Texture Tuesday - 27 May 2014

This week the theme was free and easy, so what to do, mmmmm.  I bet you know how it goes, walk around the house, pick something up, put it down, pick something else up and then there's the I wonder......


I picked up the bottle (bought in Sainsbury's a few weeks back), pulled 3 stems of Sweet William's out of a vase, placed a little table in front of a window with white linen tablecloth and a white reflector, and snapped away from all angles.

It's turned out with a bit of a sad feeling, so I call it "Bottled Memories".  In Lightroom I applied Kim's melancholy preset.  Then in Photoshop, 1 layer of kk_cherish at 58% soft light and 1 layer of kk_written at 45% soft light, removing some of both textures from over the flowers and bottle label.

  6. I wouldn't necessarily call it sad, but there is a certain melancholy over it - and that is something really nice. It's beautiful.
