Rusty Pipe

 

I found this pipe (below) on the beach. I found the detail of the rush fascinating and wanted to capture the components texture and colour in the photography.

I took the pipe away from the beach and took the photographs against a white background to make the darkened areas stand out.

I used harsh lighting to really make the detail clear and used a macro setting on my camera to really show this too. I used depth of field to only highlight certain parts of the pipe. The parts I wanted the viewer to focus on, as I thought it would narrow down even more what the viewer got to see. Furthermore I  photo shopped the photos slightly to enhance the white background more and the colour of the rust. I cropped some of the images too as some have masses amount of white background and I liked it to look filled out in the frame.
