Trolley

This shopping trolley has seen better days. Methinks it spent some time in the river.

    Thanks yOrrick, I've also post processed this shot and posted it as well.

    Kev, I reckon it is, although this one has seen some bad times.

    it looks so grotty.... in the B&W it almost looks shiney!
  • David de Groot said:
    It was grotty Alison ;) Although I like the mood of the b&w one better.
  • benefit of hindsight said:
    I must agree with Alison. The grottiness is hidden somewhat by the B&W :-)
  • David de Groot said:
    Probably because I dropped the red channel a bit in the channel mixer when doing the b&w conversion. Rust is somewhat red coloured after all. The dark vignetting would accentuate that somewhat too.

    Very good. I think I like this one better in color.

    Very interesting shot !
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Mark, I'm still not sure about the colour one, I was happy with it when I took it, but now I prefer the b&w.

    Thanks Horst :)

    Another vote for the colour version :-D

    The rust is the real star here, but I also like the B&W - just for different reasons.

    actually i really like the colour version too.

    rust never sleeps.
  • David de Groot said:
    Well yes, the rust was the reason for taking the shot, but it comes out busy. Maybe a closer crop might have improved things... dunno.
  • The Central Scrutiniser said:
    yu could try desaturating the other colour channels, leaving the red, so that the rusty trolley is against a b&w background. also fade the background right away with some blur and dodging.

    here's me, born again (burn again) film purist telling yu how to photoshop ^^
  • David de Groot said:
    Yes I probably could. Might give it a shot tonight :)

    And the irony definitely isn't lost on me ;-)
