Welcome to the first Challenge on the new Photo Challenge website!
The theme of the first Challenge is textures. Take a photo which uses textures in some way. A viewer looking at your photo should be able to “feel” the texture of your chosen subject just by looking at it.
As this is the first Challenge here, I don’t know what turnout will be like and I don’t know how long it will take people to get used to the new home, so there is currently no fixed deadline. At some point I will publicise a deadline so we can all see the results. Other than that, the usual rules apply.
Whether you are a previous contributor to Stu’s Tuesday Challenge or a newcomer, you are welcome to try your hand at taking a texture photo and submitting it. Either post a link to your photo using the comments form below, or email it in.
Good luck!
Update: I’ve decided to fix the deadline for this challenge at noon on Tuesday 23rd November. This lands on the traditional Tuesday while also giving you over a week to get settled into the new scheme. The noon deadline gives me time to get the results online in the evening. Happy shooting!

Yay! My single favourite subject for photographs. A great way to start the new challenge, and now I have no excuse whatsoever to contribute to this one.

Well done indeed.

Yay I’m glad someone took this up, because I really don’t have the inspiration without someone challenging me to take a photo, so thank you!
(and thanks for my link too!)

Well I’m glad there have been several positive responses so far
Nobody who has commented on this page now has any excuse for not participating!

I even have an idea for this one, hurrah! It’ll be tricky to shoot though.

Another week, another great idea broken on the wheel of inability. Hey ho.

I included the big one because one of the earlier trial shots I took had a nice moire texture, but that doesn’t seem to have come out so well in this shot. There are still three distinct layers of texture in the picture though, each in a different medium, which pleased me a bit.
