Day Six of the Twelve Days of Texture!

Happy Saturday!  I must say I am pretty impressed with myself for sticking with this.  I know its only twelve days, but for me it seems like a pretty big deal.  And it feels great :)  Today I even took some of the awesome motivation Kim has given me, and created my first brush (that was not a logo!).  I even uploaded it to a sharing site, in case any of you are interested you can upload it for yourselves HERE.  For today's share, I went back to the summer, again, and used a couple of shots from when I first purchased my macro.  All I have done to these is add a background layer set at soft light (50%) and the magic textures to overlay at 85% opacity.  I hope you like!Take a look at the rest of the submissions for the 12 Days of Texture with Kim Klassen HERE.

Day Five of the Twelve Days of Textures

Just outside of the city I live in, there is a small Trailer Park with a bad reputation.  There is a playground there that I'm sure was built in the late 70's or early 80's, and every time I had driven by for a long time I had the urge to take photos there.  It reminds me of my childhood, which is what I'm sure has drawn me to it.  One day last summer I got the opportunity to take a family there for a session.  Afterwards, I had to sneak back so I could focus on this little horse.  Its one of those times that I have captured something purely for myself,  and for no reason in particular, I love the results.  I've used Kim Klassen's texture from today called 'Zuzu' on all three images, which were all processed using only duplicated layers on soft light blending mode, and the texture.  Simple, yet beautiful, I think.  To see the other participants in the Link Party click HERE.
