Picture 256

So......I have no more pictures. :'(
Well, good ones.
This one wasn't that good.

I had to go crazy on this one just to make it sort-of good.
This one was an old picture from when I took one-hundred pictures in two minutes.
Which was in April...so, not that long ago.
I should do one with all my things now.
But all my cameras are broken except for my sister, which I use for BTS, and my new one.
I do have another tripod though.
But other than that, it'll look the same. :-\
Anyways, on the way back for taking all those I snapped this one.
I look cool at the time....at the time.
That's why you haven't seen it.
If I really like it, I'll put it up right away.
Unless I like it to much and don't want to let it go.
I keep going off subject...FOCUS!!
ANYWAYS, this one looked nice on the camera...but on the computer...no.
And so, it sat there...waiting.
Now, we are at the present time!
Since I'm running dry on pictures, I'm looking though the old ones.
This was the only usable one.
Unless I get really creative....
As I said earlier, I had to do a lot to make this one pretty.
I should have made a BTS video, but I didn't. :-(
So, in Lightroom there are these settings:
Exposure (brightness)
Contrast
Highlights (blooming parts)
Shadows (shaded parts)
Whites
Blacks
Clarity (adds some sharpness)
Vibratence
Saturation
And that's all I need.
You can have many different outputs with them.
I have been using Lightroom for over a year now and it's always different.
Even thing starts off at 0 and can go from 100 to -100.
It's all about finding the right combo of numbers for what you want.
For this picture, I put contrast up to 100.
And then shadows, blacks, and saturation down to -100.
It wasn't going to be black and white.
It was a last minute thing like always.
After all that, it looked dark.
So, I put the highlights to 50.
And there we go.
We have a picture.
I also gave you a teaching lesson there. ;-)
And now we are at the good part!!!
THE COMPARISON!!
Just hover over the original, unedited version of the picture below to compare it to the edited one.

AMAZING!!

Well...I think that's it.

But there is something on my mind.

...

I'm getting worried.

I'm don't have any pictures.

And I don't have any ideas for new ones.

I have been doing a picture a week for over FOUR YEARS!!

I'm surprised I lasted this long.

This might be the end.

I'll try to make it to 300.

But that's another YEAR!!!

And that might be the end there too.

All signs are pointing to the end.

...

...

...the end...
