For my abstract photo course last week we were to take pictures of texture. I like to take pictures of rust on dumpsters. So I have found that dumpsters can have interesting patterns and even colors. These images are close ups of dumpster rust at my local CVS pharmacy. The one on the left is going to be one of the images I choose to enlarge and hang in an exhibition with fellow students at the Common Grounds Coffee House near UNCG. Post processing was minimal but did increase sharpness and contrast so the patterns would stand out more like 3D with PSE 11. Images taken with my iPhone 6S about 10 a.m. This dumpster does not get sun until afternoon so I was able to get better saturation with a.m. timeframe. 
I was up about 8:00 a.m. Thurs. and noticed that there was condensation (no ice) on the windows of the Jack's van. This van faces some large trees in our backyard. I grabbed my camera and decided to shoot the image from the inside of the van. The tree is a very tall black gum tree. I was using my iPhone 6S. It was a little overcast when I started shooting but then the sun starting peeking through at the bottom of the frame. Some raindroplets are blurred and others are sharp. I think the images gives an earie feeling.like what might be lurking beyond. I may use this image for texture or submit as one I missed last week for water. I did not edit except to crop. Posted on Photonuts group and my FB page. It might be one I chose to frame for our last class when we meet up at a coffee shop near UNC-G.
On Sunday we had frost in the morning as temperatures in the low 20s. I saw a photo opportunity of ice on my car windows and trunk. The image on the left is as taken with my iPhone 6S, You can see some "water" and then ice bubbles that with the angle of lighting appeared irridescent. I wanted to apply a filter to show the texture and make more colorful. Again the image on the right will not be able to be submitted for class review. I used the Saturated Film effect about 6 times and pushed the sharpening to a higher level to show more texture in PSE 11. 
The second assignment for the Abstract Photography Course at GTCC is "water". The instructor did not say it had to be plain water. I had some bubble solution remaining from when the grandkids were here. It had a blue tint because Dawn dish soap part of the ingredients. He said we could do liquid, solid or gas. I did the bubble experiment outside. Then decided to flip... so. looks like hanging down and converted to B & W image in PSE 11. My oil water experiments were not successful. I also played with some apps but those images cannot be submitted in class.
