Shapes and Textures

I chose a different photographic subject today - shapes and textures. The photographs show shapes and textures of materials photographed in a museum in Bear River, Nova Scotia.
The first image shows part of a quilt that was hung in the museum. The second shows a dress with beads and sequins.

The photos were taken inside without a flash or tripod. I set the ISO at 1600 and used the P (Program) settings. The camera chose f4 at 1/30 sec. When taking photographs at low shutter speeds without a tripod you have to hold the camera very still or your photographs will be blurry.
I like taking photographs of materials because of the colours, shapes and textures. I have been taking photos like this for many years and have a large collection.
