Trees, with texture
This image of the trail we were hiking was rather blah out of camera - gray light, filtered by pine needles, brown dirt, brown trunks, brown & green needles. I played around with some overlays on this image. Earlier in the hike, I'd taken a picture of the rusty rail of a bridge, so I used that as my base overlay, to add some texture. I then added a second overlay from Jerry Jones' wonderful Skeletal Mess texture collection (found here...). After playing around with blend modes, I ended up with this.

That's really pretty, Val. I like the way the light seems to be filtering through the trees. I'd like to do some more experimenting with textures. Thanks for reminding me!

ReplyDeleteI love pictures of trees/nature. This one is great! I'm going to have to figure out my processing program. I just post it like I take it but I love what you have done here. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVal, this is one of my very favorites so far this year! I love the treatment and the colors. Super!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully eerie shot! It makes one feel a bit of both trepidation and anticipation in regards to stepping forward into that woods. The lighting is haunting.
ReplyDeleteThese woods almost look a little mysterious! Look out Little Red Riding Hood!
ReplyDeleteNice how the texture added warmth and a bit of mystery. Playing with textures is such big fun.
