FINE TEXTURES AND PHOTOGRAPHIC OVERLAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AND MORE

Sunday Stroll


I've got lots of photos like this with distant people walking on the beach, at one stage I'd have wanted an completely deserted beach but now I seek out opportunities like this.  Luckily our beaches down here are often all but deserted, especially at this time of the year.

Now the processing, I think I used a texture from each pack in this one.
Sariel Leather @ soft light 100% blurred
Fly Edges 16 @ Multiply 60%
Voyageur Map @ Soft Light 100%
Algae@ Overlay 100%
Tarte Tatin @ Screen 22% masked from the sky
Ming @ Overlay 100% masked from the beach
And it was done!

I love what you did with this! It's so beautiful after your treatment. Yesterday we went to the beach, hoping for just such a scene--one or two people strolling along. But it was a hot day and everybody was there, along with umbrellas, chairs, dogs, kids, kites--you name it!

Superb, and love the way you used a texture from each
and every flypaper pack!

Thanks Colleen -I can just imagine, even in midsummer there wouldn't be many people on this beach.
Thanks Paul, I'm looking forward to seeing some Flypapered UK beaches from you :-)

Jill, how do you know/decide which texture(s) to use?

Jill, I would love to know who you know/decide which texture(s) to use. Is it just trial and error? BTW, this piece is stunning.

Thanks Anne. Yes, it mainly is trial and error with a pinch of intuition and luck :-) In this photo for example I probably tried another 6 or 7 textures (at least) before settling on the ones you see here. I know my flypapers pretty well by now and have an idea of what will work or will give the look I want.
