This old grain elevator sits near the intersection of IL. routes 34 and 40 between Buda and Manlius,IL.I remember driving by this all my life,my dad bought some feed from this place probably 30 years ago.Things were much simpler then which can be witnessed by its modern counterpart,built just a short distance away along the highway.This has so much more character though!
During my drive through some back roads of Iowa, I came across a collection of rusted farm equipment.
It was interesting to walk among them.
Taken with a Canon 60mm USM Macro lens. Type L for a better view.

A rusting Armstrong Holland Bulldozer shot on a friends family farm in Oberon NSW in November 2014. Not far from my earlier rusty truck image.
Left over from a set of hay mow pulleys I photographed several years ago. I took another shot at it because I love the casting detail as well as the rusty texture. This is another 50mm prime lens exercise. It provides a great quality shot. The EF Myers Company was known for its efficient water pumps but they also manufactured other products for agriculture. www.farmcollector.com/equipment/history-f-e-myers-and-bro/
I have found my personal rust paradise, only about 45 min from me. acres of old cars and trucks untouched for decades. It was a scrap yard years ago, but even the wrecks are awesome. I was overwhelmed walking the place, it would take a solid month just to see it all. much less Photograph. so...anytime I want to shoot old cars. I got that covered.
LENS: Minox 35mm Minotar f/2.8 (little old lens stripped from Minox film camera). Custom-built adapter to mount this lens on micro 4/3 digital cameras made by DAG.
CAMERA: Olympus E-PM2.
A farm dump provides some interesting effects! A rusted something-or-other retains patches of bluish paint and is overlain by criss-cross shadows from an abandoned piece of mesh fencing.

This truck reminded me of "Mater" from Cars for some reason. The other pics I took weren't that great b/c it was on a trailer.
Rosanky Swap Meet, Rountop, TX
Last weekend, Ken & I bought a beautiful little metal gazebo- rusted and perfect for SO many of my tiny spots here- it's not big at all - 6 ft. wide. But here it sits, still on the truck! Not as easy as I thought, with only two of us to manage getting it off there! The leg columns are lying down in the bottom of the truck bed. :)
This is not "new" new, but new to me! I hope that counts! :)

Deeply though I love it, I've never known such a place as South Wales for littering, fly tipping and general dumping, often in the midst of lovely scenery. I could take you to a mile-long, dead-end road leading out into open moorland that is lined from end to end with discarded household impedimenta of every conceivable description. Perhaps our regular motoring correspondents can have a stab at identifying the make, model and likely vintage of this car. The almost complete lack of any paintwork suggests that it was torched as well.
Viewing large on black shows all the grungy details. ;)
This is an old Plymouth that sits in a driveway in my neighborhood. I love the colors of the rust against the fading body paint. Throw a little chrome in there and it's photographic eye candy. ;)

PROCESSING NOTES:
for each individual image I ...
- duplicated the Background Layer, changed to LAB Mode, ran a high-pass filter, changed back to RGB Mode, and switched the blend mode of that layer to Soft Light
- duplicated the new layer to double the effect
- made another duplicate of the Background Layer, dragged it to the top, ran high-pass filter, changed blend mode of that layer to Soft Light (to bring out details even more)
- made a stamp of all layers, added a b&w adjustment layer, manually adjusted it for a high-contrast look, switched that stamped layer to Soft Light blend mode, then tweaked the b&w adjustment layer until I achieved the desired look
- added a texture layer to the top and changed it's blend mode to Soft Light
After putting them all into the collage then individual adjustments were made (curves, hue, levels, masks where needed, etc.) to get them all to flow well.
