mouse over for original image
Texture Tuesday is here again! How do the weeks go by so quickly? No big challenge this week just free and easy! I don't usually do dark and brooding photos but the storms that rolled through last weekend were just that... I was able to spend time outside shooting the sky as the clouds rumbled through and the energy in the air changed. The electricity was palpable. In this photo I added many layers. I also tweaked the levels to bring out the darker side of my image. :) I've used two layers of kkweathered one at multiply 72%, the next at multiply 74% I used masks on both layers and removed some of the texture from the edge of the trees. The next layer I chose was coolgrunge at 100% multiply (love that effect) and a final layer of silence on darker color 100%. I like the dark edgy look of the final image. This is quite a departure. The original image is below.

Peace!

Could be on a book cover that begins, "...it was a dark and stormy night ...". Great work.
stunning - makes me think of telling scary stories when camping as kids
This is beautiful, Barbara! You've captured that feel of a warm, intensely charged nighttime thunderstorm.
Thanks ladies! It was fun processing this photo and it certainly was a dark and stormy night.... sadly it's turned into a dark and stormy week with cloudy, rainy cold weather in these parts. Mother nature is so fickle!
Peace!
fantastic photo and editing...i love a good storm!
I never would have thought of texturing a sky shot - this is lovely!
Has a Van Gogh feeling to it. :)
Such a lovely shot! Seems too serene for a stormy night:)
I really LOVE the texture you added. Great phot made even better with the editing!
I love this image ~ it reminds me of story illustrations. Nicely done :-)
Such a cool photo! It looks like it could illustrate a ghost story....
Nice work! The textured image would make a great Wuthering Heights cover.
I love what you did with this.
