Before heading to the Calgary Stampede last weekend, I pulled out a few of our staple wardrobe items to get some texture shots.

This is one of my submissions to Clickin Moms for this week.

The rest of these shots were taken during our time at the rodeo. As I was reviewing them in Lightroom, each one either stood out as image that conveyed texture or I played with them a little to achieve a greater feeling of texture.

Here is my other submission.

Not only was I impressed with his moves, but his chaps grabbed my attention (because of the texture!) I also like the way the dirt looks after the tractors have gone by.

A little post-processing play.

And perhaps my favourite shot from the weekend. Kane and his Daddy. I played around with the sky to make the clouds stand out a bit more.
