Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Textures

This week’s topic is Textures. Textures to me means something that I would want to touch, whether it be rough, soft, smooth, or a combination. So have fun with this topic and I look forward to seeing what all you bloggers come up with. Use your imagination and creativity with this topic. I hope you have a lot of fun with the topic.

For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list at below. Be creative and challenge yourself. Look for contrast or highly textured subjects to shoot.

Thank you everyone for your overwhelming enthusiasm for the challenge last week. I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers from the Roadscapes challenge. Please check out their posts, they are worthy of a second look. ENJOY!

Featured Bloggers

Shangri-La – The composition of this roadway and bridge is spot on.

My Photos, My Words, My Life – Don’t you just want to drive this road and see where it takes you.

Elizabeth Krall Photos – Such a marvelous gallery of roadscapes from around the world to be enjoyed.

Unexpected in Common Hours – This snowy roadscape scene is beautiful with just the set of footsteps.

Pondertheirrelevant – I am curious as to where this road ends, a nice camp site perhaps or an abandoned mine to investigate.

PhoTrablogger – Gravel roads are always fun for me to explore. It seems to bring me back to simpler times.

Upcoming Topics

Texture
Table and Chairs, seating of any kind
Construction
Things Found in a Kitchen
Wheels
Things Made Out of Plastic

This challenge accepts the following types of photography:

Black and white photography
Sepia tones (browns)
Selective color with the majority of the photo being in black and white.

Hopefully you will have a lot of fun with this challenge and find your creative eye will be expanded. Here are a couple tips and tricks posts I have done specifically for black and white photography.

ENJOY and have FUN.
