Looking through the photos that were on my camera, I forgot that I was taking them at the time specifically to act as reference photos for textures (or potentially the raw data I would use for such things) and I kept wondering "why the hell did I take all these unusually boring compositions"
Since I don't think I'll have time to work on that project anytime soon, I do wonder if anyone would be interested in like... my attempts to just get some texture references? Maybe I should just release them. They're not super interesting in and of themselves (with some exceptions here and there) but maybe someone would find them useful. They're of things like rock surfaces, tiny mosses, extreme close ups on leaves with no regard to artistry, etc. As usual, my biggest issue is I'm very shaky so it's hard to get still enough for macro photos taken outside but some did turn out. -
Here's one where I did so some light tweaking and cropping but you can see what I mean. My macro lens is pretty slow and I'm not used to taking photos with it so it's a lot of like, "there's a region of this rock that is in focus decently enough to figure out what's going on, same with this spider web and shell" sort of deal.
FujiFilm X-S10, old ass Canon macros lens, 50mm.

(if you had access to the bracketed shots, you can tell shakiness is a huge problem for me, particularly with a macro lens on an open aperture. Basically, they're either super blurry or the specific focal plane hops around like mad. Not that that's unique to me or anything).
That's one of the more 'dynamic' shots; a lot of it just... rocks and leaves lmao.
