Picture 368

So, today was exciting!
One step closer to actually doing something!
It's wonderful!

Of course, I'm talking about college!
We filled out all the FAFSA stuffa.
Hehe, stuffa.
Anyways! It's all good news so far!
Sorry if this lost gets a bit short.
I'm not feeling so good.
It just hit me!
I've just been relaxing, taking it easy.
Nothing really happened.
Simple, boring week.
Except for today!
I should be able to go to school in the Fall.
I hope so.
I should stop talking about before something happens!
In my week of relaxing, I made a picture.
Because I could.
I had this idea, and I wanted to get it done before I start the Park Series….Part Two.
It snowed… A lot.
I mentioned it last week.
It's the groundhog’s fault.
I wanted to show the snow!
I have been uploading little pictures of the snow here and there.
But I wanted a picture picture.
Which is what these are.
So, I thought about it and had this idea!
Re-do Picture 307……but with snow!
So, that's what I did!
It was simple!
It did take to tries.
The snow slowed my down.
But I got what I wanted!
And for the editing, I wanted to do it like the old days.
Since this was a callback to the past, I wanted to work with my old program.
Even though I used Lightroom for 307.
I just wanted to see if could still make epic pictures with what little I had back in the day.
And….. I failed.
The picture look terrible.
I missed Lightroom!
So, I went back to it!
Oh well, I tried.
For the coloring, I didn't want to go overboard.
But I had too because I blended in with the brick wall.
I had to make me stand out more.
So, some saturation and shadow brightening worked just fine!
I brought the highlights down a bit so the snow wasn't to bright.
Then some contrast and clarity to seal the deal!
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.

After

Now, the BTS video is actually short!
I was five minutes of me shooting the picture and then eight of me editing it.
So, only 13 minutes total!
Better than an hour!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
That's all!
This was a short post.
Sorry, I'm just not in the mood to type!
I'll talk more about the school stuff next week.
So……..
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
