Picture 370

So! How's it going?
Whachadoin?
You're reading this!
That's what!

What am I doing you ask?
(I'm hoping you asked, I just guessing.)
Well, I had a wonderful day!
Today was my first day in the job!
It was just the orientation.
Training starts of Friday!
And for school, I got all the online stuff set up.
I still need to go in and talk to people!
I'm waiting to see if my aid is approved.
If it isn’t…….I can't go.
So, I don't want to get everything set up just yet.
Not that it shouldn’t be approved.
My stuffa on the FAFSA side was approved.
It just….waiting.
I'll get something in the mail aboot it.
Yes, I said aboot.
That's really it!
I've just been moving through life.
Growing …...
I hate it.
I miss….doing nothing!
“Oh…. I want to make a picture right now.”
CAN’T!
Go to work!
Do school stuff!
Hopefully, I'll find a way.
I did before!
And school doesn't start until the Fall.
Onto the picture!
This is WEEK TWO of the second part of the Park series.
Here's WEEK ONE.
And here's the end of the first part.
Which has links to the other pirates.
…..pirates?
Don't autocorrect me Siri!
It's not my fault I type so fast that my iPad misses some letters!
Try to keep up!
……focus!
This one was an extra from the underwater footage.
I had it make a picture every five seconds.
And! It was recording a video the whole time as well.
So, I just kind of stuck it in the water and moved it around.
Looking at different spots.
We had 100+ pictures to look through.
Because it doesn't stop making pictures!
The rest of the pictures in Part Two are like this.
Last week's picture was actually on purpose.
And so was this one!
I think it's the first time that I'm not completely in the picture.
I usually have me, my face, or my silhouette.
Wait!
Picture 273 was just my arm.
ANYWAYS!
This idea popped into my head while I had the GoPro in the water.
So, I just held my hand in there for five seconds and BOOM done!
Simple!
The others in Part Two are just random pictures that were made in between the good ones.
We made two award winning picture on this day!
Now, because they were the good ones, I had to make them good.
Not only good, but different and interesting.
So, to get that look, I mirrored them!
However, next week's picture isn't mirrored.
But the one after that is!
Wait…the one after that is the last one!
Oh, I forgot I only have four in this part.
There's two left!
Anyways! Back to mirroring.
I did a whole project about this.
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.
This one is only mirrored once.
I flipped the picture sideways and mirrored that.
For the coloring, I wanted interesting!
So, it’s really saturated.
I did turn red down a little bit so my hand wasn't so….red.
Then there's my typical contrast and clarity!
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

There is no BTS video just yet.
You'll have to wait to weeks for that.
Wait!
I do have a video.
Every month, I do a monthly update about my life.
It's like an actual vlog.
But sometimes my BTS videos turn into vlogs.
I'll try to not do that.
Just focus on the pictures!
That's why the videos get so long.
However, a few weeks ago I actually made a short BTS video that was just about the picture!
I liked it!
Now, this video is an hour and a half.
It was FOUR AND A HALF unedited!
It's a whole month of me!
I would do daily vlogs or weekly vlogs, but that's too much!
I like editing videos…but not that much.
I can't stare at a screen too long.
I get sleepy!
Anyways!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
That's for watching if you did!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
