DonSmith Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Every once in a while I like turning my inner artistic child loose during processing and I play with texture overlays. My favs are from Flypaper Textures. It's easy to do and adds a painterly look to my images. Here is one I did earlier this week while visiting family in Northern California. My wife Beri and I went our for an early morning walk at sunrise and there was some ground fog. I had my eye on this Oak snag and had been waiting for the right atmospheric conditions. The straight shot with was cool but by adding (2) textures, it elevated the look and feel of the image. Would love to hear your thoughts...

CarolineJensen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Yes! All the time. I love a painterly look so textures have been my bread and butter forever. This is a gorgeous image! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolineJensen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think this would be amazing printed on watercolor paper or a nice cotton rag. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Love that photo! I do it sometimes when I have a great photo of wildlife with a bad background. It’s actually a lot of fun and I find people love the technique whenever I show it. It’s great for landscapes too. It gives it a mix between photographic and artistic quality and definitely looks great when printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do seem to respond favorably - at least most of the time 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
