Free Texture Friday – Gritty Wood 2
About a year ago I posted a set of really cool grungy and gritty wood textures titled Gritty Wood. I was browsing through some of my older texture shoots in Lightroom when I happened to see these and noticed that I only posted one set from this series. I must have forgotten about them or…

Macro Photography
Before getting involved with the little big world of Macro Photography, it’s important that you get a full understanding of light and composition. The road for doing Macro Photography hasn’t changed much, and it all reduces to the subject, the magnification and the rigid lighting set-ups. It is also true that when working with macro…

Free Texture Friday – Grunge Cracked Concrete
You can never get enough cracked concrete textures, and today I’m sharing a huge set of 7 really detailed grunge concrete textures with cracks, dirt and strikes of rust.

Free Texture Friday – Corroded Metal Fence
In today’s post I’m sharing a set of Corroded Metal Textures. Corrosion, or rust will definitely add another dimension and a worn & distressed effect to your designs. Corrosion is a natural process, the gradual deterioration of metals by chemical and electrochemical reaction with their environment. The most common form of corrosion is rusting, which…

The feeling that a Landscape wasn’t just waiting for a photographer to capture it, is the main reason why some landscape shots are mind blowing and hypnotic, in contrast to some that look more like mere snapshots. Landscape photography is one of the most difficult disciplines to master; therefore the reward and the fulfillment are…

Today I’m continuing the “Rotten Wood” texture series by posting a new set of old Rotting Frames with rusty & vintage metal edges. These textures are from the same spot as “Rotten Wood Vol 4“, a local shipyard where a few wooden boats have been rotting away for years. This rotting wood surface has been…

Free Texture Friday – B&W Corrugated Iron
I’ve always been a sucker for old and rusted metal fences and to find one that isn’t freshly painted around the area where live is getting harder than ever. This Corrugated Iron Fence has everything you can ask for, grunge rusted patches, old cracked paint and a gloomy textured surface. In post-processing I made it…

Free Texture Friday – Green Seaweed
Hey guys, today I have a real treat for you. In one of my recent texture walks down by the cost (see Free Texture Friday – Golden Rocks), there were these puddles on some of the rocks that had a lot of seaweed textures or algea in them. As an experiment I tried to photograph…

Free Texture Friday – Yellow Rusted Metal
Today I have a brand new set of yellow rusted metal textures from the cover of an old electrical cabinet which I walked upon in the local shipyard. The bright yellow color of it caught my eye so I decided to check it out. I guess it’s from an old motor, generator or a crane.…

Free Texture Friday – Golden Rocks
In today’s set I’m sharing 5 golden rocks textures that I shot down by the coast where we have huge volcanic rocks going out from the shore out into the sea. These are often soft rocks that have cracked over time and some have holes which are created by some species of sea shells. There…

Free Texture Friday – Grunge Black Wall
Hey guys, I have created this really awesome set of grunge black wall textures for you this week. Not so long ago I stumbled upon this old black wall, ruins from an old local fish processing factory that partly burned down in 1983. It’s remains were recently torn down and removed, exposing the black worn…
