own photos. At the same time, I ahhh.. I kind of can't stand it when people are totally anti-digital or anti-editing. Yes, I shoot film and yes, I prefer to edit my own photographs as little as possible, but I can appreciate the images that other people create with the help of Photoshop et al. And oh, yeah, I do love Photoshop.
Also: I believe some photos just require editing/manipulation. Or rather, there are situations that call for editing. E.g. I've recently had the chance to photograph at two events to which someone like me (= an 'amateur photographer') does not usually have 'access' - one was a fashion show, the other one was the premiere of a musical (photos to follow..). Now, I only took these pictures for fun/for myself, but I did think/couldn't help thinking about.. the 'professional side' of it, i.e. about how the whole situation has to be totally different for someone who does these things professionally/for a living and how one's forced to adapt to one's circumstances if that's the case. Of course all these pro photographers have WAY better (and more, and more modern) equipment than I do (and of course they all shoot digital), but well, you only have so much control over 'live situations'.
I shot some of rolls on both occasions, and even though I did manage to take a couple of photos that I'm really pleased with, I probably wouldn't (couldn't!) use (sell! - since I'm already talking about the 'professional side' of things) them "as is" for e.g. publication in a (high-quality) magazine, or a comp card. Nope. They'd have to get 'touched up' first. And that's OK because that's just how things work. Everybody does it/has to do it. Bla bla bla.
Okay, what was my point? Ah, yeah: that editing isn't bad. :P
Editing can actually be really neat. And fun. Yes, I'm having FUN editing those photos in order to make them look 'better' and more 'professional'. Or just cool.
Over and out.
My interpretation of the original photo posted by decade null for the Weekly Spotlight #10 at the PostProcess Group for editing by the group members.
Responding to a Shutter Sisters thread here.
This one obviously needed some help, as the miracle of my girls getting along in the tub distracted me a good deal. Using PS Elements 7, I corrected the color cast, adjusted the levels to brighten the whole thing, cropped, and cloned out the redness in my daughter's right eye, then desaturated the reds, which I think enhances the innocence factor.
There is a sprig of lavender starting to bloom in this abstract:) Taken with a macro lens (unsuccessfully), then experimented on in Photoshop CS3. I had trouble with the frame for this one, since it kept giving me the opposite color from what I selected. Then I began to realize that one of the gradient layers was causing this to happen but I didn't want to give up the work it was doing for the rest of the image. Strange but true:)

I like the big painting on the wall of my favorite hometown restaurant; every time, when I'm sitting there, I'm considering, which of my own photos would fit well at the same place...
At Tower Hill Botanical Gardens, a lovely lily pond...finally a chance to get close enough to expose the lilies properly...
