Fifty-Two on Friday | Valleyview Alberta Photographer

The theme for week 7 is “Texture.”  The choices of subjects were endless…  you could pick just about anything to shoot.  Everything has a different texture…  food, everyday objects, things in nature…  the list goes on.

I was going to take a photo outdoors – maybe of some bark, tree needles…  whatever caught my eye.  That was my first instinct.  I decided I needed to think outside of the box and shoot something a little bit different than I normally would.

This week, I photographed the artwork of my resident artist.  It’s bright, colourful, and with my macro lens, you can see every little bit of texture in the paint.  I photograph this sort of artwork all of the time, but hadn’t ever photographed it using a macro lens.  It gave me an entirely new and beautiful perspective of her art.  And, it’s colourful too…  bright and cheerful just like her 🙂

Next up in our group is Christine Blaylock, an Illinois Photographer.  Visit her site and see her interpretation of this week’s theme!
