Hello friends, good vibes everyone.
When entering the world of photographic composition there are many rules which we have to respect but there are also several tricks that we photographers can apply when taking a photo. Previously I told you about one of the many rules that there are, the rule of thirds, so today I am here to talk a little and show you a trick that we can use for when there are no ideas or when you simply want to "TALK" through the Photography.
There is a lot we can do with our cameras, they are not just to take a photo but to send a message, a feeling or in the case of today a sensation. As with food photography, every time they see a photo of a plate of food they get hungry, the same thing happens here, it is seeing a photograph and being able to feel what they see. Without further, let's go to what we came for.
The texture in a photograph are those elements that we see and that we can be able to know, feel and understand how it feels as if we were touching them. Achieving that requires some practice since we have to put ourselves in the eyes of the viewer and predict how they will feel when they see the capture.
The ideal in these cases is that we take photos of elements that clearly have quite obvious textures and that are very characteristic, for example: smooth, rough, corrugated, sharp surfaces, etc. The essential thing, and I repeat, is that when you look at the photos you are able to "feel" it.
So what is the secret to taking good texture photos? - the main thing and what really matters in this case is the diaphragm. The more open or low it is obviously they will be able to capture much more detail and the photos will be better lit. Now if they use a diaphragm a little more closed or higher, what they will create is that bokeh effect or the depth of field that will make those details focus on a specific point.
The truth is that this type of photography is a bit similar to macro photography so the ideal but at the level that the final result is perfect is to use a tripod, special lenses and even a shutter to touch the camera at least possible. I am not saying that it is the norm or a law but if we want outstanding results it is best to use those elements.
Does the water have texture? - I would say yes because you can feel it. Looking at this photo, are you able to feel the water falling into your hands? Their temperature? - If the answer is affirmative, the photograph then fulfilled its objective, which is none other than to convey a sensation.
As you can see, it is a bit easy to find these types of photos since the textures are everywhere, where they least expect them there are those surfaces. What I can recommend is that you go for a walk to nearby places such as parks or on the same street and start looking at everything looking for those textures that could perfectly end up being photographed. As I have always said, the key in this is patience and knowing how to look.
Today I showed you walls, plants, tree bark, floors and even the water itself; all this without having to search for a specific location. The photographs do not have a specific place, we can get something from everything, the least and until they do it they will not know if it works or not.
The textures is another of the forms or methods within the photographic composition. With it there are no limits since we can take photos of literally everything as long as they have a minimum of "visual touch", because yes, all photographs are obviously visual but these have to be at their best.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!

Well friends for today is everything, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to all, see you in the next one!

Excelente aspecto de la fotografía, que puede logar, como lo muestra tus estupendas fotos, un efecto sensorial combinado (uno físico y otro virtual, al modo de la sinestesia poética). Las "texturas" visuales son un motivo muy atractivo. Gracias y saludos, @javyeslava.photo.
