Picture 323

So....yeah.....hmmmm
This week was just an ordinary week.
I work...I eat....I sleep.
Ok, there might have been other things happening.
But my brain isn't working right now.
I've been having sleeping issues.
I'd lay down at midnight and just....lay there.
I'd be soooo tired.
Like right now.
I only had four hours of sleep.
My eyes are getting heavy.
But if I go to bed....I'd just lay there....
It's weird.
Anyways...ummm...hmmm....
I'm thinking of what to say.
..........
It's supposed to snow again!
I was out last week in the storm getting video and pictures.
And the videos were at 60 fps. ;-)
Make sure you load that video link in 1080pHD. :-)
Now we are just getting simple lake effect snow.
Boring lake effect.
I'll try to get some sort of picture....or something.
NOW! 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, 320, 321, and 322.
This, along with last week, was my favorite part.
Being next to all that water.
Hearing it flow.
It was awesome.
I wish I had my new camera then.
60fps WATER!
And then my next camera can do 1200fps.
That's suppppper slow.
It looks ok too.
Not the best quality.
But, the slower you go, the worse it gets.
Moving on, this picture was a part of the photo contest I did.
Well...actually it wasn't.
It was one of the pictures that got cut.
We could only turn in nine.
I didn't choose it because..it looked boring.
I mean...the colors and things.
It was bland.
The third day of our walks was pretty cloud and cold.
Bland weather.
That's why I have been doing a lot of saturation and mirroring.
I'm trying to make things EPIC!
SPEAKING OF MIRRORING!
I did it to this picture if you couldn't tell! :-P

Mirroring is when I take a half of an image of and flip it, then line it back up with the other half.
That was a rough explanation....
You can see what I mean in the picture above.

This time I did an extra step.

The first mirror is horizontal.

Then, I combine the two into a layer and mirror it again vertically.

But that was the last step.

It was an idea that popped up when we were choosing the pictures.

I think we should have done it and put it in.

Instead of the other one we picked.

Because I like this one.

That's just my opinion.

Which is the one that counts. HAHA!!

Oh well, missed opportunity.

But besides the mirroring, the other changes where just contrast.

COMPARE AND SEE!

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!!
The mirroring did help spice things up.
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

Ok, that's about it.
I do really like this one.
The place and the pictures we go where great.
I can't wait to go again!
ON TO THE VIDEO!
The last BTS video in the series only had the walks from Day One and Two.
But on Day Three, I recorded a lot more than I should have. :-P
It was 68 minutes uncut.
I got that down to 27 minutes.
But then I wanted to add an update about the Photo Contest stuff at the end.
SO, I added that.
But that was recorded weeks ago.
So, I wanted another more recent update.
Overall the video time came out to 45 minutes.
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
OK! Now I'm done.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
