I'm new to DPS and new to using texture layers in photoshop. Here's one of my first attempts. Taken in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood, it's a spaceship on a local restaurant called "Rocket to Venus."

This is my first forum post and assignment entry.

This image was not post-processed in any way - not even cropped! It is a picture of a landscape reflected in water where there were several intersecting ripple patterns from two nearby fisherwomen, one who had just casted and one who had just caught a small bass. I love the kaleidoscopic and 3-dimensional effect and think it really created a textured look to the water.

Camera: Pentax Optio MX4
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: f4.6
Flash: Not Used

This building is right outside my office.
I rode by it last week and then remembered the assignment.
So, I found texture. More then enough.
Here's more pictures of the building, but this one is the nicest for this assignment.

I forgot the exif info:

That kind of shot is fascinating, isn't it? I got a very similar image just over a fortnight ago:



Was your shot from a pond or lake with a gentle breeze? Mine wasn't ripples from something thrown into the water but just natural surface turbulence. I see you also had a similar shutter speed (1/60s / 1/50s), which is probably a good starting point for anyone else wanting to try it.
