Texture magic–through a nutmeg lens

 

Texture loving Tuesday again.  I wanted to see how the nice soft textures worked on some urban photos.  I was looking through some photos from 2009 and came upon a set that I took out of the moving minibus window driving through Kathmandu, so I decided to use them for my urban experiment.

I love the impact. 

I did the same thing to each of the photos – Nutmeg texture, once 100% overlay and then 35% opacity of Multiply blend mode.

Seriously, I’m bowled over by how the texture turned some ho-hum, blurred photos into images that I want to print and put on my wall. Pure magic.

  4. They do look good - and they sort of fall into three pairs quite well; or just the whole set of six. Great memories of your trip, from so-so photos - wonderful!
