| Description | |
Hello! I have very recently purchased a fine macro lens from a member. I have used it as a normal telephoto lens for now and have been impressed by the textures that I can capture. Please submit your photographs showing texture. An AI interpretation: In photography, texture refers to the perceived surface quality or feel of an object within an image, captured through variations in light, shadow, and detail. It's how the photographer represents the tactile sense of a subject's surface, whether rough, smooth, soft, or hard, and it significantly impacts the image's realism and depth. Have a look through your archives or pop out and take a fresh shot. Taken with Pentax or acceptable clones. Closes at midnight on 20th July. All the best! |

Hello
I am sorry for the delay in providing comments.
Good to see a reasonable number of entries; thank you all for making the effort.
Weathered Bark
by SSF1957
Bark...texture 101. I like this because the image is subtle. I would love to see more of that knot in the lower right.
Fine Devon Geology
by dewsburya
Ancient and wondrous with palpable texture. May I ask where this was taken?
Indigo
by kasperbergholt
The parts of the image that are not verging on black are interesting. Fabric. Have another go?
Frozen Beauty
by Nigelk
I needed that cold feeling in this weather. It is ice and it is well captured.
Water Textures
by Lubbyman
The sea, the sea. Always inspiring. It may be my eyes, but the texture doesn't quite break through.
Towel textures
by Noelcmn
An abstract take. Somewhat let down by, and again it might be my eyes (I use an Asus ProArt monitor), a lack of critical sharpness.
Dried
by Flan
A melange of textures...woody, petals and that background. Lovely.
So, as you know the winner is:
Dried
by Flan
Runner Up is:
Frozen Beauty
by Nigelk
Third, jointly:
Fine Devon Geology
by dewsburya
and
Weathered Bark
by SSF1957
Thank you all so much.
All the best
