Picture 448

¡Hola!
¿Cómo han estado las cosas desde la semana pasada?
Lo he estado haciendo muy bien aquí recientemente.
Ha estado lloviendo mucho… I’ll stop.
I asked how you have been and I said I’ve been fine.
It’s been raining these past few days, so I haven’t had a lot of work.
I’ve just been relaxing again.
I have been feeling a little sick, so I’ve been sleeping a lot lately.
Hopefully I’m not really sick………………………………..
MOVING ON!

This week’s post isn’t going to be too extravagant.
This is the start of a three-part series.
When I did the VHS Project 2, I went to this cool park that’s close by.
While I was there, I saw some interesting photo opportunities.
However, I didn’t want to shoot them all for the VHS Project.
So, I knew I was going to come back someday.
WELL! Today is that day…
Actually we went a few weeks ago, but you don’t know that…….
……………..
………
…
.
ANYWAYS!
We had a fun time.
We saw eagles!
INSERT PHOTO!!

That was all the zoom I had and I’m not spending $10,000 on a zoom lens.

We also saw some other cool things as well that you’ll see in the video.
The video brought me back to the days when we used to walk in the parks to get photos for the contest.
Sadly, you don’t get to see the video until the end of the series.
Sad face for you.
Anyways, one of those other things was a neat cabin that you can rent apparently…
Naturally, I had to make a photo there…

AIN’T THAT NEAT!
Reminds me of what I do for my job!
It’s the same thing just without…. Me.
And that’s really all there is to say about this photo.
I saw a cabin… I made a photo…
Simple.
I figured it was a good starting off point for this series.
I do feel like the other ones are better, which is also why this one is first.
It’s still great, though.
For the editing, once again…. Not that complicated.

Just a boost in saturation and BOOM!
Finished.
I did do a little more tweaking in the highlights, contrast, and overall brightness.
But it didn’t take me that long.
It literally took me a minute to get from original photo to finished photo.
LET’S COMPARE THE CHANGES!

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.

LOVELY!
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

There we go!
Simple as that.
I’m going to go back to resting because I can’t get sick.
The world will end.
My word already almost ended today.
Taco Bell discontinued my favorite taco.
The only taco I eat there.
I died inside.
I don’t know what to do now.
Do I just stop eating at Taco Bell?
The future is uncertain in that area.
Anyways, I’ll post the next part in the series next week!
Then a week after that will be the final part and the video.
I’ll see you then!
