Picture 410 | A Walk through the Park-Part 4...

SO!
HEELO!
HELOO
He…..lu.
My brainnisn’t rking.

See.
I bragged too much about having a good nights sleep last week.
Every day after that has been terrible.
I have slept since…. I don’t remember.
We had plans to finish up the contest stuff yesterday and I abandoned ship!
I just wasn’t having a good day.
So, we are going to do it tomorrow!
We are going to print off the pictures and pick the right matting!!
FUN FUN!!
I’m going to use that as a good transition to talk about this week’s picture.
I don’t want to get into how my week went.
Plus, I want to make this post short because I’m feeling sleepy and I was to seize the opportunity.
I MIGHT ACTUALLY SLEEP, Y'ALL!!
ANYWAYS!!
This week is Part Four of the Park videos.
Here’s One, Two, and Three.
This part actually featured a picture that I already did!
That wasn’t the only one I made that day.
We explored TWO locations.
I made another picture at the other location.
I was trying to get a school project done and there was this place I wanted to go.
We drove past it all the time while going to the parks but never stopped by.
So, we did.
It was the cute little garden… park… thing.
It wasn’t small, but it wasn’t huge.
Since it was a new place, I found myself getting a bunch of pictures.
It was all new!
There were a waterfall and a pond that I dipped the GoPro in.
There was a windmill and behind the windmill was…..mushrooms.
They were giant mushroom… statue…. Things.
My Aunt practically forced me to make a picture with them.
So, I did.
It was a simple one… but she wanted more!
So, I did many different poses.
There are in the video if you want to see them.
I’m too tired to put them in.
HA!
For the coloring, I picked the best one.
I think it was the first one I did.
I wanted to it to be SATURATED.
I wanted all the colors to POP!
So, I cranked that up to OVER 9000!!
Then, I tossed in a little bit of clarity and contrast to seal the deal.
Overall, it took 30 seconds.
Really.
COMPARE!!!
Here's the un-cropped original...

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.

ONTO THE VIDEO!
It’s a good one!
We did a bunch of exploring and I got a bunch of cool videos.
So, the video did end up a bit long.
But it was us having fun!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.

NOW!!! Here’s an extra video!
I said I was going to do a post on New Year’s Eve documenting the events on the day.
But I didn’t.
I was too busy with the big family shindig!
I did make a video, though!!!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.

OK!
I’m done.
I’m off to sleep!
IT’S A NEW YEAR!!!
Hopefully, it doesn’t get too bad.
Next week is the final Park video and after that… we should have the results for the contest!
I CAN’T WAIT!!!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
