Rusted Shut

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 25 February 2015 in Architecture and Portfolio.

One of the old hinges at Brean down fort, I used this as a print for a recent club competition on pattern or texture, but it didn't get anywhere

Canon EOS 60D 1/100 second F/9.0 ISO 200 43 mm

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

You were robbed! Beautiful colours and textures. Have you tried WD40? :)

The Club has no idea,great colours and textures in this Frame.

@Anthony Morgan Lambert: Thanks Ant. Wasn't the club it was the visiting judge who rejected it, told me he felt it should have been sharp all the way through, but personally I wanted the the dof like this. I have to say though these judges do a very hard job and the final decision is always a subjective one

Robert D. Burr from Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Great colours and a good photo in it's own right but and I certainly can see also using this as a texture.

kiwisa from North Shore, New Zealand

I love the closeup, the colour, the texture and the dof. Should have won something.

25 Feb 2015 7:04pm

@kiwisa: Thanks Frances, it was the dof that lost it for me according to the judge.

franz from Baden, Austria

wonderful hues and textures, doug !

(i apologise for not commenting lately, but after some shoulder surgery i've been quite "useless" recently ... )

25 Feb 2015 7:35pm

@franz: Don't worry Franz, I hope you recover from the surgery soon

Wow ... tough judges! Without the DoF, I don't think the hinge would have stood out as it does.
Just my two cents! ;D
