Looking for rust..

I wasn't sure exactly where to begin with my search for rust, i set out with my phone camera in tow and strolled the streets of  oxford road in the hope of coming across a piece of magic! As i was unable to find anything of any worth i decided to take a quick trip to Hotspur house to see what was on offer there. 

Luckily the damp cold atmosphere was the perfect place for rust to be made and i managed to get some really striking images.

 

The striking orange colour is a really nice contrast to the sharp white painted background.
Notice the darker edge to the rust? This makes the whole thing really stand out.

I actually think my favorite image from Hotspur is the bottom right one. I love how the rust seems to just form itself from the holes in the wall/piping. The shapes are really natural and the colours are quite subdued, a quality that really captures my attention.

Many different ideas to come from these 4 images.
