When shooting texture i wanted to incorporate as many different surfaces as possible, for this i decided to focus more on nature as i believed i would be able to find more types of texture there. i went out to shoot in the local town.
For the first image, i shot the lichen on the top of a post box, i was automatically drawn to it because of the contrast of colours, when i looked on top i realized that it was also very textured, i also really like the angle of the shot as the top of the post box is rounded and that is visible in the picture as certain parts are in focus and some are not.
For the second image i love the contrast of the colours and the angle of the shot as it is taken from a slant and sort of follows the trunk of the tree, i love how the main subjects are the 2 trees at the front are in focus and the backdrop merges all together with the whole of the picture. originally i took the picture because of the detail of texture that i wanted to show on the bark of the tree.
Progression: in the future when shooting texture i would like to incorporate animals as they offer a lot of texture and diversity in form, i think they would be interesting to shoot and would give a lot to the formal element.
When shooting texture i would like to shoot a closeup in a dark room as i would be able to control the amount of light and therefore get greater detail in showing off the texture of my subject.
