Picture 369

So! How's life?
Things have been going great for me!
Well, sort of.

Nothing happened.
We did all that stuffa last week.
I did get an email saying that I was accepted to IVY Tech.
I'll get a letter in the real mail with all the details.
It’s exciting!
I can't remember if I explained everything last week.
I'm going to college.
It’ll be for two years and the courses and dual credit.
So, I should have two associate degrees when I'm done.
It hopefully will all be online.
Or else…. I’ll need to steal a car.
And it should all be paid for!
Should!
Things are still being worked out.
When I get the letter, I'll have to in and actually set up my classes.
I'll probably have to take basic Math and English over again.
Blah….
There's a reason why I didn't do good the first time!
But like I said, it's official…but it's not.
When EVERYTHING is all done, I'll spill the details.
(fast forward a day)
Hi!
It's Wednesday now.
We are in a snowstorm!
How delightful!
I have the GoPro set up to get a time-lapse of it piling up!
Anyways! The school called today.
It was an automated voice saying that we need to go in and talk to someone to get everything set up.
Which, I already knew!
I didn't check the mail to see if I got my letter…..
……hold on…..
Ew.
This isn't fluffy snow.
It's heavy rain/snow.
My sister is getting off early from work.
They are closing the day care because of the weather.
There's also some travel bans going out.
Two weeks ago, it was snowing.
Last week…. It was 60 degrees outside.
Now…..it's snowing again.
Whatever.
I didn't get anything in the mail.
Oh well.
That's not the exciting part though!
I filled out an application to Toys R Us as a part of getting medical aid.
Well, today I got a call from Babies R Us!
They wanted to know if I'd like to work there instead!
So, long story short, I have an interview on Saturday!
Things are getting better for me!
This is my year!
I think I said that last year.
Whatever!
We’ll see what next week holds.
What else happened.
Hmmmm…
Nothing that exciting.
Things seem to only happen on Wednesdays.
Onto the picture!
This week is the start of the second phase of Park Pictures.
This second part isn't that exciting.
We got most of the goods ones on the first day.
With and without me.
However, the third place picture was made on this day.
We just didn't try as hard as we did.
It was hard.
The park was kind of busy.
Which is why we focused on underwater things.
There was more water to play with.
Anyways, I wanted more than those first six from the first day.
So, I looked at what I had from the second day.
There were only four good ones.
I did a little more experimentation to make them work.
One of them doesn't even have me in it!
Just my hand.
This was the only good one out of the bunch.
The others were taken from the GoPro while it was underwater.
This one was actually set up.
I had my Aunt push the button for me!
I was pretty far away.
I had to do it twice!
But overall, I looked nice.
For the coloring, I didn't want to go overboard!
Like the other pictures.
Maybe I should have.
I just did the same things I did with the other pictures.
Same brightness, contrast, and clarity.
I didn't do too much with the saturation.
Just enough to make it POP!
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

Ok! That's all.
You’ll have to wait four weeks for the final BTS video of the series!
I'll probably have a monthly update video next week.
This one’s a long one!
Four hours un-edited!
Hopefully I’ll get it cut down!
……..
I never shared January’s video.
Oops!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
I forgot to mention I bought some film for my old-school camera.
OOPS!
