About	What is up above you will find below" A saying that is often true - Number 6 in a series I am doing on the "Appearance of Rust". All photos were taken on subjects in my backyard which are in a natural process of oxidation. Most of it on an old painted 44 gallon drum. My aim is to find patterns, textures and colours that echoes possible scenes from this world and even the universe. So please take on your imaginary glasses and tell me if you see what I saw, or something different or ...nothing at all! These are all at the super-macro level (magnification ratio of 2.5 to 1 and closer). I used my Nikon 105 micro lense with a 2.5X Panagor macro converter. All settings on manual, the built-in flash on manual, full strength. Not tripod used. All photos are uncropped. All colours are as I found them - the only changes made were adjustments of brightness and contrast.

A really nicely framed rust abstract macro. Almost looks like a mineral macro. I like the simplicity of this one...

Love the wash of colours here... are these caused by the rust or nicely manipulated in Photoshop? Very effective.

Hi Sue - I used the minimum manipulation here - only a slight adjustment in contrast, brightness and sharpness. The colours are derived from right to left:
* Deep reds - wet oxidising metal - Rust,
* Blue-green tones - degenerating paint, discoloured by heat (drum used for barbeques!) and creeping rust
*Light blue/grey - a weathered label on the drum surface

Hope it make sense!

Brilliant! I think I'm going to start collecting scrap metal in my yard now... lol

Very impressed by the whole series... thank you for your reply.
