Rusty old chain

The wall of an outbuilding at the boys school had a built in metal pole, with a piece of rusty old chain hanging from it, which was presumably used to lock a no longer in existence gate. The wall, chain and pole seemed to be a good study for texture and composition etc. however, the colour just didn't do anything for me, so I cropped it, and changed the colours.

Go Goth

The stark black and white of the average goth type make-up look inspired this image. Kinda. At the height of the rolling power outtages in South Africa, we came across this power thingie, and a little photoshop later we were able to tell the light from the dark. Even though Eskom couldn't, and still seems to have the odd problem discerning light and dark.

Construction crane boom at Hemingways in East London

While the Hemingways Mall in East London was under construction, there were these massive great cranes on the site. We stopped there one morning so that Terry could take some photos of the cranes. I was sitting in the car, and noticed that one of the cranes had swung its boom out over the roadway. I had only a cell phone with me, but used that to take this crane pic.

Stuck away

This is another study in apparent futility. I saw a picture, and tried to get it into the camera. The camera saw another picture, and went its own way. At the end of the day, I was stuck with a picture of a wall with, in a distant corner, a fern growing out of it. I cropped, color-tinted and swore at Photoshop until I got this result.
