About What is up above you will find below"

A saying that is often true - Number 7 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.

Hi Bryan - you are right. My wive is accusing me of having falling sickness, lying next to a rusting drum for an hour every afternoon after work! You must realise the picture you see here is less than a square centimeter in real life. You cannot see these patterns with the naked eye but have to search for them through the lens at a 2.5 or 3 to 1 magnification ratio. Great fun, more so looking at the results.
