Daily Photo – Lake Hayes with Texture
Departing from my usual writing narrative that accompanies my images, I wanted to allow myself to change direction every now and then with posts for something different. So, with that in mind, I thought I’d put up a post about using textures in photos.
If you don’t mind a bit of enhancement in your images, textures are a really fun concept to play around with. When you add textures to photos, you do so via layers. The more textures you want to add to a photo, the more layers you require. I’ve done images with simple two or three layers of textures and more complex images that have over thirty to forty layers on them. Once you know how to add textures to an image, the real trick is knowing when to stop as it’s easy to kill an image with too many textures.
This image of Lake Hayes has around twelve to fifteen layers including some split tones from memory.
