Picture 458 | The Overlook...

OH HI!!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!??!
I was wondering if you were going to show up.
You’re always loitering around.
What are you going to do something useful!?
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME MONEY?!?!?
YOU HAVEN’T PAID THE RENT!
………………..
…………
…….

.

I’m fine.
Things have been fine.
I’m losing my mind.
Why would you think that?
I think things have been just great!
The house hasn’t burned down…
I do need to mow the yard….. eventually.
The dog is still… the dog.
The job is still…. the job.
Everything is just fine.
I wish there was more to say, but there’s nothing eventfully.
I’ve just been having a fine time out here on my own.
I did the laundry.
OH WOW!
A RIVETING STORY!
ONTO THE PHOTO!


This is the last one.
The story is simple…
I’m walking somewhere
I’m making my way
I get to where I’m going
And now you see why I came here…
It’s a nice view!
It was a nice park.
I wished I would have gotten photos in the other half.
There was a trail through the woods and a ridge.
There was even a little creek way down at the bottom.
Maybe we’ll go back.
The photo was pretty straightforward.
Set the camera down… push the button.
The editing was simple.
It was a bit bright, so I turned the brightness down and cranked up the saturation.
Then I played around with the shadows and contrast a bit.
I didn’t want to go overboard and ruin the view!
I’d say, it turned out pretty good.

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.

IT'S LOVELY!
A good way to end.
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
AND NOW IT’S TIME!!
ONTO THE VIDEO!!!
The video is simple for once.
It’s not short, but it’s to the point.
There are a few distractions at the beginning.
But after the 3-minute mark, it's all about this project.
It covers all the times we went to this park and editing the photos afterward.
As I said, it's simple!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.

Alright, that’s it for now.
This was a fun project.
Just like the good ole days of getting photos for the contest.
At the end of the video, I sit and think about other projects I could do.
There’s this folder on my computer with a bunch of old photo ideas and projects.
LIKE OLD STUFF.
Stuff that will never be shown because they were terrible photos to begin with.
However, there were some interesting photos and ideas that I might use.
I also thought about a new project involving crazy colors.
I show that in the video as well and give an example of what I would do.
That project is happening, I really like the idea.
I just need to get out and do it!
I don’t know when that will be.
So, I’ll see you when I see you.
