texture tuesday: free and easy edition

One of my favorite subjects--dandelion seeds. Textured with a couple of Kim's lovely textures.

Texture Tuesday: Simple Edition

Spring is coming late to central Indiana this year. My Grape Hyacinths are finally blooming--probably two weeks later than most years. I am glad to see them. Many more flowers are soon to come.

This was textured with Kim's brand new 'Simple1' texture.

Happy Spring!

Texture Tuesday--Spring Break

I am on a very welcome Spring Break in Florida. The weather is not hot, exactly, but it is lovely and very sunny which is a nice change from the cold Spring we have been having in Indiana this year.

Textured with Kim's 'frosted' and 'boutique'.

Texture Tuesday: Color Edition

I have been into creating these forest abstracts these days. I guess maybe I am looking for something a little different to do with all the bare, brown trees. Although some color was there in the originals, there is also added color through cross-processing and split toning in some cases. 

I don't mind bare trees nor do I mind winter, but I always welcome the change of seasons, too, so I am looking forward to spring. This year, spring seems to be coming later to central Indiana than in recent years. It's okay because it is worth the wait and it will come as it always does.

All of the below images were textured with various of Kim's textures that I have collected over time. 

Texture Tuesday: Free and Easy

An abstract of the winter woods, textured with three layers of Kim's 'hsh3' texture. Also processed in Lightroom and PS CS5 and RadLab.

Texture Tuesday--Still Edition

For this week's Texture Tuesday, I have a couple of heavily textured dried hydrangea. I love hydrangea when they are fresh and new as well, but I tend to prefer when then are withered and dry. I don't know why that is, but it just is. 

On the top picture, I used Kim's 'Simple' and for the bottom one I used a couple of layers of Kim's 'rest-magic'. 

Texture Tuesday: Light Edition

It was very cold on the morning this shot was captured (about five degrees below zero with colder wind chill factors), but the sun was shining brightly and it was wonderfully quiet and still--a beautiful morning, in my opinion.

I processed this with some 'vintage' type presets in Lightroom and some more with Radlab. I used Kim's new freebie texture 'play'.
