Picture 422...

Hello!
I completely forgot to upload the picture on Wednesday.
:-)
It just slipped my mind.

And then I was going to do it yesterday.
We were going to Brookfield Zoo for the next trip.
So, we were going to be on the road for a while.
I was planning on typing up the blog post then.
However, I didn’t sleep the night before and ended up sleeping on the way there!
Then I was tired after the trip and slept all the way back!!!!!
>:-(
So…. Yeah………..
That leads to today!
AND!!! I ALMOST FORGOT AGAIN!
I was checking some YouTube things and that reminded me to do this!
It’s 8:30, I almost missed out again!
I already had everything uploaded and ready to go.
I just kept forgetting!
Anyways!.... Here we are.
I remembered!
For this trip, we went to Chicago!
We walked around downtown and visited a few places.
But mostly…. We walked around…. A lot.
We did visit the oldest camera store in the world!
It was very exciting.
They had a bunch of old cameras and new cameras.
Everything was way overpriced, though.
That was really the only cool part.
I mean, yeah Chicago is cool.
But I’ve never been a city guy.
It was way too crowded.
Way too many people.

Millennium Park was interesting.
The giant face fountains are always creepy.
Overall, it was fun.
I didn’t get that many pictures.
But the ones I did get are good enough!
Of course, I didn’t have time to make an actual picture with my good camera like last time.
So, here’s the first of many GoPro selfies!
I took a few throughout the day.
On the train and in various places downtown.
This was the last one I took.
It was 30 minutes before we had to leave and it was at the final location.
I liked it because you could see the city and that fountain!
It was the best one to describe the trip.
For the coloring, I had to do a bit of work.
Chicago’s air isn’t the best.
So, there was a haze…. Everywhere.
I had to use the de-haze tool to get rid of that.
Then I increased the shadows to make everything brighter.
Then I increased saturation because I love colors!
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.

Let's try the Image Slider for a split comparison.
CLICK and DRAG the BLUE BAR 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!!!
The video is long again, but it’s all about the trip!!
I did take up a good chunk of time at the end editing the picture.
But it was at the end.
So, you could stop before that I guess….
You don’t have to watch the whole thing.
I’m not forcing you!
…….. ^_^

OK, THAT’S ALL!!
Like I mentioned, the next trip already happened.
We went to Brookfield Zoo.
It was more interesting than this.
I actually spent most of the time taking photos.
I did get some videos as well.
I forgot my good microphone though.
Oh well.
I also forgot to make a GoPro selfie.
So, I actually DON’T have a picture for next week.
I’ll think of something.
I was busy doing what we were there to do!
ANYWAYS!!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!
