My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!

Great capture Tara

Very well taken !

Terrific close up. I like the irony of having cotter pins so the rusted pieces won't fall apart.

I like the colours and textures and the soft light!

Trapped! That's what this image says to me at one level. Rust is art! I belong to a group called that on Flickr, and this fits perfectly.

Your eye for objects amazes me. Most of these I would not see. But they look amazing within a framed shot!

Superb capture Tara. God bless.

OH! What a beautiful shot with all the rusty stuff .-))) I have now downloaded Andreas waterlily with her permission. Now we will see if I dare painting it. :)

An instant classic rust shot with superb DOF - this is outstanding...

Excellent subject.

Lol, Andrea says "trapped!" And Claude says "an instant classic"! I know Andrea still appreciates the fine-ness of this, and for sure Claude does. I don't feel trapped, I'm just endlessly intrigued by the secret worlds contained within it. Another must-zoom, because all the detail and sharp/fade contrasts come out so much more in full view. I assume you'd call this a macro? Close to it? Well, it has sweep. And the deep chasms of shadow really punctuate this collection of bold beams and thick nuts and bolts and thick screws. Machine parts for the big guys. And fine "tonal" qualities---the lighter rust browns next to those deep red-browns (on the gear and its chassis)...with blue-ish bars on each side. You know how to zero in on something to reveal a whole city going on in there. A really fine portrait, and definitely one of your fortes. An instant classic, yes.

Your eye for composition and bringing out the unseen (by most of us) beauty of utilitarian objects is unmatched, Tara! The handle on this mechanism may be missing, but you certainly have a handle on wonderful captures!

Makes me want to know what it was for, does it still work, who worked it, and so on and so on. I like to imagine the history of everyone that used it.

What's not to love about gears and ratchets and esoteric machinery, all toasted lightly rusty with disuse? Wonderful capture!!!

Exceptionally detailed shot Tara! Rust galore! Rob
