CoffeeShop "Artisanal Fine Art Textures Set #6"



I have been working on a new action and I can't wait to share it with you once it is finished! So today I am posting a new fine art texture set. This painterly set contains a gold, brown, and silver texture. I usually use them in soft light, overlay, and multiply blending modes.

And like most of my designs on my site, you can use these any way you like including your commercial work (without attribution), just please don't sell them "as-is". I want to keep them free. :-)



I made these distressed painterly textures with this original image and Topaz Impression Photoshop/PSE plug-in (app).



The gorgeous original floral image above is from Bloom Photography and the original "Winter Portrait", "Bird Nest" and "Father Fireworks" can be downloaded here.

{Friday Photo Bliss}: Macro Nifty 50

It has been hot as Hades most of the summer, so I haven't been out shooting with my "real" camera much. However, I started to miss her and even though the heat index has reached 100 this week, I decided to pull out my dusty beloved big camera and practice shooting manual.

I remembered this "Nifty Fifty Macro" tutorial I wrote years ago and decided to create some fun macro images.  These images don't have the sharp focus of a real macro lens, but personally I love the tilt-lens artistic vibe coming off them. ;-)

All of the images below were shot in my backyard in hot, humid conditions with a 80-pound puppy following me around everywhere. Try taking a macro photo of a tiny flower when your giant puppy keeps on trying to lick your lens.

I used the new Pretty Presets "Pretty Film Pastels Collection" presets on all of these images. I love these presets, and found they work on so many different types of images, not just portraits.  My favorite for these edits was "Warm Blush". You can still grab them on sale for only $34 this week.

I also used the new gorgeous textures from the Flypaper "Tempest Painterly" Texture set on many of my images below.

If you have a less-than-stellar macro image (because you are shooting with a cheap but amazing 50mm lens that is backwards on your camera!), I use a little editing trick to turn it into something special. Make a copy of the image in Photoshop and apply a high pass filter of 10-20 to that copy, and put the layer in overlay or soft light blending mode. Then add a texture to the image in soft light or overlay blending mode.


 This is my absolutely favorite one of the set.


This was growing on one of our fire-pit logs.


We have a few trees (well, it is actually a bush) that have colorful fall leaves.


I took about 10 shots of this little tiny weed flower and just happened to get a perfect one with my little ant friend.


I have a few roses left on my deer-eaten rosebushes.




This final image was taken with my Nifty 50, but this time I tried the free-lensing technique. I need a lot more practice, but it is so fun playing with my lens!
