Lens Artists Photo Challenge #397 – Texture

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , , , ,

Anne’s challenge is to show images where texture plays an integral part. She tells us “Texture helps my two-dimensional examples have a three-dimensional quality.”

For me, the beach is a place of many textures. In some places the sand is soft, and others the powerful wave action of the ocean crushes the shells creating a rough texture that’s not fun to walk on in bare feet.

Powerful ocean waves can also create these smooth rocks

Driftwood on the beach becomes weathered by the elements creating a rough texture on the wood. Barnacles can attach themselves to the driftwood creating a crusty texture. Running your had along these sharp barnacles could easily cause you to get a cut.

Salt air, wind, rain and the heat from the sun can cause wooden structures like piers and docks and even homes to become cracked and dried out creating a rough texture. Watch out for splinters if you rub the wood with your fingers.

I didn’t see this rabbit at the beach but I’ll finish with the soft texture of the fur of a cottontail rabbit.

  3. Wonderful and beachy response Beth. Yes, there are lots of textures to be found on the beach and yours are beautiful. However, the bunny just begs to be cuddled, but just try to catch it. What a tease!

  9. Lovely images Beth – feels like home to me! We don’t really get the rocks though so I loved those, especially the blue ones! And the textured wood is wonderful. Looks to me like the eye of a large creature!
