Day 273 - Dilapidation

[Mike Farley]

Day 273 and close to where I live there is a footbridge over a disused railway line. I have been using it for years without giving it much thought as it was something on my route to somewhere else. On this occasion, I was not in a hurry and realised that it is possible to walk around underneath it. It is badly in need of repainting, but fortunately for photographers who like a bit of decay this has not happened.

You do love your rust, decay and dilapidation (harking back to the shots you put into the exhibition too)

I remember those shots Mike told me they were from the Gatwick Aviation museum. Been meaning to go there ever since but havent had the time

Yes, those shots were taken at the Gatwick Aviation Museum. To get the effect I went rather berserk with the sliders in ACR, setting almost everything at 100%!

You'll need to be quick if you want to visit this year as it is only open on Saturdays until the end of this month, i.e. just three more opportunities. I am thinking about going on 26 October if anyone is interested.
