Picture 424...


HOWDY!!!!
Life has been just fine for me!

A lot better than last week.
One my fattier holidays came by.
….. I just noticed that Siri correct “favorite” to “fattier”.
Ok, Siri….
ANYWAYS!
It was the Fourth of July.
The day where we celebrate Amurica’s b-day…..
By blowing things up.
However, this year was as fun as the one's before.
We usually go to my sister in law’s family thing with her dad.
They typically have fireworks and blow things up!
But this year……. He was busy.
So….. we decided to go to my family’s shindig.
………….. :-\
My family’s not that bad…. It’s just……
…….They don’t blow things up!
Oh well…..
So, because of all that I didn’t make a Fourth of July picture.
We did go up inside a parking garage and saw all the show in the area.
We did try to see a show up close.
They are usually after a baseball game.
However….. the game went into 12 endings because it was tied.
They didn’t get done until 12:30 AM!
We left at 11:30.
So, that was a bust.
Overall, the whole day was.
ANY……..
WAYS!!!!
For this trip in the Summer Class, we went down to a place called Turkey Run.
It’s in the middle of Indiana……. Somewhere.
Google it.
It’s a lovely little state park.
It’s got huge cliffs and a boat load of trees.
Today’s trip was brought to you by the color green.
It was kind of like the first place we went to in the class.
They were very similar.
Except this place didn’t have that many waterfalls.
There were a lot more little rivers and creeks that we had to walk through.
There was a SNAKE!!!
SNAKE!!!!!!
See…
That was the only exciting part…. Hehehehehe.
Our group was a little light as well.
A few people didn’t show up.
So, I had a lot of alone time.
I tried to make an actual picture instead of a GoPro selfie, but it didn’t work.
My pictures have been blurry here recently.
The picture I took at the zoo had camera shake as well.
I use a tripod all the time!
The pictures should have blurriness or camera shake.
My teacher says it could be the optical stabilizer in the lens.
That’s actually a good point and it probably is that.
I’ll have to remember to turn it off when I take a photo!
It helps with the videos by making everything not so…. Jittery.
We’ll see.
I’ll work things out.
ANYWAYS!
Because of those issues, I when with a GoPro selfie again.
It was a close call, there were a few good selfies.
I picked the best one by resorting to an age-old tactic…..
….I asked my mom.
She picked this one.
And it was the right choice.
I liked it too.
For the coloring, I wanted colors!
So, I super saturated…. EVERYTHING!
I did bring down the color orange because I looked like Oompa Loompa.
After that, I bumped up the shadows and added some contrast and clarity.
Brightening the shadows made things look a bit…. Cloudy.
So, I used the dehaze tool to fix that.
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.

BEATULIFUL!!
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.
Before
After
Alright!
Now it’s time for the video.
The video did get a bit long again.
But it’s mostly about the trip.
There is a 15-minute segment about my week and what not.
Then the video is the trip.
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.

OK! All done.
The next place we are going to is a baseball game at our local field.
It happens later today.
I don’t know what exciting it will be…. So…. Yeah.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!
