My Actifit Report Card: May 16 2019
The best laid plans of mice and men
The title for this is to say No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it. And when it came to me as a title i wondered where it originated, ehe saying is adapted from a line in “To a Mouse,” by Robert Burns
And how does that fit this post, well let me tell you in a bit,
But first, let me enter a shot in the Shadow Photo Contest hosted by @melinda010100 you can see her post describing it for this week here
I know I am probably too late with this entry, but I did promise to be looking for them but partially, to be honest, it slipped my mind and secondly, I was not seeing many Lampost shadows when I was out walking but I did get this shot today

OK back to my post related to my walking today, starting with a photo, taken in Grand Central, Not the train I came in on but on another set of tracks where it wasn’t crowded with people

Now you may wonder why I decided to do an artsy edit with the first photo and here is why
The Sun was shining
As I was looking out of the train as we headed underground to pull into Grand Central, so I decided I would make my Way to Hudson Yards on the Subway and walk on the Highline to get some shots and see the ew art there as they rotate the art on display quite frequently,
So I walked through the terminal, up and down escalators to get to the 7 Line

And rode to Hudson Yards and up more stairs

Where did the dark skies come from
Only to find heavy dark clouds had moved in and it was pouring down, so my Bets Laid plans went out the window
OK they weren’t exactly best laid plans just a spur of the moment decision,but best laid plans fits the post better.
So I turned around and headed back to Grand Central, and in fact most of the photos in this post were taken on the way back and after this point in my story, as my original plan was to take some photos while walking the Highline for this post.
And since I did not get any photos of the art along the Highline,I decided to do some artsy edits on my phone of the photos I took.
WhenI got back to Grand Central and came outdoors, it was still raining fairly steadily but not as hard as it had been when I was at Hudson Yards, but you could tell from the roads and sidewalks that it had poured down here as well.
This next shot shows many were walking with Umbrellas, well most actually but I seldom use one myself, I only use one whenI need to keep my camera dry, a jacket and a cap is normally enough for me

On my way to he office and the rain was easing off and the sun was starting to make an appearance again, in fact by the time I got to my cubicle and looked out the window the skies had cleared and the sun was shining

Nice shots! That is too bad the weather had to turn like that. They have been calling for rain the past couple of days but I haven't seen a drop. The second to the last photo is my favorite.

it did catch me by Surprise neither of the weather apps I have on my phone was predicting rain so I walked out of the station at a good trot and thought what the heck, it was so heavy I got soaked pretty good in just a minute out there, but then the day turned real nice so it all was good
I like that one as well, Was just playing with an app on my phone and trying different filters

Nice pictures like how you did the art ones. What did that is just an XS app? Also, 20k steps man you are crushing my 10k goal maybe I need to up my game. My day was good. Still got some to go before it is over.
I cant even remember when I got that App, or maybe one of the family did I came across it on my phone this morning its a paid app called BeCasso for IOS and has so many different filters
10K is the goal I set myself for weekdays, and 5 On weekends, today was an exception with that many steps around 10 K will be the norm for me I think, and tomorrow will be low my legs are feeling it LOL
Very cool edits, you are so talented my friend. It didn’t rain here today. It was cloudy though, all morning. I did only 3k steps today 🙃
Thanks I felt the need to do something different today LOL
K is better than no K :)
Love the storyline of the photos.
This might inspire me to take more photos during the day. They might not be as awesome as yours but it will create a more readworthy story 😊.
Thanks for using the humanizesteem tag 💪

These photos are taken with my cellphone, i just wanted to keep my actifit posts in a similar format to my other posts
Thanks. Glad to hear that.
Yup. I wanted to make my actifit posts more like a regular post as well, but still trying to find the time to do so. Sometimes I'm just too tired at the end of the day.
Posted using Partiko Android
Finding the time is always the challenge, actifit actually make sit easier for me, as I use phone photos with minimal editing unlike my normal photos in posts
Yup.. phone editing is definitely a little quicker any tips for good editing apps? I currently use snapseed for photos and inshot for video.
Posted using Partiko Android
I seldom do videos, I think of the ones i have tried Snapseed is my favorite, I have to be honest for my actifit posts I mainly just use the phone default editing
Ah.. ok. Cool. I do have to confess I don't use my phones features enough.
Posted using Partiko Android
I use a lot of my phones features, but till starting on Partiko the cameras was not one of them since I generally have my big camera with me all the time
That is a great lamp post shadow! Thanks for entering! I love the filters you used on the other photos here. That works perfectly on these shots!
Yeah I had fun with todays shots for the actifit side of the post ;)
Love the edits and you made fantastic images of the rainy day.
thanks it was fun to do something different ;)
