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.
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.
This is what the guillotine looked like after I vaccumed and dusted it but before I pulled out the mineral spirits to give it a good cleaning.
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.
