Textures #2

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 13 November 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Continuing with my textures theme for the week, here's a close up of some ropes and a rusty chain in an old fishing boat, a nice contrast I think!

It should be said that I got this idea from the adorama website, specifically this page, and this page was brought to my attention through the aminus forums (Join if you haven't already!)

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

@FC: There have been some problems with the forum recently, but you do need to register for it seperately to aminus, you don't use the same login! Thanks for your comment!

Love this shot Dave. The simple textures are great and imagine the stories these could tell about 'the one that got away!'. :)

There is something about the way the sea weathers things, that sets it apart, the beautifully bleached rope hides innocently behind the strong rusted chain. Super textures and colours in this superb image, I love this one Dave.

I like the DOF and the oposition of tone between the rust chain and the rope

Nick Grundberg from Columbus, Ohio, United States

Awesome capture of textures here. The colors here set that kind of "cold" mood.

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

It's the whole that works... the textures, colours, dof, framing... Excellent image!

@amy: Thanks Amy

Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom

Wow, I agree with Amy here, Dave. That's true indeed!! Absolutely first-class textures, tones, DOF and framing. And the contrast in textures and tones, alongside some superficial similarity in shape, is indeed striking. Truly outstanding.
