This image was taken at the lovely Mission in San Juan Bautista of St. John the Baptist. The light that day was very harsh but with working it over in layer adjustments and a texture layer I now really like the image I almost tossed out. The texture I used was from Kim Klassen's collection called Worn and Weathered which I used two times. one time at a linear burn 58% and then I duplicated the layer in a different position and set it at soft light 94%. I really like how the texture fixed the horrible harsh sky. I did add a couple little brush squiggles in the upper right hand corner at the very end. Enjoy ~
I have been getting some time to play with the wonderful photos I took when Don and I were in California last Thanksgiving. This is such a beautiful shot of the Santa Cruz Light House at the Surfing Museum area. As we walked along the long path, the temps were warm, air calm and people were walking their dogs, painting the scenery, playing on the beach. It was a slice of heaven with the ocean glittering and sun just overcast enough to allow for some wonderful photos.
