Exploring Texture 2

The authors of the text warn against shooting patterns, but isn't that exactly what texture is?   Everything has texture, but our experience is relative to size. A piece of glass feels smooth, for example, but under intense magnification is sharp and uneven. The authors of the text note that shooting texture requires getting in close. But how close?

Here are some examples from a recent outing. The image of the leaf is of interest because though it appears to be ribbed, it is in fact quite smooth to the touch.
