Himalayan blue poppy




Still having fun with Totally Rad's Dirty Pictures texture plugin.
I thought that this mid eastern wall pattern would work well over the Himalayan blue poppy, kind of giving it a sense of place. The depth in this was created by painting out the texture from the orange center.
Back to Longwood Gardens in the morning!

Tony,

Are you able to use your own textures with the Totally Rad Dirty Pictures software or are you limited to just the ones that they have that ship with the software? The last couple of posts make it sound like you are using your own texture shots. So I am a little unclear.

The software comes with a set of 20 or so, but you can certainly add your own. The thing about TR is the ability to control how you apply the texture, and the ability to switch them in and out with ease without constantly opening and closing texture files.

Tony,

Thanks for the clarification.

Hey Tony, just visited your new blogs. You are putting out entries faster than I can keep up!

Great unexpected combination of image and texture.

Are you a photographer or a graphic designer? These are so heavily edited images that they don't even look like pictures anymore, more like graphic design.

Hey Anonymous: why can't we be both?

Amen Tony!
