On The Banks Of The Hudson
I shot the original version of this image a number of years ago… back in my “film” days! (I can’t wait for the day when my daughter says to me “Daddy tell me again how you used to shoot film…”) This path is located in Battery Park City next to the Hudson River-just a short distance south of where the World Trade Center used to stand.
I always liked the composition of the original shot but felt it was slightly lacking in mood and atmosphere. So into the world of textures I went. I wound up using a blend of two separate textures for the final image. One of the textures is my current favorite “Of Corpse Not” from Skeletal Mass on flickr. Here’s a link to the texture
One of the wonderful advantages of working with texture layers is that they can add so much emotion to a photo. This shot was taken right about dusk and the textures suggest the peace and tranquility of that time of day. I also like the fact that even though the park is fairly modern this scene looks as though it could have been snapped a hundred years ago.

Gorgeous shot Jim! Lovely moody feel to it!
Jim Nooney
Thank you very much Tina. Mood is something I always try to capture and express in my images. As I said in my description adding textures seems to be a great way to do just that.
