Making New Textures

Note: Right now I'm in the middle of packing up my house, so these posts may be shorter than normal.  Never fear, I'll return to regularly scheduled posts as soon as I can.

A while back I made a texture pack and release it for sale, but despite my best efforts, I haven't released a follow up pack yet.  I have, however, been working on new textures for a while, they just haven't coalesced into a whole set yet.

Sophisticate

There's so much going on right now in my house, but I'm still working to put up some new pieces for sale.   Meet Sophisticate, available in my Society6 store.

Red

There are times when I just really love the way the color red stands out in a photograph.  There's something about capturing the various shades of red in all of their glory that can take the breath away.

Slush Pile: Montreal

One of these days, I'm going to do a longer post with some of the awesome buildings I've photographed.  This one from last August in Montreal, came out especially nice in black and white.  Unfortunately, I was on a bus tour and didn't write down information as I took the photos, so while I can recall many of the general areas where I took the photos, I don't know the individual buildings.

Montreal, I'll be back soon!

Taking it to the Limit

The title of this post might sound extreme, but it's really about knowing your limits and when to slow down.

Slush Pile: Beach Day

This is an older photo of mine that I don't think I've ever edited before.  I like to go through my older pictures and just see what's there.  Something I might have hated back when I took it can look completely different to me once some time has passed.

Preview: Sweater Weather

It's just warming up outside in my part of the country, but in some places of the world, it's Sweater Weather.  Which also happens to be the name of my new preset for Lightroom, previewed here.

About This Photo: Tumble Down Fire

Tumble Down Fire is one of my favorite autumnal photos that I've taken.  Let me tell you a little about how it came to be.

Slush Pile: Fog

The photos I took in this set will always be favorites of mine.  On a day where intense fog rolled in the evening, my husband came home and said "it's zombie weather outside".  I immediately ran to get my camera.  Fog is so much fun to photograph.

My street doesn't normally look like this; this fog was exceptional.  I don't even think I took my big camera out because I was in such a rush to get outside, I just grabbed my powershot and went.  It reminds me of the beginning of a horror film - before life starts to unravel, and when the audience knows that something is coming soon.

I edited this photo of the end of my street with my Lightroom Preset Multigrain, available in the Black and White Collection and the Premier Bundle on my gumroad store.
