Transcript Texture - Centralia High School

Shooting Assignment One
• You will shoot three examples of each of the
following:
– Line
– Shape
– Value or Light
– Texture
– Your choice
Next steps
• You will upload these photos to a school
computer or a flash drive so you can use
Adobe Photoshop and edit them.
• Make sure you are suing your own log in and
saving on the “H” drive when using the school
computers.
• Following this slide are some examples of
photos taken to highlight the elements I
am asking you to take photos of this
week.
Texture
Can you imagine what
each of these would
feel like if you rubbed
your fingers across
them?
More examples of texture in a photo
Shape
• A silhouette of a
hillside (by Tori
Dotson) makes a
strong shape
The light and dark sides of these steps play
up their boxy shapes. Note how they also
repeat to make a pattern bringing the eye
from the top left side of the frame to the
bottom right.
Several Leading
Lines
The lines in the front decking
bring your eye back to the
far dock and then into the
city in the background. You
are following lines with your
eyes.
A single curved line
Lines converging in a single point
The only way
to get a shot
like this is to
move your
position.
Those
buildings are
not moving for
you!

Light or value
This photo
taken by CAPS
student Matt
Christenson,
shows value
and texture in
this close up.
Notice how the contrast between the
dark and light and the strong shadows
makes this photo more interesting.

Notice how the change of lighting
completely changes the mood of this
photo…

The lighting in this photo is
what makes the moss
stand out and the whole
forest seem unique.
Can you see how the crosswalk lines,
leading into the line of cabs, in turn lead
your eye down the street?
Texture again…
But you see the
texture because of
the back lighting….
• Ok, go out and start taking some
photos of your own!
