The Past Follows

After last night's event, Abigail feels discontent with John. His actions make Abigail think that John can never be a common man as his past returns to him. The attempts John is making aren't with a whole heart and his way of doing business is not aligned with the promises that he made to Abigail when they started this new life. In this episode, John gets the hint that nothing is on the right track and now he needs to make a lot more than he could think to regain Abigail's trust. However, as a man, John has no options other than defending and standing for her wife's dignity. There is no alternative to his force.


John returns to the home after wreaking havoc on the enemy gang. Abigail looks frustrated.

She asks what is the need to kill others when it's not their problem. The conflict was between the owner and the gang, not with John.

John replies that the owner needed a helping hand and he had no option to turn him down.

Frustrated Abigail turns back and goes to sleep without asking anything further.

The next day after completing the farm chores, John returns to talk to Abigail and ask for forgiveness.

Abigail says that she is not sure about what to say at this moment and asks John to collect deliveries from Strawberry Town.

John takes Jack along with him to work on his father-son relationship.

Jack seems quiet after last night's heated moment between John and Abigail.

John focuses on riding and continues towards the town.

John asks Jack if he needs something like a book or candy. But Jack remains silent.

John enters the post office to collect deliveries. He first collects mail for Abigail. Then he asks about his mail.

Here John has to disclose his true identity to receive the mail.

John gets back to his horse cart. The post office man identifies him as John Marston - a gunslinger.

John keeps his profile low and returns to Jack.

He asks Jack if he wants to ride that horsecart. John handovers the control to him and guides him.

It has started to rain so John advises Jack to slow down.

On a turn, John observes a few suspicious men looking at him. John advises Jack to keep his voice low. For the safer side, John takes back the control of the cart.

John peeks and finds that men are following him.

John rushes to the safe spot. Jack looks afraid.

John hides Jack behind a trunk.

The suspicious group stops and comes to John for a talk. They ask if he is John Marston to which John replies with a new word - no.

However, the enemy takes out his gun and points at John. Feeling insecure about this action, John takes out his rifle and takedowns the group.

John looks for things that can help him to identify the enemies.

He calls out Jack. Jack runs to him and hugs him. He looks traumatized and scared.

John tells Jack to hide this event from his mother Abigail.

They return to the ranch.

Abigail comes outside to help John and greet Jack, but Jack just runs inside the house ignoring her.

Abigail asks John to know what has happened between them. John replies that Jack is tired of the ride.

Abigail is suspicious about John's reply. However, she went inside to look at Jack.

Will Jack hide the event that happened to him? How Abigail will react after consecutive shooting events? How this will shape the family and their future? The story unfolds in the next blog.

This looks like a nice chapter. But are they cropped pictures from cinematic moments? I checked some of your last posts from this game and I don't find your photography charm anymore.

No I am hardly covering any cinematic pictures. As cinematic has nothing to offer except a still moment or dialogue. Each cinematic I only take one pic only to not cut the story. And it's fine if you don't find the charm, as I am still enjoying what I am posting.

And it's fine if you don't find the charm, as I am still enjoying what I am posting.

Are you referring that you post cause you enjoy them? Not for your readers? I guess you didn't understand my compliment in my texts where I tried to convey that I like your photography but recently I don't find that charm cause you're not doing the same as before. You should understand what I'm talking about if you check your current photographs and the ones you used to share before.

Hey I get you completely. My meaning is I won't post anything which I am not enjoying myself. Before my readers can like anything, I must like it too. And as said it's fine not every post can hit the expectations.

I see, got you now.

Before my readers can like anything, I must like it too.

You're totally right about that part.

one more interesting observation is that certain images has top black bar certain has no black bar and a few images has bottom black bar. This is because some images are processed for brightness, some to remove darkness and some to make it more vivid and eye appealing. And it points out the final thing that those images are processed not in a one go but I separated them as per the brightness, darkness and dullness and then used Image engine. It's a good amount of work behind it. So I am really happy that you said it beautiful as my main aim is achieved here. However as per overall consideration one can expect more than just beauty. Which I will keep in mind from next blog.

And I don't know how you got parts of those cinematic bars in most of your photos if they're not cinematic cause when I played RDR 2, I didn't see gameplay having black bars other than they're cinematic moments. This is still RDR 2, right?

It's because of image processing, as I have to put each pic in a single frame and then I apply filters and effects. But when you are doing with bulk images the frames can get a little shift from any direction. And I noticed it while editing only. However for a single post like this I have to do editing multiple times. Because each time something remains, or a particular image can be more enhanced. Then I have to redo. So blog like this do take me 90 mins and it's only about editing photos. It gets annoying sometimes because i have to reopen the software and do it again and again. Hence I took the leverage that certain mistakes can be ignored if the output is what I am looking for.
