(First macro post)

My macro lens hasn't been getting much work since fall, so I decided to visit some antique trains that were in various states of decay (paint, rust, moss, etc.), basically, a junkyard. I lucked out and got there just after it rained, when the sky was overcast. I'll probably be back (if not to this location, then to another junkyard, there's no shortage of interesting subjects).

    These are so cool!
    I love images like this. The rain and overcast sky really popped the colors for you. I like the variety you presented too.

    I love all these shots Coscorrosa, Rust is just amazing, the patterns,
    the colours, flakes, chips ... everything about Rust is appealing to Photography clap.gif

    What a great place you found to take photo's ya lucky son of a gun :D
    You could create some awesome texture files too.

    Well done ! thumb.gif .... Skippy :D
