ADAW 16/52: Rewigged and redressed Little Dal Silver Ranger that got the Steampunk treatment for PUDDLE 2019.
This is a late entry for Get Pushed Round 8. I spent much of this past week sick and homebound and feeling uninspired. Yesterday was the first day I was feeling up to trying to meet the challenge.
My partner was Huub Zeeman. Before he sent me my challenge, I looked through his stream and admired the way he uses line and shape is his photographs, especially in his architectural photographs, but line and shape influence everything he does, even his portraits!
So his challenge to me seemed appropriate:
"As far I can see, most of your photos do have a one to one relationship with reality. An apple is an apple, a girl is a girl and so on. That's a great way of taking pictures, nothing wrong, but I think you can make a picture that's beyond of that way of looking.
"I want you to take an abstraction out of a thing you see in reality. Just by altering your point of view or zooming in to the subject! You don't have to think of making an 'abstract", just think abstract while taking the picture!"
Maybe it was because I was sick, but I found this a real challenge!!! At first I was thinking modern and architectural, like some of the photos I admire in his stream, and it took me a while to get past that (not much modern architecture where I live). Then I was looking for interplays of light and shadow, but we haven't had much sun recently (and I've been stuck inside), so that wasn't working.
I finally decided to go with what I know well, which I think is color and depth of field. I tried to get beyond the idea of looking at things as they are and just look for the possibilities of interesting color and interesting bokeh. That seemed to work for me.
This is one of the photos I came up with. I hope it fits, Zuub.
I'm taking Round 9 off from Get Pushed, but my last partner, Lynn Nord, and I just spent a few days picking the winners of the Round 8 Get Pushed Trejack Award. If you are a member of the Get Pushed group (or even if you aren't), please go look at that discussion in the Get Pushed group to see who we picked and why.
I myself a mechanical engineer post graduate ! :) Love these valves as a photographic subject. More so when it is rusted. Some of the first few test shots, directly taken out of my D750, noedit whatsoever and uploaded through wifi utility ;)

This old, rusting tractor sits in an area just off the road along Rt 9 north of Carrollton, Ohio. I've lost track of how many times I have passed this thing this year alone since Rt 9 is one of my favorite riding routes going south. I have no idea how old this tractor is but the emblem says "Oliver" and it has a crank starter.

The "Picture This!" assignment for this week was Ghosts on the Landscape. When I read that assignment a week ago, this was the first thing that came to mind.

This farm implement was last licensed in 1945 but it surely is a clue as to why our US infrastructure, roads and bridges are being destroyed; well, that and the righties. I am using a McIntosh Ag Museum shot to finish a greenish series by adding rust and weeds. This certainly is a fitting title for this image. This machinery is for the ages, the iron ages! This is some kind of weird plowing implement, it must be an older iron implement and possibly horse-drawn but probably not in 1945. I see some rust on it. It had to be iron heavy in order to be able to "bite" into the soil. I ought to go again and figure out the exact function but I am close.
This June found a return to hot temperatures. Wundermaps reported 101 degrees while I was out there. Whew! The direct sun blazed across the scene. I decided that I had missed some shots at McIntosh and went out in the baking sun.
Highway #66 seemed overloaded with early summer travelers to the hills, probably not knowing summer might not arrive until July in the Rockies. They are still dumped a lot of snow into the rivers yet there are plenty of folks willing to jump in a drown.
