Perhaps its sacrilege to say but sometimes you’ll have a batch of images that don’t suit textures! They might already be busy enough or too dark, flash images or like the one above where I just wanted to keep it clean so you can still see the water splashes clearly. Its sister image ‘Jump’ that went viral on the net was slightly textured, but only to rebalance and colour, though that was way back as these days we’re cooking with gas, we love Nik color Efex pro here at Fly central and we love Flypaper Textures, put them together and you have a marriage made in heaven!

to the sea
Firstly we'd like to say a big thank you to Ben Willmore for helping publicise our Flypaper textures on his very informative live podcast last Monday and Tuesday! I've managed to watch around half of the many hours so far, and I have to say after downloading...
Stormy Sea now a book cover
It's always exciting to discover one of your photos used on a book cover so I was very happy to spy this Getty licensed Flypaper textured one being used so beautifully on the cover of this new book, Miss Fuller by April Bernard. The recipe has been published...

You can definitely feel winter is on its way here in southern New Zealand. On the day that this photo was taken the wind was decidedly brisk to say the least. As we walked down the beach I for one wished I'd brought a jacket. When we were almost back to the...
Albion on Sea
From Jill and I, 'Paul' hope you all had Happy Holidays! 🙂 As its now midwinter, I thought it might be nice to revisit the summer, last August on a balmy evening on England's Eastborne beach at sunset. One good thing about post-processing is its always possible to...
Looking North
Another photo of my favourite beach, taken on a warmer and sunnier day than the previous photo of it I posted here. I was lucky that I managed to catch a passing gull when I snapped this. Onto the processing... Beau Linge Paysage @ Soft Light 13% masked from the...
Thom Cross – Standing on the Edge of the World
Yet another Flypaper product to share, this time an indie pop CD/EP! Several months ago I was contacted by Thom, originally a New Zealander, and now a London based musician who wanted to use one or two of my images, naturally I was delighted to help, and sorted him...
at the watermark
Firstly, Jill and I would like to say a big Hi to the fans of the DPS site! It was a pleasure to answer questions for Mary Andrade's feature on - 'Tips for Texturing Photographs' over on the DPS site. For all newcomers to to Flypaper, simply mouse-over the images for...
the waves
We already spoke about three objects being better than two in an image, so I'm pleased to be able to put this maxim to use once again. Here two buoys wouldn't work quite as well as the three buoys! Overall we counted nine buoys. This stormy sea picture was great fun...
retro red boat
Back down from the mountains, on our local French Mediterranean beach the other day. I spied this washed up boat with sea foam in one of our local salt water lakes or 'etangs' in French, which are just behind our sand dunes. To achieve this easy retro look I first...
