Great tips! Shooting textures makes you look at things in detail. You start to experience the world different and it really becomes a great feeling!

Some great advice here! I think the most important thing you mentioned is to avoid direct light (on-camera flashes specifically) which only serve to flatten any details of the texture you’re shooting.

Also, thanks for the link to Lost and Taken! I’m glad I can offer a little texture inspiration to everyone ;)
