Y2 Challenge - Textures

February 12th, 2012
This week we will work on textures which can be a combination of shooting a great texture shot and/or also using it a shot of texture to be an overlay to some other photo. So you can take a weeks worth of different textures, you can take some texture shots for themselves, or you can use those shots to create an overlay for new shots. This is a great way to work on composition, photography techniques and editing skills.
Tag is Y2textures

Next week will be lighting contrast.

@brumbe I just emailed the photo assignment spreadsheet to you.

@ca_thank you Devrin, I could not even find the email. So I thought it may have been texture, but it turns out texture was actually the assignment. Thanks for saving it.

I know I do not completely understand the challenges all the time, but like my texture on my flashlight. Thank you Paula for the weekly ideas, it really helps me. @brumbe

@scooter Hoping the links explain it better. I have no idea what I will be doing for the week yet.

@brumbe I will check out the links and hope I can come up with something, at least a few times. Thank you SO SO much for putting this all together, otherwise, I would be lost at this point.

This was not taken during the challenge time frame (it was last Monday, 02.06.12), but I wanted to share it and get started thinking about textures.
