Texture: Justin Wilhelm

This assignment turned out to be completely different then I had anticipated. Originally I thought that I would shoot something macro in studio. Then I saw this as I was walking around Confluence Park. The sun was going down and cast some wonderful shadows on these columns and bench and the variety of texture was fantastic. Although everything in this scene was made of similar material, the texture varied greatly; from the smooth finish on the bench to the rough feel of the columns.

Texture: Emily Schulte


The wonderful thing about macro photography is that it makes the viewer focus on the texture and shapes that are in the frame, rather than the subject as a whole.  It is the beauty of not knowing what the subject actually is that makes macro photography so unique.  I hardly ever look this closely at anything I photograph, but after doing so I realized that even a dead weed in my backyard can be captivating and even beautiful.

Texture- Carl Farrier


Strings! That is what I was gong for the texture of the strings of a guitar. Also going for a short depth of field and over sharping technic to make the strings of the guitar pop more. Then I converted the image to black and white and put a vignette around the image so your eye goes to the strings. This was fun but hard because I wish I had a bass guitar instead of a electric guitar. What a bummer!!

TEXTURE - DREW LUNDQUIST



IT LIVES!!!
Texture, texture, texture!!! Personally I've shot loads of pictures for 'Texture' related projects and never really thought any of them were overly exciting to look at. This shot however, I had a lot of fun with! I enjoy working in photoshop; creating fantastically imaginative images. This particular shot is a composition of some dry mud found in my backyard and a willing participant, Ryan Norris, to pose for me. I had the image of the character 'The Thing' from Marvels 'Fantastic Four' comic in mind when creating this image.
"It's Clobberin' Time!!!"

Motion; Peter Bolton


This is practice for me with a large format camera. I was trying to roll and shoot the ball at the same time.

Motion Music


I shot this image during Glo 6 on Saturday January 22, 2011 at the Arapaho County Fairgrounds. I shot the image like this to give you the concept of motion that goes with music that flows through the dj. This is DJ Dragon

Motion - Beate Burgess


A sweeping movement, an expansion that advances horizontally and progresses vertically towards an ambiguous horizon. A motion that lends itself to a perceptual variation of gestures and individual creations of our imagination.
