Picture 385

So yo bro.
Word up.
………

Hello.
How's life?
I’ve been doing fine.
This has been a fun week!
We saw two movies!!
One of them was at a drive-in.
IT WAS FUN!!
That's why I didn't upload the picture yesterday.
I was gone!
I had it all done and uploaded.
I just didn't get this blog post typed up in time.
Work is fine.
My lung is getting worse.
But not as bad as before……
Yet.
I changed my availability.
I don't want to work past 9!
So, I’ll be 12-9 all the time.
Part two have the change will be in August.
When I have to cut my hours in half for school.
………….
School is getting so close!!
WAIT!!
My sister is having issues with her foot.
They say she needs surgery and she’s going for it.
That’s on the 14th!!
WOW! She must be nervous!
I requested it off so I can be there.
Moral support.
THINGS ARE SNEAKING UP SO FAST!!
IT’S JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!
MY BIRTHDAY IS IN A MONTH!!
I REQUESTED THAT ALL TOO!!!
HELP!!!
IT’S COMING!!!
…………………….
I’m ok.
I don't know if I’m ready.
But I won't know if I don't try!
What if my classmates find this blog…. And my videos….
They can see….everything…………
…………………………………………………………
Onto the picture.
This was an easy one again!
I have been wanting to do this one for a while.
I just didn't know how.
Well, I did…….
But I didn't.
I needed to sit down and think about it.
Which, I haven't had time for recently.
I've been rushing to get the picture done the day before.
WELL NOT THIS TIME!!
I made this on Sunday, my day off.
So, I had all day to do it.
I need to use my days off better.
Anyways, I had this idea in my head since we moved in here.
I wanted to be sitting in that tree!
That was the simple part.
What camera to use was the question.
I moved around and found the best angle.
I tried a few settings on the slo mo cam to see how it looked.
That didn't work.
I tried the BIG fancy camera and…… Eh.
You could see a lot of the tree.
So, I went with the GoPro.
It’s the one I wanted to use all along.
Because I knew I was going to need a wide angle lens.
Which is why I used the GoPro first, if you watch the BTS video.
I remote connected to it from the iPad.
It was cool.
I could even look at the picture after I made it, from the iPad.
I need to get remotes for all my cameras.
And extra batteries.
ANYWAYS!!!
Once I got all that done, it was time for the coloring.
It originally wasn't going to be black and white….
I had saturation and everything all the way up and the picture just didn't POP!
It didn't look good to me.
So, I made it black and white with me in color.
Who knows…
Maybe there was a reason for it being black and white.
Something I didn't notice.
An inner story.
WHO KNOWS!!
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

ALRIGHTY!!
Now…. It's time for the video….
The video is a bit long.
Like 36 minutes.
I was having a good day.
When I'm happy… I make a lot of random videos!!
Like this video was recorded all on Sunday.
It’s all from one day.
Mostly.
There’s a few flashbacks.
THERE WAS AN EPIC STORM!!
It was insane!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
Ok.
That's all.
Next week will be interesting.
We went out to the fields to look at the stars.
I think I got something.
Also….. I bought a car.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
