Texture Thursday

Its Texture Thursday time!!

Everyone joining me from last week... Welcome back! And, if you're here for the first time, I hope you totally join in on the fun! The whole point of Texture Thursday is to look at photography from a different point of view. Meaning that you can either enter a photo that has texture already in it or add some of your own. If your not quite sure what I mean I give examples HERE.

If you read THIS POST then you know about how I wanted to bring my dream to this photo below and I was able to do that with textures.

The textures I used where these…

I found them all on the internet just by searching “free textures for Photoshop”

To get the moon I just searched for “free moon brushes for Photoshop” and found that moon.

How I added it all together was I first did a clean edit to my photo added the warmth to it with a PW action. then I added the clouds. change they layer to soft light lowered the opacity to my liking and erased the texture over the hot air balloon. then added the stars again changing the layer to soft light lowing the opacity erased the texture over the hot air balloon.I fixed the colors added a sun haze with a coffee shop action. added the grass to make it more alive. (again changed to soft light lowing the opacity.) the with the new moon bush I first made a new layer then added the moon lowing the opacity to make it more realistic. added a vignette then added the border texture. I think I fixed the colors again with actions. sharpened and reduced the noise and was done. NOW, this took a few hours to get it right. ( and I still see things I would change.) So be patient but do be creative. Textures can make amazing photos if you know how to use them and the only way to learn is by practicing.

The rest of this month and next I will be challenging you to create something way out of the norm using textures. On the last Thursday in October (which is the 27th) I will ask you to submit those photos. We will do a week long vote off for the best use of texture and there might be a prize for the winner!  So think way outside of the box and start working on it now! (keep checking back for more details.)
