You never know what’s going to make a good photograph so I am forever grabbing shots of totally random stuff. Most of it just gets binned but occasionally I get a good shot.

Bark makes for wonderful ‘texture’ shots, especially when the lighting is right. Different trees give different effects and it’s simply a question of experimenting.

Texture shots can be got from all sorts, it’s just a question of looking around and seeing what’s about.

Sometimes it’s simply a question of seeing an interesting rock or tree trunk. Having a lens with a nice wide aperture and good bokeh helps with this kind of shot.
