Took a walk with my girlfriend today, found some old rusted out cars and trucks in the woods.

A rusty rail chair seen on a visit, some time ago, to the Nene Valley Railway.

old and rusted

Jim (active metabolite) suggested I explore this rusted out car ... thanks!

I heard a bit more of the story from a fellow dog walker. Apparently it was a stolen car, dumped about six months ago in the bush. The council moved it to where it is now (still in the bush, but near a track it could be towed away from). About a week later, it was torched. It's still not been taken away. To me, it's become a bit of a feature on this particular walk, and I'd miss it!

I took away the background and the context, so now it has become very abstract...

I'm always curious how today's automobiles will degrade. I'm guessing it won't be with this much integrity.

Rust is famous for his nesting Storks. Nearly every house has his own nest on the roof or chimney.

Took this on my iPhone, No apps used just plain old Camera App and some Aperture treatment!

Playing around with rust shots in Photoshop.

Technique:

Filter > Blur > Radial Blur. (Blur method:spin)

Filter>Distort>wave (type Sine) (Undifined areas: wrap around)

I've always thought this old mill in Elmer called for a treatment like this, so I decided to get all artsy-fartsy with it.

I did a mini workshop on rust printing today. I'm super excited about it! The rust metal actually goes into the fabric. It's not a stain, it's the actual metal in the fabric!
