Raindrops on the conifer

tcr! tcr! · Dec 14, 2018 at 9:06 am

Taking a good photo and making it better.

1- I took the original as I was walking down to the garage on my way to work.

2- It’s not bad but I didn’t like the bottom greenery, it’s too big and blurry. The left side was also too busy so I cropped the whole photo tighter.

3- The garage’s gutter cluttered the picture, too, so I nuked it.

4- The colors were okay but they felt bland. I dropped the Shadows down to -0.35 and bumped the Saturation up to 0.21. Now I love it!

5- I did this all in Photos for macOS in less than 5 minutes. To remove the gutter I used the Pixelmator Retouch extension with the default settings. Yes, your whole life has been a lie.

6- Life is all about making things less complicated, less cluttered. Noise just distracts me from what’s important.

Driving to work along the Fox River this morning and all I could think was, somebody ran over a skunk ..or.. somebody’s been smoking marijuana ..or.. there was a horrible crash involving a Heineken truck.

Don’t they all smell basically the same? 🤔

Why yes they do!

kiki4 · Dec 13, 2018 at 8:53 am

Yes Yes Yes!!! I have always thought that. I can’t understand how people drink Heineken. 😷

It was a Coyote drinking a beer smoking pot on his way to the matress store. He must have hit the skunk.

tcr! tcr! · Dec 13, 2018 at 10:36 am

Mattress stores for the win!

laskowski · Dec 13, 2018 at 3:57 pm

Don’t worry, I’m sure someone took pics of the coyotes plates.

True. They do all smell alike. 🤢

This made someone angry? Good job you ruined someone’s day with your innocent and humorous observations. Have a great day you monster.

ron bart · Dec 14, 2018 at 7:58 am

If your beer smells like a skunk it’s bad

ron bart · Dec 14, 2018 at 7:58 am

If your pot smells like a skunk it’s good.. LOL and there’s nothing good about a skunk

Way back when… in one of the restaurants I worked at, the manager hired his son to bus tables. Nothing exciting there.

But back in the prep room the manager would rough house with the son most days. Take a boxing stance, throw half-hearted punches and jabs, smack the son’s hands when he raised them in defense.
