Iron

Lately I've been having computer problems...it hasn't gotten any better. today my computer took a full on nose dive! The worst part is that was the computer that had my CS5 and other editing software! Ugh! So now I'm faced with a dilemma, should I post fillers until the computer gets repaired next week or challenge myself to do a week SOOC! SOOC!!! I feel totally naked without editing my photos!
So for starters here is a filler shot from an old blacksmiths shop I visited in Old Town...completely processed like I like it...
Challenge!!!!!!!
Sorry your computer is broke :((

While the processing ROCKS on this shot, I'd really like to see a week of sooc! I'm tempted to do one myself:)
October 18th, 2011  
Oh no! So sorry to hear about your computer! I hope things get resolved soon!! Cool shot though!
October 18th, 2011  
@pwallis You do it, I'll do, Paula! ;)
October 18th, 2011  
what a dilemma! whatever choice you make, i will look forward to seeing your work.
October 18th, 2011  
@orangecrush do I have to start tomorrow though? Cause I already have an edited shot ready for tomorrow which I'm rather fond of:)
October 18th, 2011  
@pwallis Lol! No, I have so many fillers I could fill a month! :D I'll post a challenge just in case anyone wants to join in the fun! ;)

@orangecrush sounds fun! I'm up for that.

Awesome shot.. I have a shot of the blacksmith from the Apple Festival on Sunday, but this is kewl.. the tones of the rust of the scorching from the fire.. and that brick backdrop.. I need a farrier.. soon.. :-)... I hope that you can rescue your computer.. I hate when that happens!!!
October 18th, 2011  
I say get naked and go SOOC! I love this tweaked shot though--it's subtle and the composition looks like the blacksmith just stepped away for a moment! :-)
October 18th, 2011  
Love all your details and shapes here. (what a drag about your computer....!)
October 18th, 2011  
Cool shot
October 18th, 2011  
Love this - nice industrial feel! Hope your computer recovers!
October 18th, 2011  
nicely presented, you can always edit in Picnic
October 18th, 2011  
Your shots are so awesome, I would bet SOOC is just as amazing! Love this filler with the colors and the textures!! Hope you are able to get your computer up to par soon. I couldn't imagine how frustrating that must be!
October 18th, 2011  
ohhhh... I am feeling your pain!
October 18th, 2011  
Great shot. I am with you though, I love to edit my photos too. Hope your computer is fixed soon.
October 18th, 2011  
Fantastic shot! I wouldn't mind seeing some SOOC from you though! :]

@cheyrebecca Thank you, Cheyenne!
@eliserose781 Thank you, Elise! I wish I knew more about these things! I've got a young kid I know coming over to fix it. He'll probably finish in 10 min while chatting on his iPhone! ;)
@stepheesue Thank you so much, Steph! I could use the encouragement!
@luvshorses Thanks so much, Carol! I hate that too!
@lorihiro Lol! Thanks, Lori! :D

@bullion3 Thanks, Melissa! I might not have a choice! It might be kind of fun!
October 18th, 2011  
Grungy awesomness! Hope that 'puter gets well soon. I know what you mean about that naked feeling. I mean it's gotta start good SOOC, but dangit, the camera doesn't capture everything just right, does it?!
October 18th, 2011  
@aikiuser I use to think processing wasn't real photography until I really got in to photography! ;P Thanks, Jenn! We'll see how it goes!
October 18th, 2011  
Great image
October 18th, 2011  
lol, great HDR and yes, once you've learned to process photographs have so many more dimensions
October 18th, 2011  
I love that anvil. I have my father's
October 18th, 2011  
I'm also having computer issues, Jerry. I have to wait for my husband to get home so I can use his laptop and by 9pm, I'm shattered so can't be bothered. Maybe I'll join you in the SOOC thing for a while....
October 18th, 2011  
fantastic anvil (and the rest)....great composition!

Sorry about your computer troubles, it is awful to be without a computer. This is a great photo!
October 18th, 2011  
Nice shot, the processing really brings out the textures :)
October 18th, 2011  
This is great! Awesome editing! Bummer about your computer; I can relate to feeling naked without editing software
October 18th, 2011  
This is great, fabulous editing! But some SOOC will be interesting to see ;)
October 18th, 2011

October 18th, 2011  
you are brilliant my friend....you know that right.....thanks for your post. xo

What ever happened to the art of taking a beautiful picture exactly how it exists in reality? Look at all the stunning pictures before digital was ever around. Processing and digital has spoiled us.
October 18th, 2011  
Awesome!
October 18th, 2011  
love this shot!
I would love to see your photos sooc.......i know they are great without processing!!
October 18th, 2011  
Awesome shot - love the composition, colors and processing - just fabulous.
October 18th, 2011

Stunning processing Jerry.. I hope you sort out the pc issues soon
October 18th, 2011  
love this shot Jerry - agh to PC problems. Shooting without editing feels so weird when you are used to doing it! love the colours and textures in this
October 19th, 2011  
The same thing happened - but I got a computer virus and it took some of my photos with it. Go SOOC - it can only expand your wonderful talents.
October 19th, 2011
