Great shots. This subject matter works equally well in b&w or colour.
All the best,

Excellent set again Andrew, with this standard mere mortals like me will soon have to have a master class from you.

Yes... Nobody does rusty metal and peeling paint, quite like you, Andrew.
The second from last shot is delicious!

...and a lovely balance of 5 v 6 in favour of the colour images, Andrew.
No 7 would be my pick of these.

Excellent stuff Andrew. I love the textures of rust and peeling paint. Your pictures remind me of Tanfield Railway near where I live, there are lots of rusting hulks there. I'll post some I did there on Saturday soon.

Thanks everyone. Glad you like them!
I loved the way the strong directional sun cut across these sad old wagons. Hard not to take pictures in such a place!
Weldingblues... you live fairly near Leighton Buzzard which has a brilliant narrow guage railway with a brickworks at one end. there's all sorts of interesting material there...

If its an acquired taste, then I think I must have acquired it! I love both the fascinating detail in the close-up textures and the long, sad, line of decaying waggons.A bit of an acquired taste, I'm afraid.
You probably don't need any more encouragement, but keep finding stuff like this!
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

What a great set. Thats given me some inspiration to have a go at something similar. Plenty of rusty and rotting farm machinery not too far from where I live.

Thanks Ian,
Good hunting. Be sure to post the results on here when you have them! I always imagined Sweden to be all sterility and sanity!

Thanks Huw,
Always love it when you drop by and I think others feel the same.
The forum is all the poorer without your contributions!
