Default The wheels that grind

I dutifully went out to take photos of machinery because it is this weeks assignment, thinking, How boring! but what a surprise I got. So many shapes and lines and colours.

Machinery-4


Machinery-3


Machinery-2

That was an awesome set, but when I read your header, I thought the same thing...boring.
But the shots are really good

I love the colours in the first one and the glow on it from the sun...the contrast of the sky makes it jump off the page...all are very creative...nice work.

Michele, these are well done and I like them all. I would have to say I really like the contrast in colors on the first one. You've inspired me. I need to go out and find some machinery

What a great set Michelle and you were right you found some great shapes, lines and colours. All of them are excellent and both the coloured ones and the black and white ones work so well. My favourite is the first one. The colours textures and conrast along with the circle are just so pleasing to the eye. Lovely work Michelle.
