Sunday afternoon, I got an itch to shoot some macros. So, I went outside to see what I could find. Sure, most of the flowers have died, our grass is going into hibernation and our leaves are falling, but I found some incredible macros and bokeh! Although many of my shots are still on my SD card, I wanted to start practicing some of the lessons I’ve learned through Kim Klassen’s Skinny Mini course. Here’s my SOOC shot.
Lens: Sigma 105 mm, ISO 100, f/4, 1/160 exposure
I don’t consider myself a novice when it comes to texture, however, I rarely consider using the photo itself with varying blending modes to change the image. In this particular case, I went through the following layers:
- Background Copy 1 – Blending Mode: Soft Light – Opacity: 30%
- Greyday Texture by Kim Klassen – Blending Mode: Screen – Opacity: 45%
- Background Copy 2 – Blending Mode: Overlay – Opacity: 60%
- Color-Fill Layer (Dark Pink) – Blending Mode: Overlay – Opacity: 40%
- Background Copy 3 – Blending Mode: Multiply – Opacity: 12%
- Cafe Au Lait Texture by Betty Jo – Blending Mode: Screen – Opacity: 16%
- Color-Fill Layer (Cream) – Blending Mode: Hue – Opacity: 20%
- Background Copy 4 – Blending Mode: Hard Light – Opacity: 8%
