First two images i found pretty interesting. First is from the side of a charity deposit station, I mainly took this shot for the brown smears but theres just so much going on within the cracks and theres alot of variation in the saturation of the browns and blues. It almost feels like theres a sort of hidden skin behind its light blue exterior and in certain places especially the centre, this 'skin' looks to be turning abit green, possibly moss though, but its like nature, like in most of my decay images, is trying to reclaim. The same goes for the next image, quite a lime green bench. The little circular spots bleeding out from the wood and white splotches makes it an interesting colour study, I found the cracks generic however so they didn't particularly interest me.
Another pair you'll love to love. They look quite similar but the reason why I want to compare these two is by the way liquid has collected. Firstly, you have the image to the left where its more collected, more jagged and alot more abstract than oppose to the right where you have alot more detail in the way liquid appears, more singular. As well as these stronger features, the actual surface is also quite nice, murky with the grain alternating, becoming busier and than blurred which made for a nice ground for the drippings to appear.
These two were quite unusual, but its an example of how tape in public spaces gets worn over time, possibly by boredom of waiting by a bus stop that they start defacing stuff like a pupil at a school desk. First image of the pair features some tape, purple and blue pen with claw markings almost, this was a very nice find due to one, being a mad lover for this colour scheme and two, a new way of decay being human interaction or even an animal. The edges are also fuzzy, unclear, as if the material was more like fabric. Next image was the remains of some decorative tape on a bus stop window, do like how it aligns with the road marking but the main eye candy for me is this symphony of spots running along the window, sunlight illuminating them, another exmaple of human interaction potentially causing decay. If you look at the arrangement as a whole, there is a pattern that repeats which was also really strange, how was that achieved, how could I replicate it.
Light plays a big role in this small collection too, seeing as its glass, the shadows can form colour or tint. First image I mainly wanted to see how light affects the appearance of this broken beer bottle, I noticed how shadow contained a mixture of green tint but also a black tint too which is seen to be quite distinctive. This quality is alot more apparent in the other image towards the right of border, the light also revealed alot of tiny cracks and cuts within the glass itself, the white sticker background provided an excellent base for comparison and I really did like how this was achieved. Lastly, the ground was also quite nice for a typical street road but for this particular image, kind of draws your eyes away abit from what I feel is 'the main prize'.
Miscellaneous Images of the day, we have an old building, only thing I wanted to point out was the edging of the roof and the supports, a slight grey white mixture of worn paint/surface, decay doesnt have to be clearly visible and its always nice to look like the little things. The next image was another great find. Sign hidden beneath as well as the actual support for the sign work together nicely, the spots under the 'M' show a nice small arrangement which I can replicate as a small side project and then there is this intense burn to the left which sparked an idea for actually burning things like materials, I was also going to suggest living things since I haven't been focusing on natural formations much but I don't think thats entirely moral, I'll keep thinking.
