Picture 312

So, it's cold.
Like 31, feels like 21. :-|
Which means these nature trail hikes aren't going to be that much fun.

These past few weeks, my Aunt and me have been going on some walks down some trails.
I have made some EPIC pictures along the way.
Here's the first and here's the second.
There's a lot more to come.
ANYWAYS!! This one was tricky one.
My Aunt was sitting on the bench while I was off taking other pictures.
When I got back, she thought of this idea while sitting there.
If I sat in the right spot it'll look like a wooden frame.
So, I went with it.
And this was the first time in a long time that I didn't push the shutter button.
She did.
It's nice to have extra help.
After a little bit of trying and me running back and forth over a dangerous terrain, we finally got it.
For the editing, I wanted it to stand out from the others.
The only way to do that it BLACK AND WHITE!
But if I did it complete like that, I get lost in the photo.
So, I did some selective coloring.
I selected only me, and made everything else B&W.
Then, over in Lightroom, I went all crazy.
Super contrast and clarity.
I even when all super saturation too.
To make me POP!
And that's just about it.
LET'S COMPARE!!

Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original picture to see the after editing one.
If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.

Now, just compare the Lightroom changes.
This doesn't include the cropping so you can see things better.

And lastly, the straightening and cropping.

AMAZING!!
A very nice transformation there.
Now, this would be the part where I insert the BTS video.
But, once again...I don't have it.
I have been so busy that I haven't had any time to work on it.
I'm off tomorrow, so I'll have ALL DAY to work on it.
It should be ready for next week.
So.........

COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
