Picture 360

So! Ummm…
HI!
How's life?
How's the world?
I have been ignoring the world because people are annoying me.
They get all ruffled about anything.
No need to tell that story.

I've been good!
Just living life.
Trying to get a job.
Which I guess is impossible for me now.
I've been cursed.
I call, they are busy.
I come in….they are busy.
All they were going to do was call me and set up an interview time.
I guess that's very difficult.
Fine.
I'll just slowly get sued by all the people I owe money too.
It's already starting.
I'm going to get snappy and I don't like being snappy.
I will bust my way into the back and see if they are busy.
I'm past my calm point.
Ok….breathe.
Other than that, it been all good!
I worked on some things.
I'm planning for Christmas.
Oh! That reminds me.
I forgot about the worst news ever.
I was shooting a video with my train.
I was having a load of fun since I have the GoPro.
See!

I used the slo mo cam to just get some extra footage of the GoPro on it.
For a different angle.
Like a BTS video of that video.
And the fact that I used the slo mo cam reminded me of something bad!
I killed it!
The day after I came back all happy and finally uploaded a picture….I killed it.
See!
I get all happy and back to normal and then something happens that knocks me back down.
I was walking through the kitchen.
I have the slo mo cam and the GoPro sitting on my iPad.
I use it as a little tray to carry things.
I was going through and then….boop.
The slo mo cam falls off.
And I was conveniently walking by the dog’s water bowl.
It fell right in.
Splash!
……AHHHHHHHHH!
Sh…..oot!
I plucked it out, took off the lens, and popped the battery and SD card out.
I dried it off and gave it CPR.
Nothing.
I rubbed my hands together….
CLEAR!
ZAP!
Nothing.
It was pronounced dead at high noon.
I made a bed for it.
I turned on all the electronics in my room and placed it in little warm pocket.
I went out into the waiting room.
It laid there for five hours.
I came in and put it all back together.
I hit the on button and it lit up green!
Oh!
But….nothing else happened.
It was officially dead.
I cried.
But then I remembered……
WARRANTY!
I was still under for two months.
I sent in a claim to get it fix and it was approved!
I sent it that night to the camera hospital.
I arrived Monday and I got an email Tuesday that it was “in line to get repaired”.
I haven’t heard anything else yet.
So, that sad story is almost good.
Hopefully it gets better and I have it back in my hands.
Well!
 That was a story.
I think that's all about my week.
Let's get onto the picture!
This is the last picture in the water series.
It's finally over!
But that means…
You get to the see BTS video that I almost didn't want to upload.
That's up why it took so long for this to get done.
I made all of this at the end of August!
The video was really complicated.
I had to sync four videos and all the picture….it was hurt.
I had to pre-render everything every time I made an adjustment.
Plus….that video was weird to me!
I don't know why.
Anyways! Here we go.
For the final picture, I saved the best one for last.
This was the best out of the bunch.
It was the last picture of the day I think….
No! It was the first.
I accidentally had the GoPro on burst mode.
So, it took 30 pictures in one second.
It surprised me.
That's why the original looks different and low quality.
It changes the light settings and things to make it possible to do 30 in one second.
But, I didn't let that stop me!
It wasn't that hard to work on.
I had the others to go by.
The series had its own look.
I try to do that for every picture.
I just did a lot of clarity and contrast.
I turned the saturation down and changed the color temperature to cool.
I think I did a little bit more than that.
I can't remember!
It wasn't to bad.
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!!
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

ALRIGHT!
Here we go!
The is an HOUR AND 15 MINUTES long and covers the whole process of making the pictures.
It's a long video!
It was a two-day shoot and it has me editing each picture.
It was a lot to go through!
But, it is done.
It took 7 hours to upload!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
Ok! There it is!
If you watched it, thanks!
Tell me that it wasn't weird and I'm over reacting.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
I have the park videos and pictures allll done and ready to go!
That’s the other things I was working on.
It’s all done and split into two days.
Last time we did three days.
But there were only two videos because two of the days were short.
This time, they weren’t.
They were two packed days of fun!
It was great!
I’ll start with Day One’s pictures.
On the last one, I’ll upload the 32 minute BTS video.
Then I’ll do the same for Day Two.
It’s BTS video is 59 ½ minutes!
Almost an hour!
I did a lot of underwater things and I didn’t cut any of it out.
Ok, I left most of it in there.
In the middle of all this, I should be in contest territory.
I do something special for that.
