What? Feel texture in a photograph? I can SEE the texture, and it looks so DIMENSIONAL�but how can I make the viewer actually FEEL it?
So that�s the challenge in this next assignment. You now have proven you can compose like a pro � so what about the other areas you need to really think about in taking the leap from snap shot to art? Here goes:
1. Capture 5 images that show texture � make them DIFFERENT � not 5 in the same location.
2. Make sure you are shooting on the manual mode (M) on your camera metering dial. If you can�t get the settings right, what should you do (hint�it involves your MANUAL � the instruction book�).
3. Make a folder on the computer desktop and upload your images. Label the folder �Texture 101�.
4. Edit your images in Photoshop � this is the time to play around with the image adjustments drop down menu: levels, curves, color balance, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast. See what each of them actually does. Remember to use Command J before you edit and save!
5. Save each image as a jpeg and rename them so you know what they are.
6. Post your two BEST captures on your blog and make sure you include your technical information (ISO, f-stop and shutter speed, camera mode). This post is to be called Texture 101.
7. Along with your images, find a capture that you think shows incredible texture and under your images post this. Explain why you selected this image, what makes it texture-perfect and who the photographer is.
