Color Pop--Texture Tuesday

This week's challenge at Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday was "Pop".  Just take a photo where the color pops (and use one of her textures)...that was it....easy, peasy!

The roses in my garden are starting to bloom and this orange rose is one of my favorites. I thought it would be the perfect subject (along with my sweet daughter..I love her green t-shirt and the pop of orange).  

For this photo, I used one layer of Kim's texture "charmed" with soft overlay at 35% opacity and erased the texture from my daughter using a layer mask and brush.  

If you have not visited Kim's site, you should POP on over.  There you will find all kinds of inspiration. From learning how to use textures, to Lightroom tricks, to little nuggets of wisdom....she is amazing!  I can't say enough great things about her.  She has truly been a huge influence on my photography journey.

Texture Tuesday--Flower Power

by: Kristina

It has been awhile since I played along with Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday prompts but this week I decided to jump back in.  I love, love, love her textures and the whole texture lovin community.   If you  are looking for another outlet for your photography, you should definitely check out Kim's site.  You will truly be inspired!

So here is my Flower Power photo for this week's Texture Tuesday prompt...... The photo was taken with my iPhone and edited with two layers of Kim's texture, Anna. So fun and easy to do!  Be sure to visit all of the other beautiful photos here.

Another Beautiful Texture From Kim Klassen

This week, I'm very late to Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday party but I wanted to put something up despite the fact it is Saturday!

I just love her textures and this week's challenge, put your twist on the number 2, was one I was excited to take on. The problem was kicking my boys off the computer to get a chance to work on my photos.

So here you go.....two leaves......

I used Kim's texture Phoebe at 85% soft light.

Kim Klassen Texture--and then some.......

I've never officially participated in a Texture Tuesday by Kim Klassen  but this week I decided to finally join the party.  As you probably know, we are HUGE fans of Kim.  She is an amazing artist and talented photographer and each week she shares a texture with her readers.   If you have not visited her site yet, click on over.....you will truly be inspired!

The photo above was edited with her texture "and then some." I used two layers (one as an overlay and one linear burn at varying opacities) and I love it!




Oh and guess who I met at Camp Shutter Sisters?  Yep, Kim!!!  Here is a picture of us on the last day of camp.   I was absolutely giddy to meet her.  Can you tell?
