Training

Source material: Train.
This week, I intended to create purely “background” images consisting mainly of texture, and that led to reviewing images in my train directory. Here, an image that I had formerly passed over as too representational, really caught my eye. No manipulation to this photo other than to sharpen and adjust the levels.

This and the next image uses a damaged wall with some interesting shapes, contrasted and interacting with the oil tanker and gravel car.

Source material: Painted wood.
This is a process where the subject is what would normally be a “background” in other pictures. It’s difficult to leave this one as is, but in fact, the intention was to have it be even less recognizable. An indication that this might be a great place to explore further.
