I discovered the fabulous Kim Klassen Cafe several weeks or months ago. I was then reminded about it when my friend (and fellow Bee Girl) Andrea began participating in Texture Tuesdays not long after that. (By the way, Andrea has some amazing photography with textures ~ please visit! I love them all and look forward to seeing what she’s up to each week.)
So recently I revisited Kim and did her amazingly quick and simple Textures in Ten tutorial (free – and Kim also generously offers some free textures to get you started. Just sign up on her site!). Although I’d tried some textures in the past, I never really “got it” until Kim’s tute. Thanks, Kim! I have more to learn, but it will be fun practicing. Here is my first real shot at this. I started with a photo I took at our local Amish friends’ farm back in 2009.
I used Kim’s “Luminous” texture and kept it simple, mainly using her Textures in Ten tips. So easy, and so addictive, I must say. I look forward to learning more, and will try to participate in TT’s on a regular basis.
Check it out!
Have a wonderful Tuesday, friends!

That is gorgeous! Looks like a painting!
Just gorgeous ~ I Love it! Great job and hope to see more :-)
Happy TT!
I am SO IMPRESSED! That is really cool! I've not seen that "texture" before and I think it is gorgeous!! I'm also wondering how you can actually "write" over the picture on your blog header, and where you get that really AWESOME LOOKING "flat creek farm" logo??? Can you share your secret with a fellow Missouri blogger? There might be a can of fresh salsa and green beans in it for ya :)!!!
This is a beautifully dramatic shot, and your textures give it such a lovely vintage feel. Wonderful!
What a beautiful photo, and so nicely edited! Great job, and welcome to TT! (I miss horses in the worst way - your photo brought the longing back, big time...)
Great job! I love her textures! I haven't taken the tutorial yet but I just might have to now that you've mentioned it!
Beautiful photo. I love what the texture does to a photograph, giving it an antique vintage look. Will check out the tutorial, thank you for sharing.
Tammy, This is wonderful! I love those horses, especially the mane on the middle one and the texture just brings them all out, and that sky, whoa nelly!
Thanks for the shout out too. : )
Your fellow Bee Girl,
Andrea
The texture worked perfectly well with your beautiful photo!
Tammy you did a great job! Gorgeous! And those big old horses are gorgeous too. The sky is stunning. I am going to do the Textures in Ten. Andrea told me about it months ago and you would have thought her pictures would have been enough to get me going! After this post I am going to do it. Right now, if I can stay awake!
I always love Andrea's photos. the barn are beautiful. Now I will see beautiful work here to I'm sure!
You guys free either of the next two wednesdays? If so come on down. Or the next 2 Mondays we are free too.
This is your first texture work? Wow, you did great, and I love the photograph, so natural, and such beautiful horses.
Thank you for visiting and commenting :)
That is phenomenal!! GREAT job!
oh wow, this is pretty cool! love it tammy! i am going to go on her website now...thanks so much for sharing! :)
What a wonderful photo...thanks for sharing it and for telling us about the easy textures. Oh, if I didn't have such a fear of PhotoShop...can't someone just create simple textures without it?! I may just have to take the plunge...terrific inspiration you've given!
Loved this...and thanks for all the information. There is SO much to learn about all of these things.
All joys to you,

That is so beautiful! Love.
So beautiful Tammy!
New to your blog ~ and snooping around a bit. However, I think I'm already a texture fan. That is just lovely. Your photos are so pretty. Debi
Tammy, I tried leaving a comment the other day, but blogger was having issues. I love all your photography so when you add the textures it's just amazing. I keep thinking "I need to try that". Maybe in the Fall. :) How are the chickens doing???
Have a great weekend.
