Picture 350!

So…..I have had a busy week.
I didn't do a picture last week.
Why?
I lost my mind.
I did.
It ran away.
It's gone.
Poof.
Like magic.
All gone.
I made this craziest video when it happened.
I haven't uploaded it yet.
I'm scared too.
I had to edit it.
Watching it back, I was like….”wow, I'm crazy.”
It's true.
I didn't like it.
But I did like it.
It was real.
My true form come out.
It was weird.
My inner mind come out.
My inner self.
IT WAS WEIRD!
But it's all good now.
All that was last Monday…night.
My mind exploded at 2 am and made a video.
The next morning, I found it on the outside patio.
Where I like to sit.
After I got my mind together, I went along with the family to Indianapolis!
They left Wednesday morning.
And we spend the day down there.
So, I didn't upload a picture then.
And I stayed an extra day after that.
We were having fun and I didn't want to upload a picture.
So, we are on Friday now.
I was thinking of what to do.
I had this crazy video made.
Do I upload it?
How will the blog post go?
I just couldn't think of what to do.
So…I didn't do anything.
I decided to just take a week off.
Let my mind truly heal.
I have been relaxing.
Playing some PS3 and 4.
Just relaxing.
And that's that.
There is much more to talk about.
But I don't think it's the right time.
Maybe when I upload the crazy video.
There are so touchy subjects that I bring out.
Thinks that have been locked away in my brain.
Thinks that I didn't want to come up.
That’s also why I don't want to upload it.
It's a really weird, crazy, dark video.
Dark because the first part has the lights off in my room. :-P
It just has a lot of negativity.
I hate that.
But it was me in the moment.
I'll have to make it a special picture.
A dark picture of my inner me.
Maybe…
We'll see what I come up with. 
However, I will mention my job situation.
There isn't one….
Yet!
It's the reason why the post was delays a day.
After being delayed a whole week.
First, my mind wasn't in the right spot.
Then Tuesday, I was busy!
I was at Wally World and other places.
Then, Wednesday night…the boss called!
Right when I was going to finish this posts and upload the picture.
So, instead of calling back, I just went back and talked in person.
I'm better at talking in person.
Anyways, she wanted me to come for an interview today.
Which means! I'm in!
Well, not really.
Like the first time I went in, they interview you and set an orientation date later.
They'll called me some time.
If I get hired, that is.
 It’s always a waiting game.
So, yeah…..that’s that.
ON TO THE PICTURE!
I am in the middle of a series about fog!
There’s Picture 348 and 349.
This one wasn't that hard to do.
While setting up the first picture, I saw this one in mind.
Because I was walking down the road.
It looked pretty.
So, after I made the last week’s picture I quickly made this one.
There were a lot of cars in the way though.
There wasn't anything going on at the church…I think.
They just knew I was trying to make a picture and wanted to be in the way.
Anyways, it was very simple.
Run down the road!
And I didn't have to run that far.
Last week I had to go down a whole hill!
And that was that!
Simple.
For the coloring, I didn't do much.
I did all the same things for last picture.
I just realized that I have been saying “last week”.
The last picture wasn't last week!
Distractions!
I boosted the highlights and whites up to make the fog more…foggy.
I also boosted up the shadows so you can see me.
Lastly my usual saturation, contrast, and clarity.
Oh! And the orange effect.
I changed the pictures color temperature.
That's the standout feature in this part of the series.
Most of my picture have many bright colors.
But there are usually cold in temperature.
There’s more blue then the others.
If you look close.
That's what makes these special.
They are warm!
Like me right now!
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 compare the this uncropped/unstraightened version with the original.
You can see the changes better.

AMAZING!!
Just what I wanted!
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 all for Picture 350!
Wow.
350.
Ever since 257 and 300, I have been talking about the end.
I was running out of ideas and things.
I was getting burnt out.
Doing something every week for five years is hard!
It was five years at the time.
And now, here I am.
350 pictures and approaching SEVEN YEARS!
It'll be seven years for my Pictures in October.
I started to really doing them by making this blog and EVERYTHING ELSE in March.
I get a little teary eyed going back and looking at the beginning.
I'm teary because the pictures were bad and hard to look at.
They hurt my eyes.
But as you go through them, you see me get older and they get better!
It's beautiful!
Now we go on to the future!
I would bring up the end again, but I'll just keep going!
I haven't stopped yet!
I am taking more breaks though.
Like last week!
We all need a break here and there.
Alright, that's all.
There's no BTS video.

I'll upload it next week for the final picture of the series!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
