Rod Action Shot

[D.W. Verts]

I was filming for YouTube the other day, and when I went to editing I started looking for pics for a "thumbnail" shot to head my video, and I came up with this-



I thought it looked pretty cool, and Gary like it as well.

Here Ya Go Dale.  I brightened up your picture a bit.

[D.W. Verts]

Thanks Bud- way better. These action cameras don't let a lot of light in.

Great pic Dale, you should consider looking into the Canva app. They have a version for desktops as well. This is a free application that helps enhance and clean up pics for YouTube thumbnails  and host of other social media platforms.

Its what I use for all my thumbnails

Canva is what I use.

Have you tinkered with the saturation, contrast, and color features?

[D.W. Verts]

Lou, that picture was downloaded from the video onto my computer when I save it to my possible list. That was all I ever did, no editing. Oh, and I sent it to Gary...!

I do the same thing, but on Canva you can enhance the picture. Brightness, color, saturation, contrast etc. Look into it.

Very cool, I bet Gary uses it for something soon.

Nice shot!

It's just cool what you find sometimes. That one wasn't considered for a "thumbnail" (it doesn't really WORK for anything) but it just came out cool. I've got this one from last year that I thought I might use someday, maybe in my upcoming Dobyns rod video-
