The Colour and Texture of Rust Photo Gallery by Nick Powell at pbase.com

The Colour and Texture of Rust

Bizarre as it seems, I find the colour and texture of rusting objects quite photogenic. No doubt this gallery will also take on a nautical theme!, given the number of rusting boats in the area. Any feedback on how to develop this gallery is welcomed, thanks for looking. Nick

I'm glad there are other people on PBase who find this subject interesting. For example, Barbara Heide has a fantastic collection of photographs at the following link: https://pbase.com/barbara_heide/rust

Beautiful gallery Nick! Yes, rust is fascinating because it makes one think about the story behind the objects. V.

A lust for rust, and to the harbour, I must! The inner turmoil to see, wrought in the heart of the steel by the sea . . . Sorry, I get carried away sometimes by nice pics like these. Rust is one of the themes I like and like to photograph too. Unfortunately, living 600km from the nearest sea, and 1600 m up, there is not a lot of rust, only dust. V

Great collection and well shot, Nick! ~V~

Nick, this is a stunning gallery, and hats off to you for your artistic eye. I especially like the 26Mar2007 image, the cable gives the photo a tension or drama. And in the spirit of providing feedback, cement also rusts! I hope to see more photos in this gallery, truly inspirational.

La Rouille de Leforestier: "Si les fusils s'inventent des guerres Et si les feuilles attendent le printemps, Ne luttons pas, comme eux, contre le temps. Contre la rouille, il n'y a rien à faire." If guns invent wars and if leaves wait for spring, donot fight, like them, against the time. Againt rust no one can win.

a really nice set of pictures, obviously living near the sea helps with the rust
