You Capture - Week Three: *Texture*

Im very creative when it comes to do stuff with other people's photos, but I seriously need more creativity when Im taking my own photos. I hope this challenge from the "I Should be Folding Laundry" blog helps me to look outside of the box. I have been participating in the last minute, but from now on I will try to participate all at the beginning (it starts every Wednesday).

Anyway, we seriously need to cut the grass, and Gaby was just telling me how "weird" it feels to step on the grass. So, why dont I use that as TEXTURE for my challenge?

I kept trying to do something else... Not my kids... I walk around to find something with a texture that I love.... I remembered this little drawer that hubby bought for my girls a couple of months ago... I SERIOUSLY love canvas texture, not sure why.. And to boost, it is PINK!!! So, I got a few shots... What it is funny is that this photo is Without Flash, with some Perspective and a TEXTURE that I love...

Stop by her blog to see what others came up with. Next Week's challenge is SHADOWS.

You Capture - Week Two: *Perspective* -- UPDATED --

As I mentioned in last week's challenge, this week is PERSPECTIVE. As I continue to learn about this, I really hope I did this right... If not, at least I got a photo that I LOVE! The idea was to capture something "differently"... Normally, I would have taken the photo of Gaby directly, but this time, the shot was mostly about the blocks that she had been playing for the last 15 minutes.

UPDATED: I decided to crop in a different angle and to make some selective color on the blocks... I love it more now:

Next week challenge is TEXTURE. We'll see what I come up with.
