The Louvre Courtyard

What’s a trip to Paris without a trip to the Louvre’? As I was passing between 2 exhibits in the early afternoon, I happened to catch a pretty cool view of the courtyard. The lighting reflection really captured my attention, but my camera sensor didn’t quite capture what I remembered seeing. Let me reword that, I wasn’t able to get the camera to record what I saw…..kinda sounded like I was blaming my poor camera! That being said, 2 years later now, I painted in a little texture to enhance. Enjoy 🙂

    Hey Kara, thanks alot. I bought Trey Ratcliff’s (Stuck in Customs) texture package. He’s got some cool ones from all over the world. He also includes a little video of him actually creating applying some of his texture’s to his images……nice stuff. I like this one. It has paint running on a wall. Kinda cool. I also take a few of my own shots as well as some I got on flickr. I would like to give credit every time, but I kinda get artistically carried away and forget which ones I am using. I recognize this one though. My God, Is this a long enough answer or what….what am I babbling about!

    C YA .. Thanks again 🙂ReplyCancel
