Topaz Labs has just released a new special effects filter called Texture Effects. I should mention that I LOVE Topaz Labs products. So when this new one was released I just couldn't resist.
I played around with it the other night just for fun. These products are so easy to use you can just jump right in there and get some cool effects. But they are also very powerful editing programs that can give you some amazing effects if you take the time to really work with them. There is a bit of a learning curve because there are so many options and effects but fortunately Topaz Labs has many webinars and videos to help you get the most out of the program.
On this first picture I had had some difficulty with my camera settings. I seem to have trouble at night under red lights. Hopefully I will figure it out some day! It was much darker than it appears and the area was lit with red spotlights. Very creepy but didn't translate well in the photo. I wanted to see if I could salvage this mess and get a usable image with a dark, old world vibe.

| Scary ladies at the Busch Gardens Unearthed Haunted House |
This next one is just a standard amusement park shot. I do love the carousel horses at Busch Gardens. They are painted authentically and the park really keeps them in great shape. I thought I would give it a somewhat grungy neon look.
Here are the original photos.

If you like to play around with special effects you might like to give Texture Effects a try. They offer a free 30 day trial version.
I'm really hoping to get my fall photos posted before Christmas catches up with me! It's not likely to happy but I can dream, can't I?
