The Daily Texture for 09/10/2015
First Storm Of The Season
| Today's Daily Texture is another fun one, inspired by our first storm of the fall season yesterday! Dramatic lighting with autumn tones and some rain make up this fabulous background texture. I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for, too. I have several animal photos where the pose is somewhat "blah". Not exciting enough to publish on their own, these animals work perfect when integrated into a scene like this. The original photo I used for this example had three horses - two grazing and one walking {on a rainy day}. I could SO picture the walking horse in a storm, so I resized him smaller, masked away the background and the other two horses, and placed him on top of today's texture. Then I duplicated the texture layer and placed it on top, setting it to soft light at 100%. This layer mode offered a great play between light and dark, but it made the horse too dark. So, with a BIG, SOFT brush at a lowered opacity, I masked away some of this top layer - from the middle of the sky to just over the horses back. This brought some light back to the horse and the center of the sky, making my work of photo art look just like I envisioned! |  P.S.
