Textures and Overlays

I have been working with textures and cloud overlays this morning...still learning how to use them. The first pic is SOOC (straight out of the camera) with no edits and the second is the finished photo.

For this picture, I used a Shoot the Moon texture from Kindling 2 Luminescent Textures Collection in CS5 and a KML Creatives cloud overlay with tweaks here and there with a sharpening action. Both creators can be found on Facebook and they are on sale from time to time also. Easy peasy. Love how layers can add so much to a photo! 

Love this photo of our grandson, Jonah, on Lake Monroe beach. 

I used a few textures on this too.

Traveling Monday

Caught this one on my iPad while traveling back home to Missouri yesterday morning.

Beautiful Sky

Took this on my phone today as the sky was this gorgeous shade of blue.

More storms in Missouri today

This was taken on my phone in my office parking lot. The clouds had a lot of rotation with little fingers forming..going up and down. We believe the section in the middle later formed the tornado northeast of town.
