I do love the peeling paint that you find in abandoned places, and when I think of the term ‘Beauty in Decay’ it is to this that my mind immediately goes to. Rooftops are still my favourite thing to ‘explore’, but when I find a derelict building and see the walls covered in crackling paint I get pretty excited by it.
In this shot I concentrated on the paint which is one of the columns in this room; as you can see the paint is more breaking up than it is peeling here, I would say due to both the material used for the column and the type of paint itself. I wanted to add an extra point of interest in the background so ran across the room and posed waiting for the 10 second shutter to release.
The texture of the paint is great. I think its time to start looking into a wireless shutter release. Actually I’m surprised you already haven’t got one after standing on those beams a few weeks back.
Very nice. You’re shots a very unique, its awesome!
I was wondering how it was a portrait – then I found you! Nice job!
That’s really cool looking. The paint has so much texture to it.
I definitely include myself among “lovers of peeling paint”. Perhaps we can form a support group, as long as I don’t have to change! Love the curved metal leading our eyes toward the subject of this unique portrait. Great composition.
