This weeks challenge is to texturize people – these two do a pretty good job texturizing themselves with dirt! Brownie is always helpful so he joined in with the weeding. I removed a bit of the texture from man and dog, the heavier texture on the background blends the different elements and high-lights the central figures. The first layer of texture is “Granny’s cupboard” multiply 67%, the second is “chamomile” multiply 47%.
Happy Tuesday!
The Audrey headframe at the Little Daisy mine in Jerome. This is the largest wooden headframe still standing in Arizona.
The first layer is straight from the camera, the second layer is a copy of the background changed to black and white and set at colour dodge 67%, then the texture “stained linen” at multiply 61%.
The headframe has been opened to the public – the shaft is covered with glass and you can stand on it and look down, if you dare! This picture was taken through a grate next to the glass. The shaft was used to bring ore out of the mine, it’s 1900 feet deep and the water level is at 1500 feet.
The theme for this Tuesday is vintage – the picture was taken in Jerome, Arizona, a former ghost town that still has a few ghosts. If the door opened it would go under the highway now, but a grand building once stood here. I used the textures “Believe” multiply 80% and “Pour vous” multiply 60% over the central portion of the image – so there’s a little bit of handwriting on this old wall.
Happy Tuesday!
Yes, there’s a mouse in my teacup. When I was setting up for the photo Miss Mousey had to jump in the teacup and with her vintage handbag. There are two textures – “Life is Good” multiply 49% and “Warm Sun” multiply 72%.
Here’s the Parisian version of the photo, Miss Mousey likes things a la francais. The flourish is Rhonna Farrer’s Swirled Corners from Two Peas in a Bucket
Finally, the mid-century modern version with vintage plastic, the texture is “Love” multiply 60%.
Happy Tuesday!
This is my first post for Kim Klassen’s “Texture Tuesdays” more info is available on her blog Kim Klassen Café She creates and shares Photoshop textures and tutorials – like turning a watermark into a brush. I’ve never turned anything into a brush before, what fun! The texture used above is “Silence”, the effect on this photo is subtle – it added depth and I really like it.
