to "draw" texture with light! I like it. it is unique.

 

I agree with the above comment here. The texture is more graphical, a result of the exposure time, than the actual texture of the objects shot.

 

It gives delicate and "artistic" results (I cannot find a better word).

 

Just for fun I've pushed it a bit on the curves, rotated the yellows towards greens and boost saturation. Hope you don't mind.

 

 

I could not resist trying it in B&W.

 

Vallery - I'm glad you like it.

 

Joe - I had a lot of fun with this. Your hue changes are subtle, but noticable. I worked with this image for a while (it's the original without even levels applied) but decided I liked the delicate feel the way it is. To me, the best compliment is that you're enjoying it. Thanks.

I like this for its different take on 'Texture' - the camera creates the texture. I like the feel alot. I prefer this version personally - it shows the most detail and colours most subtly.

Soft delicate feel, even if the tree was a scratchy one - so you have succeeded in creating your own mood and texture PT. Very nicely done. It looks almost like rain on a hot day.

 

I like the colours of the original but might consider darkening the bottom edge a tiny bit.

 

Would you be prepared to share technical details ?

Technical Details: The plant is a new rose bush. It came up from seed this year and is approximately 18in/50cm tall. I waited until the plant was in full sun and the background in shade. ISO 100, 24mm lens, circular polarizer, f/29, 1/8 second; hand-held.

 

Ooops; that was for the wrong photo. ISO 100, 50mm lens, circular polarizer, f/22, 1 sec; hand held.

Interesting experimentation PT. Creating texture this way is something I would not have thought about.

 

But to be honest, I would not hang this photo. By that, I mean that I don't think it works that well as a photo outside of this theme. I guess that playing with some elements in PShop, like removing the magenta cast, and increasing contrast locally could make it better. Right now, I find it is half way between a shot taken by mistake, and a deliberated work of art. You have to make it more look like a painting I think.

IMHO This photo is the answer to anti-texture, this is not to say that I don't like the work. It just doesn't appear "on task".

according to me there is no themefit.

I looked at the dictionary explaining the texture:

xx

1. A structure of interwoven fibers or other elements.

2. The distinctive physical composition or structure of something, especially with respect to the size, shape, and arrangment of its parts: the texture of sandy soil; the texture of cooked fish.

3. The appearance and feel of a surface: the smooth texture of soap.

4. Distinctive or identifying quality or character: "an intensely meditative poet [who] conveys the religious and cultural texture of time spent in a Benedictine monastery" New York Times.

5. The quality given to a piece of art, literature, or music by the interrelationship of its elements:

 

 

It shows light/colour pattern - both natural entities without the texture (they are not solid or liquid)

 

cheers Jana

I'm quite happy with the theme fit (it's OK to disagree!), perhaps definition No 5) quality given to a piece of art .. by the interrelationship of its elements ? I see a visual texture - sort of like an illusion of a real texture.
