These flowers have been toweled off
Yesterday I posted a riveting image of a paper towel with a patten of dots and circles. Today, I converted that image to black and white, and added it as an overlay on this image I shot last spring (ah....spring....) of some crab apple flowers. Look closely, and you can see how the dots and texture in the overlay roughs up the surface of the flowers and branches. It's subtle, but it's there. Compare the two images zoomed in and you'll see.

What a great overlay Val! I love the dimension the texture gave the flowers....that is a texture I would be using more of....I like it's subtle effect!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This worked so well! I love it and might have to steal this one!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I don't know why, but I can read the comments better on your background than I can on some others. Not sure why, it almost looks like the print is in bold. (Hummm, it's Blogger, not Wordpress..might be it)
Hey, what a great idea. This turned out really nice - that texture is subtle but really adds something to the photo of the flowers. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI really like the final effect. I did take a couple pictures of a towel and its not easy getting a nice bright white. It took some editing. I may try again. The towel give it a nice extra texture.
ReplyDeleteSo nice, a subtle way to add dimension. I have been playing with texturing photos after seeing Lisa B's stuff and it is one more way to have fun. Careful though...
ReplyDeleteLove the texture on this....It does work well with photos...Thanxs so much for sharing this..
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting technique. I think I'd prefer something more random than the dots in a circular pattern, but the process does add some nice texture!
