This afternoon, I returned to the area I used for the image in this thread -- it's also where my first two no-postwork challenge entries were shot. I took out about 15 to 20 pounds of trash. The area used to be a girl scout camp ... but that does not explain the old, crushed, faded, Budweiser cans. ... Or the four old, broken, white, plastic lawn chairs. Please don't get me wrong ... this was not all that bad, just that a careful cleanup took out lots of nasty in the areas that I will use later for emulsion comparisons. Tedz documented a bigger mess. MGD P.S. ... I learned that looking for trash is quite similar to looking for gremlins before releasing the shutter. You also have to walk out and then backtrack to see it all.
