Rust and Gray Paint

Rust and Gray Paint

This is a section of rusty metal on the WWI shore batteries. I thought it was an interesting pattern. I took this with my first digital camera, an Olympus E-10 back in 2002. I’m pretty impressed that the quality is as good as it is. If you increase the zoom to 300% it falls apart and just isn’t usable. But at this size, it looks pretty good. This was taken at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, while I was visiting for the day. I was living in Olympia at the time … it was another 15 years or so before I moved here. Another reminder why I like it this much here.

Studies in Shapes and Textures 1

I give myself shooting assignments sometimes to keep practicing different photographic vision or skills. This day I was looking for shapes and textures … since I was shooting black and white film (with a Nikon F100), shapes and textures increase the likelihood that there will be some interesting part to the image.

I was happy with both of these.
