Picture 260

So, this is the part three of seven of my Fall pictures.

I have done two other ones so far.

Here they are: ONE and TWO.

This one is much better than last weeks.

It's got more color!

The story is slowly unfolding.

The ones that I took on the second day tell more of a story.

1- I'm walking in blah greenness and dead leaves.

2- I continue walking and start to see color.

3- I see the woods.

You can tell which ones are on different days by looking at my coat.

One has my red coat, and the other has my old orange coat.

Not to get confused with my new orange coat. ;-)

It's a good thing I took all these pictures a head of time.

We just had a huge cold air mass move down from Canada.

It snowed....SNOWED!!

And it was windy.

So, all the trees have no leaves anymore....NONE!

At least, in my area.

I did take one more picture the day before.

I found just one more ending picture.

It'll completely complete the story.

It rained the next day and the snowed that night.

So, it's a good thing I got it done.

This week's picture is better from the last.

It's got more COLOR!

Well, just yellow with a hint of orange.

Yellow is the main color from this point.

That's all the trees where.

YELLOW!!

Well, that text was more of a gold color.

I tried yellow and you couldn't see it with the white background. :-P

I check before I post.

The picture was mostly yellow but I added A LOT of saturation.

I made everything that wasn't Fall colors faded.

But that was just a little.

My pants where to blue, there was purple highlights everywhere.

That's why the trees way in the background have a small black and white spot.

Making the saturation and contrast all crazy makes some weird things happen.

It's hard to balance it out...quickly.

Like in five minutes.

I like easy and quick things.

It's hard to focus at a screen for a long time working on anything.

Unless I'm really excited about what I'm working on.

Like Picture 250.

That took a while, but I loved what I was making so much the time flew by.

Anyways, I can't think of what else to say.

All that's left is the comparison.

Hover of the original picture below to compare the before and after.

Amazing!!

I love it when a picture has a strong before and after.

I rarely use a picture that hasn't been edited.

In fact...I don't think I have ever done that.

Hmmm.....

Well, come back next week for part four.
