I didn’t have much to do today, so in an effort to fight the
boredom I caught a bus and went to the harbour for a walk. On one side of the
harbour is a small café and, next to this, a railway. It’s mostly disused now,
only serving tourists on a steam train during the summer. There are no barriers
along the tracks so, during the winter, children play on the them; it also
means I have chance to take photos!
I had taken several photos on the train tracks, and was
beginning to think about leaving when I spotted these notches all the way along.
I’m not sure what they are, but I thought that it would make a good photo. I
originally took it in colour, but apart from a little redness from the rust,
most of it was grey. Because of this, increasing saturation didn’t look right,
so I tried turning the image black and white; I was really pleased with the
photo in black and white as it adds to the idea of the subject having age.
I increased the contrast in Photoshop and sharpened the
image, but decided to leave everything else, as I didn’t want to lose any
detail. I love going for walks when I don’t have a lot to do; there’s always an
excuse to take a camera!
