Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo this week that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. This challenge is all about getting you out there (or inside) with your camera and shooting something you perhaps wouldn't normally photograph. Have some fun experimenting!
The rules are simple.
Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
Your photo(s) should be taken during the week of the theme.
You are allowed to do some photoshopping.
NOTE:
Let's look for texture this week! The texture you capture may be nature- or man-made. Just grab your camera and look at the world around you.

Thanks for the theme Sepiana! This weathered statue has some texture. (And on a side note ... we finally have a rhododendron in bloom, and it's not supposed to storm again until tomorrow evening!)  |

billz....after seeing your star magnolia from last week's challenge I went to a local park to see how ours looked this year.....sadly much like yours. I took a picture anyway thinking maybe it could be saved by some textures to fit this week's theme.....but it's not happening!

Bill, great way to start this challenge! I can almost feel the texture of the statue, increased by the weathering effect. Great capture!
BTW, we have had nothing but storms since last night. Maybe, if we are lucky, we will get a three-day break.

Maybe you could go for a close-up and capture the texture of the star magnolia (even if it looks "sad"). This will be in the spirit of this week's theme (compared to adding texture(s) in post-processing). |

Some sort of moss on a tree trunk stump.  Horse chestnut tree bark.  |

c1.staticflickr.com/3/2912/33875873021_457f1fe556_b.jpgWhile I was taking this picture I had a more abstract genre in mind than texture. Nevertheless, it may still fit with the texture theme. The image shows about two square feet of ice fragments floating on a riverbank (Outaouais River, near Ottawa). The picture was taken last Sunday, in the middle of a warm but grey and windy Spring afternoon. It is a color picture, taken in RAW format. It has not been converted to black and white. I used the basic panel and the tone curve tool in Lightroom, mainly to increase the contrast. A little bit of detail and clarity were added. Where the picture was taken, the river is almost three kilometres wide. The week before, from the same point of view, it seemed totally covered with one single large piece of ice. Now, there were only a few feet of loose fragments floating along the shore. The waves beating the shore were imitating the sound of the sea. Following the movement of the water, as an answer to its call, ice fragments hitting each other were adding to the natural rhythm of the waves a nice and gentle high-pitched accompaniment, as would have done an animated glass chime. So, simply put: this is an abstract black and white color texture with a gentle glass chime sound wave.

Fauxtoto. I really enjoyed reading the description of your picture.
I could see and hear it, in my mind's eye.

A sampling of textures from a walk in the park today - mostly wood but I couldn't resist throwing in some spring flowers (and some Jodi frames)!  Tony |

The word "texture" rang an immediate bell in my mind. I have always been fascinated by the bark of trees and enjoyed admiring their many different textures. Here's one I noticed today.
