Title: Weathered Metal
Post by: RobMacKillop on December 01, 2017, 09:48:06 am

This is part of a landscape art installation in metal. The older it gets, the more beautiful it looks.

Fuji XT20, XC 16-55mm. Developed in Iridient developer, with watermark added in LR. I used a lot of negative EV for the darkness, with the sun illuminating just this part of the object. I'd like to try it again with a better lens, but this one did a not bad job.

Lovely. Beautiful form, and I like the texture and colour (the 'patina', I guess some would call it). It's not at all apparent what a different lens might bring to the picture.

I guess so. Thanks for your comments. Yes, patina is the word I would use too. Cheers.

I agree with JNB. This is quite beautiful and elegant.

I like it's simplicity.  Sometimes we try to do too much with our images.

Love the glow of Rembrandt.

Yes, Alskoj, simplicity is helpful sometimes. Thanks for your comment.

John, you said the magic name: Rembrandt, my favourite artist. A master of light, for sure.
