Description

Continuing with my obsession with all things rusty, this is a close up of the fastenings on a railway track near home.

This is wonderful! With a quick glance I thought they were hats hanging on pegs....then...."oh wow!". Finder is right.....this is something the begs to be mounted and displayed.

There's a lot more color going on with old rusty things than first meets the eye.

well I've always been a bit obsessed with rust too, & I love these close up, texture almost abstract things (I'm not very technical!) so this one does it for me.

Get that thing in a gallery! I've been just starting to learn about choosing matting colors and widths lately... It seems that matting and framing is a whole art in itself. Same photograph, different matting; and it looks like a whole different picture!

Thanks everyone! I hope all my friends at Renderosity have a safe and Happy New Year! (and don't go off the rails TOO much, just enough to have FUN!!) ;-)>

I see that more of the members are obsessed with rusty metal surfaces. Me too. This one is a real beauty. Its funny, I want to tuch it, its a feeling in my hand, kind of longing. Wish you a Happy New Year too.

Now, this picture is from a digital camera, is it not so..? Either way and IMHO, the colored grains that form the picture distract me a bit as they interfere with the original colors of the rust. But, if the question is the composition, I have nothing more to say than that this is a great abstraction. How about a b/w version..? Very nice detail anyway... :)

You're right dorkusal, sorry 'bout that...it was taken in dim light (and the battery was low, so I didn't dare turn on the flash!) so I had to play with the levels and unsharp it a bit...which tends to add that distracting grain...personally I like the gritty feel...! :-)>
