Picture 402

So…
Here we are again!
This post might be a little short.

I’m typing it up at the last minute.
I’ve been busy today.
Many school things to do.
It’s the day before Fall break… for me at least.
So, we are getting assignments to do over the break.
I’ve been getting them done….. NOW!
Then I won’t have to worry about them.
ANYWAYS!!
ON TO THE PICTURE!
This picture was from a school project like the last picture.
However, instead of freezing motion… I had to depict motion.
Here are the other ones I did….

This picture wasn’t the only one to choose from.
I was torn between two pictures.
Here’s the other one…

That’s the edited version, just so you know.
I couldn’t decide… so I asked the community…..
AKA my mom.
She picked the one with me walking and I went with it!
It took some effort to get it to look nice.
I was really faded.
So I worked my magic to make me stand out more.
I should talk about how I actually shot the picture…..
Hmmm…
It was a five-minute exposure.
I would step forward and stop for 30 seconds.
That would bake my image into the picture.
Then I’d step forward and do that over and over.
However,  I didn’t stand long enough.
So, I was faded.
I turned down highlights and boosted the shadows
And then I tossed in some contrast and clarity to seal the deal.
AND IT WORKED!!!!
COMPARE!!
First off.... here's the original.

I had to crop it.

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 own split image.
Or, you can use these presets.
Before FULL, After FULL, 50/50, Before a QUARTER, or After a QUARTER.

Before

After

ALL DONE!!
There’s still no video.
I’m currently editing it.
I’m working on it during my homework breaks.
Instead of doing everything all at once, I spread it out.
I work for a while…. then take a break.
It doesn’t overload my brain.
ANY….WAYS!!!
The video will uploaded Friday with the last picture for this week of fun!
SO COME BACK FRIDAY!!!
