Week 4: Texture | Shining through

While wracking my brain on what might constitute texture in lighting, I happened to glance over toward my bedroom window and noticed the wide variance of textures that were illuminated by the bright rays of the afternoon sun. The mostly transparent sheer curtain panel created a gentle softening of the sunlight and also added a sense of dimension between the window and the curtain itself. The denser blue curtains succeeded in blocking out most of the light, however the sunlight that succeeded to bleed through highlighted the fabric's rough uneven texture. It also became interesting to notice how the light varied on the different flowers of the orchid. Some flowers seemed to block out the sunlight entirely, while others became brightened and illuminated.
