I Still Love Playing With Textures

I have been looking for the right pink texture for awhile.  I hadn't used textures for a few weeks and I am always looking for a certain shade to get just the right look for a photo.  Here is the first photo edit just the color as shot.

This is the little sweetheart I babysit and it seemed ideal to do a focal black and white on the toy where all the color was coming from.  We had all the lights off so she could see the toy and it was giving her face a really nice glow.

Then I applied a pink texture from Kim Klassen called reverie and there was the pink I was looking for!  See how pretty it lights her face. 

Which edit do you like?

Left to right: regular color, focal black and white, or with the pink texture?

With such a good subject it is hard to take a bad photo.

In this last photo to give it a little more texture, depth, and a vintage feel I added one more texture called enlightened at 60% on multiply, I think.  Texture by Kim Klassen.

A Work in Progress

I have been working on these photos of ferns.  I want to create art out of them.  It took a bit of time to get the images similar.  It is a work in progress.  Love tinkering with this.  Will post the final product soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Textures and Their Effect

I have been using textures a lot.  I have been noticing how they can take a normal photo and give it a whole different look.  Here I have added a texture and given this fern a whited out effect. I am seeing this a lot on blogs. 

In this photo the texture gives it a dream like quality.

In this black and white photo a texture added enhances the emphasis of aging the photo.

Here, I also added a texture and it gives the quality of sand or the beach to the subject.

I enjoy playing around with the editing and hope I can learn more along the way.
