Some Decay/Rust shots from Portland

Unit 1: Visual Recording in Art and Design – Criteria P 2, 4, 5

So today I visited Portland near Weymouth. Famous for its stone and lighthouse, Portland Bill, and battered by the sea for centuries. Perfect for the types of shots I wanted as much of the metal machinery has been eaten away at by the sea air and the paint on the sheds doesn’t last long.

All the shots below are straight from Camera so have yet to be edited and tweaked but ready they look like the surface of alien planets, deep. Colours and rippling textured surfaces…. Nasa could save alot of money by popping along to Portland rather than sending satellites to Mars…

I am very pleased with the shots I got and will be even more pleased when I get to edit them and start thinking about which ones I will choose and how to display them.

For now though I’m done with the specific places I wanted to visit and can enjoy the rest of holiday.
