JHO June Photo Contest, Textures

[Lan-Lord]

Congrats to last month's winner in2blacktail. We has chosen the topic of Textures for June's photo contest.
Any photo(s) that portrays a texture will be legal. This contest might be pretty diverse, but thats okay. Perhaps include a description or indication of the texture that you are trying to represent. A couple of ideas could be: flannel, rust, rubber, sand (sand paper), velcro, leather, mud, anything that has a distinct or an identifiable texture is a good candidate. It might help to zoom in or crop in to fill the frame with your texture candidate. Feel free to give some details about your photo and how you photographed it.


This contest will run until Fri June 30, 2006. At the end of this period we will vote and the winner will be awarded prizes from Jesse.
Please reference the JHO Photo Contest Rules and Procedures (pinned in the photo forum).
Submit all photos into this thread, if you have any questions, you can email me or post a question in a thread.

First one is of manzanita bark. Hopland, CA.


Second and third are of some kind of moss in different stages. I forget the name of it right now. Tehema and Hopland, CA.

Well I thought I would enter a piece of sheetmetal we punched at work today. I thought it had a neat texture and structure to it.

Then tonight I was working on some plumbing in the garage adding a sink and we found a real cool moth that was just outside the garage. It was huge and beautiful. Not sure if the texture is applicable but I had to share it.

great pics Brian. That's one heck of a moth - hide the pets and children!

Thanks.. It definately was related to the old japanesse giant, MOTHRA.

I was expecting RoDAN to swoop down breathing fire in my driveway. The moth was a little bigger than a tennis ball. First time I witnessed a pretty large insect besides a tarantula in the bay area. His pattern onhis wings was very neat, ind looked like an owl in some of the other pics I took.

All bring back the feel of the hunt for me. I used a Olympus c-720 camera
with 8x zoom.

Here are my enteries for the month. Each time I see our fields as my husband is in the process of farming them, I always wonder what they would feel like if they were fabric, or if my hands were as big as God's.

This pic is of one of our fields of orchard grass - we finished harvesting it about 1 week ago.

My second pic of our pivot of triticale and peas. I liked the planting rows that showed up in the cut and uncut grass.
