Picture 321

So, once again it's Wednesday and it's time for a picture!
I was so happy last week.
Notice....I said was.
I'll save all that for the end.
Everything is still going fine.
Work is working.
Life is living.
I can't really think of what to say.
Like I said....I was happy.
And when I'm not...you get short blog posts because I don't feel like talking.
Ok. On to the picture.
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, 314, 315, 317, 318,319, and 320.

I usually put the video at the bottom, but there's already another one down there. ;-)
Moving on, this picture almost looked like this...

I haven't done anything weird off colors in a while.
But I didn't go with it.
Maybe some day I'll do a series where everything of all off color.
Anyways, I went back to my normal saturation and contrast changes.
I didn't do to much clarity because it made everything too fine and detailed.
All the blades of grass where super sharp and messing with my eyes.
So, I turned it down.
That's really all I did.
I didn't do to much for this one.
The other plan I had was mirroring it.
But, I try not to do that too much.
Even though....I really love it!
I just love mirroring things.
I've been doing it to my old pictures.
Remixing them.
I've found my style.
That's why I do it so much.
It's awesome!
TO THE COMPARISONS!

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 for fun.
Compare the off color one with the normal one.

AMAZING!!
It looks interesting.
Both versions.
This one turned out nicely.
Just wait though...it gets better.
You'll see in the special video I have.
OH! Before I forget!
Let's try the Image Slider.
Here's how it works...
There's a blue bar in the middle of the picture.
That's the slider.
The slider will disappear when you move your mouse off of the image.
I did that so you can really see the split.
But, it'll come back when you hover over it again.
You can CLICK on it and DRAG it around to get our on split image.
Or, you can use these presets.
Before FULL, After FULL, 50/50, Before a QUARTER, or After a QUARTER.

Before

After

Fascinating!
Ok, the video.
It has a long story, so listen.
I have mentioned this photo contest that I was doing.
I was all excited then leading up to it and then....I stopped talking about it.
Here it is in the news.
Well, the reason is because...I lost.
I didn't win anything.
That's what had me all upset.
I mean, I shouldn't really worry about.
I know what I'm doing.
The judges were just crazy!
I lost to a shopping cart full of corn.....
It was so weird.
I just can't explain it.
So watch the video.
It's long a covers the whole two months of preparing for the contest.
And then I rant at the end....but I cut most of that out.

COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
