Went to our little historical museum today and saw this interesting old cement mixer. Love the old rust and gears.

This will be a real challenge for me. As my 30 day photography challenge I have chosen to shoot with "The Golden Mean" or "Golden Rectangle" (closely related to the rule of thirds) as my theme. It is composition I will be focusing on rather than a specific subject. Knowing this is my weakest area of my photography should really force me to learn. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1013&message=29939768
Old and rusty objects are one of my favorite themes! This one is great!
ReplyDeleteThe light is fantastic and the compostition too!
Congrats!
I haven't seen a cement mixer this close up before, looks so interesting with all the parts and gears and rust! How old is this thing?
ReplyDeleteOh very nice rusty pic and so well balanced
ReplyDeleteLove the flashes of blue behind it, and the golden spiral is very obvious in your composition. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI just hate the "rusty / abandoned stuff shots" but this one makes a big difference. Guess it's the overall positive atmosphere -- it's less a depressive "old and rusty" picture than a "old and rusty but still at work" message, including a beautifully tinted sky.
ReplyDeleteI think the flashes of blue really add to this shot. They really complement the different shades and textures of browns.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you find something to fit your theme everyday! I would've run out a long time ago! Great job!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI love taking pictures of rusty things. The textures, the contrast, the history - you captured this well.
ReplyDeleteGM's are everywhere, one just has to open their eyes and look. Thanks for making ME look!
ReplyDeleteA great find and I love the textures here too.
I agree with Isabella. Looking for the curve in your pictures has made me notice it in the real world too! I hope it gives me a better eye.
ReplyDeleteNice texture and complementary colors. Great fit with the golden mean too.
