sunday stills; textures
This weeks challenge as the title suggests was textures. I was hoping to have my macro lens by today but unfortunately it wasn’t here in time; it should arrive from Sydney tomorrow (yay).
This is my “feature wall” in my bedroom; sandstone paint, it’s very rough to touch.

sunday stills textures challenge;
Tomorrow I have to get a blood test to check my iron, vitamin d12 & b, thyroid, protein & folate levels. Eh; I have a phobia of needles, so it’s not something I’m looking forward to but it’s necessary.
P.S thank-you to Daniel who introduced me to McDonalds “quarter pounders” – omg YUM! <3

Very impressive Chloe! I have to hone my photography skills. Hope you’ll get your macro lens soon. And enjoy it!

Nice textures. I love that second photo, with the DOF and the warm tone(s) of it.

Great texture shots. I need to have a little more imagination in my photography (I’m pretty new to this).

I loved them all Chloe – I think that strangely my favorite was the bread, just because I so wasn’t expecting that in a row of texture stills. Of course it IS a texture, very much so, it’s just that I would think of the rest of the things you put up as the more obvious choices. So the bread suddenly hit me, and I really liked it.

Bread, shoes, wall, so many things I didn’t even consider :/ I like how you lit the wall up, very resourceful to bring out the roughness. Shame you didn’t have your macro lens, these shots are begging for it.
lol @ McDonalds, love it! I bet my heart hates me for stuffing my face with a big mac every now and then. Oh well, we only live once, let’s not deny ourselves the pleasure of such cholesterol-inducing devilshness!
A student did my blood test once, she couldn’t find the vein and jabbed me 7 times before finding it :( not trying to scare you, just letting you know it can always be worse :D just don’t look…

Love those shoes! My favorite shot is the bread, though, it is so detailed in texture I can almost smell it, and certainly would like to eat a piece!

Looks like to me that you don’t need a macro lens…beautifully done…all of them. But, I do have to say that the bread is exceptional…something I’d have never thought of. Well done!

I think I could have a little olive oil and pesto with that bread. Awesome.
Have a great week.
