I shot this and many other images of Dandelion seed heads this past Spring with texture blending in mind. The process is very easy but success can be hit or miss depending on the type and color of texture you use on top of your image. This was one of the rare times when it worked perfectly. I love how it came together.
I applied 4 textures downloaded free from Image Abstraction and Flickr.

I got the idea for this montage after playing with Wordle earlier this week. (If you’ve never tried Wordle, CLICK HERE go to the website). I first searched online for the lyrics to the song “You Are My Sunshine” and then pasted them into Wordle. I combined the resulting word cloud with a flower, a ladybug and 3 images of textures. Lots of blending and assorted adjustments and here you go! I would have preferred a nice script but I never look a gift Wordle in the mouth 🙂

STOP! Back up! That’s what I yelled at Chris when I saw these mailboxes. I could have spent all morning shooting this scene but there were 3 very unfriendly dogs who became aggressive every time I got out of the car so my visions of multiple angle views didn’t happen. I need to work on becoming braver 🙂
I added a cloud image and 3 images of texture then blended the heck out them all to create the look of an old photo.

Another shot of Flagstaff’s Sunflowers. A calm morning made it easier to get a sun star.

If you missed getting to Flagstaff this past month, you missed the best show of Sunflowers in at least 10 years, they say. Here’s an HDR shot of one field early in the morning. I was lucky to have almost no wind.

This was a challenging scene to capture because the best vantage point was down a steep embankment off Schultz Pass Road. Totally worth the effort, though! Hope the color isn’t too far off. I’ve been transitioning to a new computer for a couple of weeks now and I’m not working on a calibrated monitor.

I hope to get back to Flagstaff at least one more day so I hope the flowers are still there!
