Downturn

James, My convalescent ramblings have certainly led me into strange areas of town...you would be wise to keep away!
Is this the kind of crop you meant?

Emily, Of course you're right: I start with the wide view then sort of home in on the details. There are a couple of other close-ups I didn't include for fear of over-egging the pudding, so to speak. I too prefer the colour set: it's grim enough without resorting to the melancholy of monochrome. (But the popped colour one works, I think.)

There must be loads of interesting old industrial sites in Tennessee, old saw mills etc.

Regards,

Andrew

Yes Andrew I like that crop but it is a personal thing

James

Thanks Gareth,

Kris was right. Colour popping can look awfully artificial but it just lifts the monochrome shot here.

I expect there's lots of laces like that in your area. My son did a photo essay in Newport, based around the transporter bridge and Blaenavon, for his A2 level photography. He used real FP4 film and a proper darkroom...

Regards,

A.
