These wheel bogeys were just sitting in the long grass with the hard light on them, it just looked too good to walk away from. Focal length was 94mm using my camera's amazing 12x optical zoom f2.8 Leica 35-432mm aspherical lens.
If I look back through photos I took 20yrs ago, there are images in there of high contrast construction objects. Sometimes they look ike what they are, other times they look totally abstract. Big shapes with big imact, they come from buildings or objects - its the light and dark impact that seems to matter. Having said that, I've yet to take one of these I am totally satisfied with.
About 10km from our house we have a place where I can explore this photographic fetish. It's a railway steam museum. They have several working engines, others in restoration and a graveyard of parts. I played in the graveyard for this shot.
Once again its the light early in the morning or late in the day that makes photography so dramatic. This was about an hour before sunset.
