Sail Away
Sometimes you don’t have to travel very far to find beauty. Last weekend we headed down to the Beaches in Toronto. We found a spot on the rocks where we could look out and enjoy the lake. People were going by in canoes and paddle boards but in the distance the sailboats were gliding smoothly through the water.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. This was taken early in the afternoon on a hot, sunny and hazy day. A texture overlay in post created the ambiance I envisioned in my head.

Ahhh, brings back wonderful memories of my childhood :). Love it Edith!

Oh I LOVE it! The sailboats echoing the front ones along with the beautiful tones. Simply beautiful! It has an older feel to it. Can’t quite put my finger on it but I adore the effect!

So where can I find that texture overlay? It’s a real beauty. OK, maybe your original image had something to do with it looking so good. Then again, maybe if I could use it on one of my own images I would look as good as you!

Hi Emilio, last summer there was a 5-Day Deal that was a package of Photography tutorials, ebooks, videos and textures by different photographers. This particular texture was part of the package. There were a few different photographers that included textures so I’ll double check who it came from and I’ll let you know. And Thank You!
