Textures? Maybe?




The next photo challenge for us is "textures". I still don't have a macro lens, so here a some pictures I took this morning with my mediocre kit lens. I should have a macro lens, hopefully, by this afternoon. So, here is the first batch of my textures. Since I am already loving this week's challenge, you can bet that there will be many more pictures that follow!!!! Oh, and I am submitting the picture I posted last night of the water drops on the web. I had to crop it to a blurry mess (although, I haven't had to adjust the saturation or brightness/contrast in weeks!! WOOHOO!), but I do like how it turned out.

For us mere mortals who have NO lenses - let me repeat that NONE, ZILCH, ZERO - I mean..how can we ever be expected to fulfill this challenge *snort*.

Love these textured shots...the web looks way cool cropped like that. I can see the fur on the leaves as well as the droplets. Nice!

I'm still in the crop like crazy mode. Your photos look like they could be macro. Did you get the lens yet?

When you can take pictures like these with a normal lens, I can't wait to see what you can do with a macro lens :)

You've put me to shame with these pictures!! I have NO lens....but a new camera is on my wish list (maybe sometime next year!). Gotta make do with what we've got and you've pushed that to an extreme. Your pictures are absolutely outstanding! A lot can be learned from you....sure wish we could hang out together for a bit!!
