Colour and Texture

Old Digger XXVII

This is another view of the digger. This picture is not a picture of anything in particular. It is a picture of texture and colour. When examining a subject always try to cover as many angles as possible. You should also try to get back and see the shape of the whole and then get close and see if there are any details that might be good subjects in themselves. For this shot it is the crust of salty white sand and the beautiful spraypaint colour against the "industrial equipment yellow-orange" paint that is the subject.

The warning sign provides context and is enough to let the viewer know that this is a piece of machinery. It was certianly not necessary to include this for an abstract but I wanted to tie this picture back into the series of other pictures of the digger I took at that time.
