Ab-Ca by richie fox

The picture below is a stolen, burnt out car. / This is showing the rear right side. / You can see what has been produced by the fire / Armley Woods, Leeds. / sunday 31.5.09 / 7.15am / For all these phenomina to appear on the car, the car has been left on fire, and eventually, there is nothing left on the car to burn, so it just dies out. the paint work on the car , bubbles up and seperates itself from the metal at very hot temperatures. / Once it is all cool down, it is very delicate. / You just blow the flakey paint lightly, and this abstract art lies beneath. / If the car had been put out by water, im pretty sure that no abstracts would have appeared.
Peacock Notes by Bunny Clarke

As the Peacock passed me by, I just kept shooting. This is the area just below the neck, but above the wings. He’d pause, strut, pause, strut while I was shooting. I hope you enjoy this as much as “Peacock Personal” and Peacock Decoded”. Irvine Regional Park, Villa Park, CA
Cove Texture I by Kevin Bergen

The rock textures and colors are incredible in Smuggler’s Cove (Palos Verdes, California). The rocks around the point where all the tide pools are offer an array of visual delights!
Cove Texture II by Kevin Bergen

More rock textures from Smuggler’s Cove in Palos Verdes, California. Those little rocks strewn around the cracks are actually small sea snails about the size of a pea!
Plastic or metal? by Lyndy

This is a plastic chair made to look like metal, basking in the sunshine. Pretty impressive I thought. Please view large

Velantia by Julie Marks

This bark art was photographed with a macro lens. To appreciate the imagery, please view this in the large format. The Velantians inhabit the third planet of the star Velantia. Their planet, also called Velantia is earthlike in all major respects. Velantians are telepathic, and can project their thoughts even to non telepathic races over enormous distances. Their brilliant and complex minds, their ability fo withstand high gravitational stresses and accelerations and their advanced scientific knowledge make them well suited to interstellar exploration and contact. This fascinating race has been studied by Dr. E.E. “Doc” Smith who refers to these extraordinary creatures as “Children of the Lens” due to their powers of exceptional telepathy. Early in their development, the Velantians were enslaved by Delgonians, the second planet in their system. The Delgonians, also telepathic, fed on the life force of Velantians. In an age-long struggle to break free of the Delgon Overlords, the Velantians develped their physical and mental sciences in secret, until they finally discovered an effective mind shield. When Delgon control was broken by the shield, the Velantians built interplanetary ships and fought a savage war and in the end they destroyed the brutal Delegonians. Dr. Smith has reported communicating telepathically with this species to develop earthling’s capacity to construct a strong mind shield to ward off nuclear wars given the proliferation of weapons of destruction that could potentially wipe out our civilization in the same manner that Velantians utterly destroyed their terrorist alien enemies.

Heat Wave by Marguerite Foxon

Extreme macro of blistered and peeling paint on cab of derelict truck. Nikon D90 handheld, Nikon 60m macro, 1.400s, F/10, ISO640. I find the detail in this shot fascinating – you just cannot see this with the naked eye, no matter how carefully you look at the surface with the finely flaked paint.

About This Group

The focus of this group is on photos that shows textures and structures of natural materials.

It may be the grain of wood, the surface of stones, crystals of snow and ice, the colour and details of fabric and more.

The idea is to see natural textures, colours and details of materials. Often this means the image is rather “flat” compared to full shots of objects.

Main rules are: 80% of the image must show the texture, no paintings, no people, animals or water photos, no simple macro shots, no manipulated images, and no digital art.

We will change the groups Avatar regularly and the owner of the chosen image will be a featured member of the group.
