I was excited about this image journal. Capturing the details of textures with photography has always been one of my favorite parts of it. Textures are everywhere so I wanted to use this image journal to take many basic items around the house and yard and bring out their textures even more by using lighting, focus, and the correct angles to get the most depth of field. I learned in this image journal that the tiny details built into the texture of all items are extremely important in their beauty. Lighting and depth of field really bring out the most in any and every texture. The image below is my reference image. Getting up close to the subject, strong focus, and great lighting are all very important to create these images.
