Good day!
Its supposed to soar to 67F (19C) today, but Ill walk when its still barely over freezing. Itll return closer to normal tomorrow.
At least, its supposed to.
Later, Ill publish another blog post in my self-editing series & (what a coincidence) edit another chapter.
Be everwell.
1284 SecondsSo, I've posted the 4 hours and 10 minutes version of this shot yesterday. This one here is almost the same (I envisioned this look actually with my first failed trial) but this one here was shot in about 21 minutes. The plan was to shoot 6 shots on the span of 2 hours, with each being for 21 minutes, but I didn't program the remote correctly unfortunately and ended up with one shot only this one. Anyway, the main idea is to gather as much as possible of light trails and merge them into one image. The noise level is not as drastic (still there though) and cleaning it was somewhat easier than the previous one. The previous one went through many process (and still ended up grainy), while this one was cleaned in one go.
I don't like the general composition though and the trash bins just outside makes me cringe really. I need to find another (safe) location!

The spring weather yo-yo continues. Its rising at present.
Ill edit my blog post today & a chapter. My skill improves, yet its difficult to describe how.
Progress continues to fuel progress.
My next hike will probably take me out of the valley, but not where its muddy.

After the paint out, I had to squeeze in a short hike. The trail head was just 5 minutes away.
I'm going to the "N."

Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.
Its about discovery, about going deeper into emotionsor deeper into the forest. Its about possibilities.

Ive been busy each day this month, yet edited a chapter each day. Ill have more time today.
