Ubay's Texture Photo

Sorry folks, no tsunami texture photo. But how did I get this photo? For some reason, I was walking barefoot on gravel. Then I looked down and thought, "Hey, this could make a nice texture shot." And there you go.

Tiffany's Texture Shot

This is part of the aging fence that surrounds the Iolani Palace grounds. The rust and the ornate shapes on this post caught my eye and I went in for a closer look. Did you know that the palace used to have manicured gardens? I just learned that—and thought I'd share.

Challange #4: Texture

This week's challenge is on TEXTURE! Oh shnap! Flashbacks of intro to photog. This is what it's about: it can be of anything as long as some sort of texture (rough, smooth, contrasting textures of shadow and light, etc.) takes up 50% of the pic. So get in close to your subjects and show us what they're made of. You don't have to get in close. I just wanted to sound clever.

Joe's Red Photo

I was trying to be economical and shoot around the apartment again because my laziness is a disease. After many failed attempts at capturing color, especially red, I came up with this. It's the inside of my BRAIN. I used a macro lens … Alright, I'm kidding. It's just a photo of my roommate's knitted blanket.

Tiffany's Shot of Red

This red lei hanging from the wrist of Queen Liliuokalani caught my eye walking to work one morning. This statue stands in the front of the state capitol and is adorned with lei on a regular basis.
