Texture

Emphasizing Texture and Using Bracketing
STUDENTS: Your assignment this week is to shoot a series of photos that emphasize texture. Try to get your subject to "pop-out" of the picture, maximizing its texture. To do this use "raking" side lighting and angle of view. If you are close to your subject try using the macro setting (the little flower icon on your camera). Do not use a flash because you want to avoid straight-on lighting. Bracket this assignment--Take a series of photos of the same subject in the same position--the series will only differ in the exposure compensation (-1, 0, +1). Take one photo slightly underexposed, one at the camera's suggested exposure, and one over exposed. Look at the following series taken by Ty Shill as an example. Be sure to label this post "Texture".
