I don’t know what that said.
I’ve been feeling ok recently.
Things have been pretty packed here recently.
I’m not talking about the job.
Our shoots have died off here recently.
But it’s still enough to live on my own.
It’s the stuff outside the job.
The tractor people want their videos.
I want to work on my own videos.
The grandparents want me to help them and they are paying me for it!
The boss wants me to hurry up and get the drone class done and pass the pilot test.
But, I don’t want to rush because this is a big deal and I will fail if I don't take my time.
THE WORLD NEEDS ME!!
EVERYONE NEEDS ME!!
All I need is time.
Long story short, there’s a lot of things on my plate and I’m trying to eat it all.
Luckily, the events in this photo were a great escape from everything.
This week’s photo and video covers our 2019 trip to Cedar Point.
We went with the kids and my mom!
MY MOM!
She didn’t ride anything, she just watched the kids while we rode the big rides.
It was a pretty simple trip.
The kids rode all their rides, ran back to the hotel for the pool, the brother and I rode all our rides, passed out that night and left in the morning.
I didn’t record that much because it was family time.
I was going to record a lot more when it was just the two of us……
…..but……
Something happened.
But I’ll get to that.
FIRST….. COMPARE!!
This is the original photo.

All I did was crop out my hand.

Now look at the changes that I did…

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!
A little bit of saturation can go a long way.
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!
As I mentioned..... something happened....
We rode the newest (and best) ride first.
They are being extra salty about that ride.
They have these crazy rules that they are enforcing that’s killing all the fun.
I cover it in a lovely 10-minute rant at the end of the video.
It put me in a grumpy mood for the rest of the day.
Which is why the actual Cedar Point part is only 7 minutes.
Next time we go, I’ll do better.
I’ll use my phone because they aren’t salty about those.
They got mad about the GoPro that I use to record us walking around the park.
They wouldn’t let me on the ride with it.
But they let people with a phone on the ride…. 
And phones… have cameras…..
And their policy says “phones and cameras” are prohibited on the ride….
…so….. phones shouldn’t go as well……
………

Like I said, I go into it with more detail.
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.

That’s it!
I don’t know what I’m doing next.
I’m still trying to figure things out with all the things I have to do.
Patience.
I’ll see you when I see you!
