I truly enjoy Downton Abbey, as I do a good many BBC shows (Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch - OMG!) so when the very generous and talented Kim Klassen issued her latest group of textures as the Downton Collection there was no way I wasn't going to find something to apply it to. I've decided to work through the many snow pictures I took over the weekend, particularly since I'm hesitant to go out and collect muddy pictures just to have something to apply more texture to.

This one didn't get the Downton treatment, but I figured I might as well throw it in the mix to round out my snow pictures. It was inspired by Deanna's header snow-blow shot, but I'm on the rail about the (lack of) crop - tempted to crop in more.

ReplyDeleteI do like to see images like this that have been turned into personalized works of art. For sure there are occasions where a SOOC is best, but I think of my camera mostly as one tool to help achieve the artist's vision so, I'm happy to see shots that have been transformed by software, or any other media, into what you want them to be.
Beautiful shots...It's amazing how textures can change a photograph so much...Well done...
ReplyDeleteGood "winter" shots!
ReplyDeleteThe textures are perfect for those shots.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the last one, though. Great capture.
Wonderful photos!!
ReplyDeleteAll great shots but that last one is my favorite. I see what you mean about the cropping but I think it's perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteOh fun, fun shots. And I do like that last one...so winter, so fun!! And thanks for the mention again.
ReplyDeleteOh! I love hw these turned out.!
ReplyDeleteI love that snow blower image in Deanna's header too! Love yours as well... I started a new rural meme today, called 'Rurality,' interested??
ReplyDeleteMadge - a day behind getting back to my blog - but I will most definitely try to link up. Thanks!
DeleteYou're welcome, Nicki... Thank you for joining in 'Rurality Blog Hop #1' Hope to see you next Wednesday for #2...
DeleteLove these! Beautiful snowy captures!
ReplyDeleteLoving these Nicki-that last one.... Total love
ReplyDeleteGreat job using textures, Nicki! The first picture is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! Your first is also my favorite. And, as you've so often done, you have in one single post, enabled me in two directions--Downton Abbey and Downton textures. I have Downton Abbey on my to-be-watched list, and now I'm going to google the textures. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDownton and Sherlock rock! Love your pictures :) They are truly breathtaking!!!
