Picture 315

So, this week's been a bit blah for me.
Rainy work days...I feel tired....I'm just...blah.
So, today I've just been relaxing.
Enjoying my day off.
I need to think of a Christmas picture and stuff before it's too late.

I'm excited for this season!
I like PRESENTS!
But, I've already been told I'm not getting a lot.
Everyone's out of money.
I haven't even thought about anything for anybody..... :-\
Maybe I should.
I'm a little short on money too.
I bought something that was a little too much....

That's a new camera.
I LOVE IT!
It does have a few setbacks, but it's still really awesome!
I've just been playing around with it.
But so far, it's producing some good stuff.
I need more lens.
More to come in the future!
This week I went simple again.
This was during our walks that my Aunt and I did through some pretty nature trails.
The series also contains Pictures 310, 311, 312, 313, and last week's 314.
There's still a lot more to come of that as well.
My Aunt was happy about this one.
She liked this part of the trail because of the little bamboo looking.....grass.......things.
They were like blades of glass.
Just all bundled out into tubes.
They were strange.
So, I had to get a picture.
And there was a path.
It worked out nicely!
Moving on to the colors, I wanted it to have a dream like quality.
So, I turned clarity all the way down.
However, I still wanted some good shadows and color.
So, I bumped contrast up by half and added some SUPER-DUPER SATURATION!!
I double saturated it.
I love it!
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.

AMAZING!!
All the colors!!
There's at least one of each.
And they stand out too.
Orange and yellow did get a bit dimmed out.
You can still see them though.
OK THAT'S ALL!
I'll add the Making of video here again.
I didn't record the actual coloring of the picture.
These are just a series of videos that I recorded during our walks through trails.
We have walked three days.
The video has the first two.
I cut the third day because I got the most video then.
And I haven't gotten to the pictures.
Just like I'm only through half of day two's pictures.
You'll see the other half in the video.
It's 18 minutes, 30 seconds long...
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 

Sorry for the short post.
I can't think of things to say anymore.
Writers block.
And I'm enjoying my day off.
No time to spend sitting....typing...
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
