Addicted to textures....

Ok, so I know I already did a blog post on textures, but I am just addicted to them now.  I love the way they can take an average photo and turn it into a work of art.  Below are some shots I have done the past couple of weeks.  Enjoy.

This one is of the old grain elevator that sits along the Cowboy Trail in O'Neill.  This was a pretty average shot, but the texture gives it life.

This is one of the buildings at Rock Falls that I used a texture I found on Deviant Art.

I once again found a use for the abandoned house across the street from me.

The "Almost Down" barn gets yet another treatment.

Rocket Bird

I took this photo a couple of years ago of my 1962 Thunderbird, but I thought it would be a good starting point for this blog.  This style of Thunderbird was nicknamed the "Rocket Bird" because of its rocket-shaped tail light design.  It was taken with a basic Canon Digital camera using the automatic features.  I loved the way it turned out.  Here is the photo information:
