This year I have been doing a e-course with Kim Klassen called "Beyond Layers", and have been learning lots about processing and textures.
Here's a few from the last few weeks
Day 23 - Pastel Processing.
Chrysanthemums overlayed with Kim's "Now" texture added, and soft framing.
Day 23 - we were introduced to
"RadLab". - it is a processing package with lots of easy cool effects you just click on to get the effect you want. You can get a free trial - click on the link to have a look - Rad Lab
I have always wondered how people got these vintage sun washed tones -
and here it is - easy as easy - in RadLab! They have all sorts of
effects you can get at the click of a button!
Below you can see the before and after.
For day 27 of Kim's Beyond Layers e-course the challenge was to
process one image three different ways.
I was given these delicious pears by my friend who owns a small
property. And I photographed them this morning on my back patio -
natural morning light - on a set of old boards. The plate is courtesy
of my mother-in-laws china cabinet.
The first image is with levels & saturation adjusted, the second
is converted to black and white, and the third is overlayed with 2 of
Kim's textures - "Thursday" and "Oh my".
I always think when you try new sorts of processing that is nice to
show the original and the processed -
so here we have autumn mornings brought to you by Radlabs
"cinnamon toast" processing - do you like the morning light
glow?
Day 25.
This image taken last weekend on my sister's familie's wheatbelt farm
in Bruce Rock - overlayed with Kim's texture - "I am" and
one of her "Affirmation" brush texts.
This is a favourite walk when we are out at the farm.
Can you see the birds flying off over the hill?

Take care and have a wonderful week. I always look forward to your comments.
Stunning photos and I do like to see before and after shots.
ReplyDeleteThose were all beautiful - and I liked the before and after views. The sun-washed, vintage effect is lovely and I could think of all sorts of photos to which I'd like to apply this.
ReplyDeleteOh Jill I can see you are getting a lot of those course. The textures are wonderful and I do love the rad lab overlays too. Your photos just help the processing along though as they are gorgeous to start with. V
ReplyDeleteThe pears are beautiful works of art. Awesome work.
ReplyDeleteFun to see your beautiful images and the different textures and overlays you use.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos Jill.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with your photos. There are a couple that I prefer in the original state though, but that's just my personal preference. I'm always so impressed by a wonderful original photo because that's the hardest part. :)
ReplyDeleteI ADORE everything that you create with your lovely photographs, just wonderful~
