The photos below were taken on a beach in Cornwall a few weeks ago. I was focusing on the texture at the time but I think these go well with this weeks photo challenge theme…

Same fence… different post!
I love the texture that the elements have etched and carved into the wood over the years

Very unique fence. The texture really brightens up the wood 😉

Thanks, yes the texture’s great isn’t it? It gives the wood character! 🙂

Yes indeed. So, we need to start filling our lives with bright colours 😉

If it makes you smile and is a pleasure to look at… it’s got to be good for the soul! 🙂

The color and texture in these is outstanding, and that last one in particular is very well composed with a great use of depth of field.

Love that you took these various shots just to take them, not because of the challenge (though nice that these fit into it). I love to experiment with different focal ranges and effects for the same shot. Mostly it’s because I’m learning, not because I necessarily understand what the result will be each time 🙂

Heh heh yes same here! Hence the name of my blog! So much to learn but so much fun learning along the way! I was pleased with the results here, so glad you liked the photos 🙂
