I am a little late with this week's image for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. I missed last week completely. The challenge this week was gardening. My cousin grows this wisteria out on the swimming pool deck. I shot it with a Lensbaby Composer and Fisheye Optic.

Textures by Kim Klassen: Cinnamon & Trust

Focusing on the side panel of the candle lantern. Such lovely silhouettes.

EDIT: Contrasts of light/dark; smooth/rough

Crackle and Pop!! Okay, I know it should be one word but there is always three words to describe Rice Krispies!! Maybe, my title with one word will allow me to stay ;-)

7 Days of Shooting Week #14 Onomatopoeia Texture Tuesday ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

7 Days of Shooting –

Week #16 (w/b 25 October) Graveyards/Cemeteries- Sometimes, we just need to go to places that are possibly considered morbid and even uncomfortable. However, there is no question that for wonderful moody shots graveyards can help us catch some wonderful history and even beauty through those old gravestones and elaborate sculptures. However, if you are like me you will not be taking any night shots!!

Texture Tuesday - Texture in photography emphasizes features and details, so the detail in the surface of the object(s) you are photographing should be the most important feature of the image.

This week the challenge was to choose a photo and some of Kim's awesome new LR presets and textures and 'have our way with them'! I experimented with four photos and myriad combinations - all of which I loved - but this one was my favourite...both with and without the quote!

The deets:

In LR:

cropped and adjusted highlights

applied kk_daysofold preset - adjusted tone curve and saturation

exported to PSE

In PSE:

one layer kk_lulu overlay blending mode @ 80%

one layer kk_2Bwarmly multiply blending mode @ 77%

watermarked & saved for web

Update: Though initially created for 2B, this photo will also be posted on Kim's Facebook for Texture Tuesday 4.6.13 to create healing hope for Kim and John

HDR, 3 shots -1,0+1, shot at f4, added texture, shot in vivid camera setting, then reduced the sat in photoshop, added a center spot light

7 Days of Shooting – Week #29 (w/b 22 January) Imitations

Things that are not the real thing eg. mannequins, dolls, chocolate bunnies, Monopoly money and so many other things.

There are a lot of fake things around. My notebook cover has a fake leather look, it is probably some sort of modern plastic, I really don't know

Happy Bokeh Wednesday

The design on the top in the middle of the froth is a heart shape:-)

A wonderful afternoon in Roanoke, Virginia.

A perfect spring day for the Farmer's market and a bit of the Blues.

Playing for Change, as they do but also playing for Change in the World.

Spending time in the out of doors, listening to music while surrounded by many others that you have not met, yet all get along and enjoy what "the moment" has to offer. That's what music does.

It is the window to the soul. A way to connect and enjoy.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my photo. Any comments or faves you leave will be much appreciated.

Processed especially for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday using one layer of her 'black magic scripted' texture (screen mode, 80%), plus erased a little from the script corner using a soft brush - added a layer mask to the texture first.

I also used an action by Isabelle LaFrance before adding the texture layer.

It's Tuesday again and another chance to blend Kim Klassen's Textures. The challenge this week was to somehow use the number 3, So I have cut 3 Hydrangea from my huge plant outside and combined them with Kim's latest Texture Canvas Back at 60% Opacity.

Happy Totally Texture Tuesday everyone.

Thanks for stopping to view, comment and fave my image, all are very much appreciated :o)

View through the "windows" of the canal boat of the C&O canal, Great Falls Tavern, and Lock 20. ("Windows" in quotes because on this boat there is no mechanism to cover them, although I have been on similar boats where there were such devices.)

Lewis has been "flying" around on his bike, today and after he "parked" it for the day I thought this would do!!

As they are delivered these caps are child-safe and virtually un-openable by adults with a little "history" in their hands. Upside down they would pose a risk to children but they provide easy access for adults.

for 7DoS: I'm limited to my iPhone and wifi for shots while I'm away, so I wasn't able to tidy the background on this shot

Salad with balsamic glaze and egg on top!

These might have made a better picture when they contained small hexagonal crackers but ... this is all that was left when I thought to grab the camera.

Sparks from a fire made holes in my cotton jacket and I appliqued these heart patches on using a heart embroidery stitch on the sewing machine.

Part of Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday...use one of Kim's textures and use a love or valentine theme. This cross is placed on the headstone of my grandparents from when we visited the grave in May.

Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia

This statue is utterly fascinating. It depicts three of Austin's favorite sons in a deep discussion...with much friendly arguing thrown in I bet.

EDIT: Seemed appropriate for "Texture Tuesday"

This bridge across Lock 24 could not have been here when the canal was operating; the boats would have bumped into it and it would have blocked the way for the tow ropes. Now that this part of the C&O Canal is dry the bridge provides convenient access to the tow path for walkers and bikers.

This wonderful statue, by John Clinch, stands within Buchanan Street Bus Station in Glasgow. It is called the "Winchers Stance" and the couple could be saying cheerio!!

If you are not Scottish "Winchers" would be a couple who are going out with each other.
