Textures

1.Texture is the way a surface,substance or piece of cloth feels when you touch it.

2. Shooting textures take the challenge one step further: conveying to the viewers not only how something looks,but also how it feels to the touch.

3. Bricks often have added bonus of creating patterns and summetrical shapes. You can try photographing them en masse or up close for a different perspective.

4. I can photography a picture of a trees and leaves this texture is intersting because when you trees and leaves together it looks pretty good.

5. One touchable quality of paint is a shiny new coat of paint on a windowsill and old peeling or a thickly layered oil painting all invite the lens foward.

6. Cold, hard, smooth chipped: stone lends itself well to the study of texture, both in nature and more urban settings.

7.Every stage from forest to finished product presents a new opportunity: twisted roots, roughly chopped fire piles, shavings and splinters in the carpenter’s yard, smoothly sanded new grain, visible gnarls and knots, a slickly varnished chair leg – there’s never an uninspired photographer around wood!

8.Wonderfully soft velvet, itchy but warm wool, a deep shag pile carpet, rough sisal matting, smooth silk, fresh crisp cotton – the opportunities are endless, just take a quick look at what you’re wearing today and the furnishings around you.

9.Perhaps a less commonly-seen subject for many, rope has plenty of scope in the texture department. Ropes are found in the principles offices.

10.Smooth, cool and reflective, rusty, tarnished and dull, metal easily gives up its age and provides the photographer with another great texture to work on.
