Picture 270

So, it's still snowing.

But this is the last picture I have of winter.

And this one wasn't easy to pick.

Well, the picture was, but there were different versions of it.

I went through a creative blast and just messed around.

Here's what I got...

I really wanted to do the one of the orange ones.

Compare them here to Picture 270...
This one was made with my normal program Lightroom.

But, I wanted it to almost look like picture 119.
So, I used the original program, but on my new computer.
It came out different.

Since it wasn't the same, I took some desperate measures.
I used my used my old program on my old computer.
And it actually looked like picture 119.
Sort of.

Now compare it to picture 119.
I didn't want to do this because of the size differences, but whatever. :-P

THAT WAS FUN!
I liked them, but I thought it would be a bit too much.
I can't go crazy colors all the time.

So, I just stuck with the call back to Picture 268 and 119.
Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original before editing picture and see the after editing one.

AMAZING!!

I like re-doing what I have done after a while.
But having it look like 268 is strange to me.
It is in a series, but I like them all to be different.

I can't do it all the time, though.
I'm running out of original ideas.

Well, original to me.

I'm sure I copied someone out there without knowing.

But then, that's where this creative vibe kept going.

I decided that I should try to get inspired by other things.

I look at a lot of pictures.

And I'm like " OH!! I should have done that!!"

Well, why can't I.

I'm not going to directly copy them.

I'll just take the idea from that and mold it to me liking.

I thought of a bundle of picture I wanted to do and made a secret list.

Here it is, copied and pasted...

Edited Dec 9

Pictures to finish/ideas...

1) Silhouette

2) Edges

3) Light

4) Suns

5) Imagine

6) Waiting

7) Wasting

8) Earths

9) Me's

Well, those are a bit tricky to decode.

Most of them are what you are thinking.

That list of ideas will take HEAVY Photoshopping.

The biggest projects I have thought of.

Well, a few are easy.

There are in order from easiest to hardest.

I'm going to go ahead and shoot all the pictures and then go through edit them.

I have Silhouette and Suns shot, just waiting to be put together.

And the next is Edges since it's actually the easiest if I get the coloring right.

After those, the all get really big.

And of course, I'll be doing BTS videos for each picture.

Not just one long one at the end of the series.

OH THAT REMINDS ME!!

There's a BTS video this week that covers the Winter pictures, the last three.

Unless I make more, but that'll be a different BTS video.

Anyways, you can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 

So, I had fun.
I shot that when it was reallllyyy cold.
But, it was still fun.

I'll be adding more pictures to the to-do list over time.

And the ones on this list won't be uploaded anytime soon.

It took me like two years to upload Picture 250.
I like my pictures.
I hate to see them go.
