Textures And Your Photos

December 15, 2008 Photography  No comments

Textures are HOT right now.  Whether you use them on photos taken of families or seniors, landscapes, wildlife, pets, or just add them to your own personal photos…they create some amazing effects.  Once you get the hang of it, adding texture to your photos isn’t hard at all.  There’s no set ‘rules’ on how to add texture except…you need to find some textures.  I’ll go into that later in this post.

My husband and I, and both of my parents went on the Hendry County Farm Tour this past weekend.  There were a total of three FULL tour busses in our group..I was surprised at how many people took the tour!  We had a great time and it was interesting to learn about the agriculture and the businesses around the area where we live.  From doing that tour we’ve decided to buy as much produce from local farmers as we can instead of buying it all at the grocery store (there is a vegetable stand we pass to and from work that we will shop at).  And if we do have to buy it at the grocery store, we’re making sure that whatever we buy has been grown in the US.
