One of my photo friends suggested to go "Urban" the other week. This means you enter a deserted building or other terrain(mostly industrial), take some shots without being hurt or killed by collapsing structures and get out before you are arrested for trespassing.
Just kidding (although I was visited by the police)! Old buildings are a great way of expressing your creativity, but you need to be patient, absorb the environment and really look to find those captures. It took me over an hour before I 'saw' this composition.
The fallen down support beams showed great texture - when I looked at it in colour it was an 'ok' image, but when turned into a black&white picture the texture came out right. It really emphasizes the rotten wood.
I'm not quite satisfied with the results - The upper right corner isn't just right and there is a distracting line in the top of the image. I may repair that later, by either editing & cropping the image or by going back and redo the image (which is more fun, although it is raining cats & dogs in the Netherlands right now...).
TIP: If you live in the Netherlands, it is a good idea to visit http://www.snapspots.nl/ to find those inspirational photo sites. This site is listed as well!
