May 2012 - Texture

[Marko]

Hi members,

The level 2 assignment this month is texture.
(Just as an FYI, one of the best types of light to achieve texture is sidelight.)

Ok then, who will post first?

[lindsayb]

Me! I'll go…

Working on a series of everyday objects.

Interesting... reminds me of coral under the sea... even has a blue colour to it. Neat.

[lindsayb]

Thanks Iggy!

And another while I'm at it. Just feel inspired today… :)

lovely start lindsayb!

Deep into evening twilight, I took a time exposure of these sheer curtains from inside the darkened room. During the exposure, I fired a flash unit which was covered by a red plastic cup (finally thinking of some ideas from last month's assignment, too) , and this was held off to one side.

Interesting choice bambi - now I want to touch the flower's center.

not lit by a side light, just overhead light. This is leftover steak, sausage, baked potato, and grilled mushrooms from Saturday night. I cubed it up and re-heating in a black iropn skillet.

Nice shot Tiger. I didn't think about food for this one. My mouth is starting to water.

[Marko]

Cool find Greenleafjason!

Here are my contributions to this:

Woolen hat (although you cannot make the shape of the hat out, trust me on this ... :laughing:)

Great shots everyone. I have enjoyed the wide variety of textures.

This isnt really what I was hoping for, but here is the fruit from my Kaffir Lime tree.

and Steel Wire

Matt k- I can really feel the texture in that woollen hat and the driftwood butt is rough but sexy. :laughing:
Casil - dig the texture on the ropes - well done.
JR215 - I can feel the grit on the floor and tools.
Jas - nice selective focus and texture on the shells
runmonty - that fruit looks like a brain - very cool. Steel wire is captured in a fab way!

[lindsayb]

Always fascinating to see what everyone comes up with! Great stuff. :)

[Bambi]

as soon as I saw this I thought of the assignment!
