Clouds and Blossoms [Contest Finalists February 2012]
Uploaded: February 18, 2012 10:27:53
I took this photo in the cemetery near my home a couple of years ago. I recently came across it when going through my archives and decided to see what would happen if I applied some textures to it. I coudn't have done that a couple of years ago, since I've only just recently bought and made some textures and learned how to use them. I think the texture work has really improved the image.
Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.33, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D3000

Thank you very much, Pat, Marilyn and Jo Ann. Jo Ann, I'm afraid I don't remember which texture(s) I used on this image. The only textures I own are by FlyPaper and FrenchKiss, so it would have had to be one or more of those. Since I made that image, I've purchased another set of textures from FrenchKiss, and I'm now using those, too. #10057576Gerda Grice March 26, 2012
Hi, Jo Ann, I remember now that is was one or more of the FrenchKiss Craquelure series of textures. Hope this helps.Merna L. Nobile March 30, 2012
