It was another windy week in Santa Fe and though I tried to photograph some flowers in my yard I didn’t start early enough so had only moderate success in avoiding movement. In anticipation of a trip to Northern Arizona next week I started reviewing some pictures from a previous trip. I had also just purchased some grunge textures from French Kiss Textures. So when I saw this image of a grungy neon sign in Williams, AZ I thought why not try a little grunge on grunge. First I applied a preset in Topaz detail to sharpen it up, then I added the Grit filter from the Glorious Grunge Collection. Using a vivid light blending mode really made the colors pop…and maybe even brought in some new ones. I’m hoping the sign is still there this time as I would like to reshoot it giving myself a little more space to add a nice grungy border!
