Oh, sorry.
I thought you were a burglar.
Hi.

Santa’s starting production and he’s watching.
Be nice.
Be good.
Be me.

What was I talking about?
I wasn’t talking about anything yet.
Was I?
No.
Yes.
Who am I?
Who are you?!?!
HEY!!
GET OUT!
I’VE GOT A BUTTER KNIFE!!
Hehehe, ok.
My week has been ve-
Hold on…
Breaking news!
I’ve been told it’s been three weeks, not just a week.
Fine, fine, fine.
I’ve had a fun few weeks here recently.
I’m at the Aunts!
I’ve been here for a week plus a few days.
I’m all settled in, ready for her to run away.
Never to return.
At least, that’s what she wants.
But she can’t stay away forever.
Unless she takes the dog!
OH THAT REMINDS ME!
I got my first taste of a good storm out here.
LOOK AT THE PHOTOS!

AND LOOK AT THIS VIDEO!!!

It was windy out there.
I was a bit nervous.
The car was shaking.
Fun times.
The power got knocked out.
Fun fun times.
That’s really the only exciting thing that happened.
It’s been very chill these past few days.
We’ve just been chillin’.
She keeps trying to get me to watch TV.
That’s what she does every night.
Not going to happen.
I have better things to do like…. Work…. And Minecraft… I don’t know.
ONTO THE PHOTO!

There is it!
Ain’t it neat!?!?
This is the start of a little series.
A while back, I got an assignment to shoot some b-roll of local attractions around one of the fancy houses we did.
The house isn’t selling for some reason and so we needed to spice up the video.
So, I went to the beach and showed that.
There was a nice play park for kids if a buyer had any.
Simple stuff.
Then we noticed that there was a nature park right next to the house.
So, I ended my journey there and liked what I saw.
It was lovely.
I saw potential photo ideas so I wanted to come back.
So, the Aunt and I came back a few days later but we got rained out.
We still walked around to see what photos I could get.
You know plan things out for when we could back again.
We didn’t have to wait too long returned.
We were all alone in the park, so I had extra fun and got some cool stuff.
This photo was one of the ones we got first.
I knew this bridge and lookout area was the most popular attraction in the park.
So, while there weren't any people, I wanted to get it out of the way before we couldn't.
It was a pretty simple procedure.
Set the camera down, hit the timer, and walk.
I had to use the timer because the remote wasn’t working for some reason that I can’t remember.
Once I got the photo, the editing was simple as well.
I didn’t want to over-process it too much.
So, I just bumped up the saturation and played the brightness a bit.
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.

BEAUTIFUL!
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.

After

Wasn’t that just lovely?
ONTO TO THE VID- oh wait….
There is no video.
Sorry.
The making of video will be posted at the end of this series.
This is part 1 of 4, so we have a little bit of time.
The video is shaping up t be a simple video of us just walking around in the park.
Like the good ole days.
We still have three weeks to wait for that.
In the meantime, you can come back next week and see the next photo in the series!
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!
