It was actually sunny last week, so sunny that I could not see the image on the back of my camera. So I just pointed it in the right direction and clicked several times in the hope that when I got them on the computer I would be able to salvage some nice images with judicious cropping and perhaps some textures.
I used some textures to lighten up the shadows around the wall – Kim Kalssen’s ‘not too shabby’ on overlay blending mode and then her ‘luminous’ on multiply blending mode.
I think it gives a hazy beach effect that I really like.
The interesting composition is because my ‘point in the right direction’ was a bit off and I only just got my sister in the frame. I added Kim’s dream texture on overlay and then colour burn blending modes.
I really like that the words in the texture show on the wall – as if there was graffiti there. I removed the texture from my sister but nothing else. I like this as a subtle texturising.
On Texture Tuesday this week we were free to texturise as we wanted – check out what others have been up to here.
I love the textures you've used on these images ~ they work really well!
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly a cool way of rescuing those "point and see what happens" shots. I have quite a few of those myself
ReplyDeleteI'd say you did a good salvage job! I like the texture effect in the second photo the best.
ReplyDeletelove the light on the first photo and the "graffiti" on the second ;) well done.

Wow, it just goes to show you that a good photographer just can't take a bad picture. I especially love the digital graffiti effect. Great job! (...and thanks for visiting my blog!!)
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is dreamy. These textures are so fun!
ReplyDeletei love them all! wish you could "salvage" some of my photos!!!
