"Textures and Patterns" - September/October Meetup Challenge

Hi, there, photo friends! Time for a new Challenge!
*** TEXTURES & PATTERNS ***

Here are the details:

Challenge: TEXTURES & PATTERNS
Date: September 15 - October 31, 2023

In texture photography, it’s all about patterns, colors and depth, and every single detail of a texture plays a significant role in the overall perception of the photograph. The combination of these intricate details, interesting patterns, vibrant colors and a good depth all contribute to a beautiful texture.
Think about strong graphic elements that repeat themselves, for example lines, geometric shapes, forms and colors. Look around and you will start noticing patterns in many places, repetition in shapes and objects, buildings, fences, patterns are everywhere!
Show us your creativity, inspire us and let's see what you can do.

Image MUST be captured between September 15th and October 31st.

This challenge closes at midnight on October 31. Your image must be taken during the challenge period. We check the metadata! 😊

Let’s see how creative you can get. Grab your camera or phone, get those creative juices flowing and express yourself. Good luck!
