Tall metal girder support part of a bridge. The peeling paint and rust bleeding through is quite pretty.

I was really drawn to the coloration & cracking here. Sometimes the simplest things are interesting in their own way.
Winner of Rust Challenge
Was going thru some old photos, and decided to work on this one a bit. Taken with my Nikon CoolPix 990 back in 2000
iP6s with Camera+ 2 set to macro. Touched with Snapseed.
So, rust is cancer to all metal. If you catch it in time, you can remove the small bits of rust, cancer, and treat the metal, eradicating the cancerous rust, leaving the steel strong as was intended. Ignore it and it will destroy even the strongest metal. This is a piece of 1/8” steel I removed from a large section of 1/2” plate. This was the underside of the plate. I saw it and knew immediately what the problem was. You can cover it up and make it look pretty, but the cancer is still there eating up the steel. As I informed my customer, that piece and others like it, cannot be recovered. It’s beyond hope and will need to be replaced with new steel.

At the foot of the parking lot behind my husband's office is a very large steel shed. I've admired the contrast between the fresh young saplings that sprout up along the perimeter and the aging structure. Today the scene was more harmonious as the saplings themselves are turning to rust.
To lend a painterly feel to the scene I flattened the image, added a rust texture layer using luminosity as my blending mode, brought back some structure with a faint line drawing, added a border and finally brought back a bit of contrast. I certainly could have gone the grungy route, but I think a softer touch is more suitable here.
Went out shooting with fellow flickr member jssteak . It was a overcast and cold day, but it provided great atmosphere for my pictures.
John has a unique take on photography. Watching his approach in person allows me to learn new methodologies beyond how I look at a particular subject/scene.
For instance with this photo. Instead of framing it with the traditional 5x7 landscape ratio, I opted for a more square frame. John had said that sometimes if you are framing your subject in the middle with a wide landscape frame, the negative/empty space on the side of the subject can take the viewer's eye away from the middle. Cropping with a square frame instead puts all of the focus on your subject. This picture was a perfect candidate for this type of crop.
Ik hou enorm van het stadsleven. Er is altijd beweging, altijd iets te doen. Heerlijk!
Toch kan ik ook genieten van rust. Meer zelfs: ik heb het regelmatig echt nodig. Daar moet je tijd voor maken, maar soms niet eens zoveel als je denkt.
Deze foto nam ik tussen Deurne en Mortsel. Niet eens zo...
We can measure, we can test it,
We can halt it or arrest it.
We can gather it and weigh it,
We can coat it, we can spray it.
We examine and dissect it,
We cathodically protect it
We can pick it up and drop it.
But heaven knows we'll never stop it!
So here's to rust, no doubt about it,
Most of us would starve without it.
Stopped off at a historical site called Britannia Mines on the way back to Vancouver from Whistler Mountain. The weather cooperated and the late afternoon sunshine brought out the redness in the various rusted machinery on the site. My only regret was I had my Panasonic FZ1000 with me instead of my Canon 5D MK II kit.
