I picked these two pictures that i took because i think they show good texture . The picture of the snow was taken in Washington ,This gives me really clam vibes ,the way the snow looks , it just looks so amazing ,i feel like when you see it , it just grabs your attention many ways      I picked this picture i took of my cat because i like the way the photo is just focus on her and the background is blurred , the way her whiskers pop out although they are very light , the way her eyes look , also the patterns on her skin look .

In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Use of texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of messages and emotions.

You will need to understand f-stops, ISOs, exposure, focus modes, white balance, light, composition, focal length and how different lenses affect your images, posing for portraits, and many more things.  1.The shutter priority mode works just like aperture priority, in the sense that it gives you complete control over shutter speed while making all the other settings automatically, according to the selected value. This is a great setting for situations where you don’t want the shutter speed to go over or under a specific value.                           2. The exposure it is a +/- scale that will tell your camera to increase or decrease exposure, depending on your needs. It works for all semi-automatic modes (P, Av, TV) and will influence exposure in increments.                                                                                                     3.Motion blur often comes from using a shutter speed that is too slow for holding the camera in your hands. Every photographer has a maximum low speed they can use. For some it’s 1/60th, but others can shoot hand held at 1/8th. It’s a question of practice. Learn what the lowest speed is for you and stick to it for motion free images.                                     4. Camera flash , If you’re not careful, using your camera’s built-in flash at night or in low light can lead to some unpleasant effects like red eyes and harsh shadows. If you find yourself in this situation and don’t want to miss the shot, there are a couple of things you can do. First of all, find the flash settings in your camera’s menu and reduce brightness as much as you can. Second, you can try diffusing the light from the flash by putting something over it. Securing a piece of paper or opaque scotch tape over the flash, for instance, can help diffuse the light and soften it.                                                                             5.The rule of thirds is based on the idea that pictures are generally more interesting and well balanced when they aren’t centered. Imagine a grid placed over your images with two vertical lines and two horizontal lines that divide the picture into nine equal section.             6.The histogram shows you a mathematical review of exposure after the photo has been taken. It tells you how evenly exposed a photo is.LCD screens aren’t very good at showing you this information through their display of the image.                                                             7.Depth of field , When you’re shooting in low light, you have to widen your aperture to allow enough light into the lens. But this has a major side effect.You can use this in a creative way.                                                                                                                                           8.The white balance changes the color cast of the entire photo. It is responsible for the overall warmth. It can determine whether your photo appears blue or orange, cold or warm. Auto white balance doesn’t often do a good job. Especially with tungsten light. The sooner you learn about this basic photography idea, the more accurate your photos will look.                                                                                                                                                         9.The basic premise is that you divide your camera’s frame into thirds. By planting key objects on these lines, the composition of the image works better.This is a tool that always works. But it is easy to overuse it. If you’ve not learned much about photography yet, it’s a great way of improving your photos.                                                                                                10.Triangles make great compositional tools. They’re easy to make and manipulate and are quite common. These are a great way to use the simplest and most basic photography compositions.They are also perfect for combining different compositional techniques. These include lines and paths to create a more interesting part of a photograph                     11.Eye-lines are the direction your subject’s eyes are pointed in. The negative space in front of the subject’s face is known as lead room.                                                                           12.Polarizing filters only allow light into the lens from a certain direction. This results in the removal of glare and reflections from non-metallic objects.                                                   13.Exposure happens in three steps. We will start with the aperture. This is the hole inside the lens, through which the light passes.As the aperture widens, the f/number gets lower and more light is allowed into the camera. This is great for low light. But be aware that it’s going to make the depth of field very shallow. So , The aperture is the preferred setting to set first, as it directly influences how much of your scene is in focus. But, if you are looking to create motion blur, then it is second to the shutter speed.
