OK, so every photographer at some stage does an old abandoned bicycle picture, and here’s mine.
In my defence, I can say that I travelled all the way from my home in Hiroshima, Japan, to Bologna, Italy to capture mine, so it’s not as if it’s merely a local abandoned bicycle.

Last December I treated myself to a Nikon 60mm f/2.8 AF-S in order to ease myself into the world of macro photography.
What better way to test it out than by going through some of the more industrial parts of Hiroshima and finding some exciting patches of rust to focus on.
The good thing about rust is that it stays still, unlike pesky bugs.
I really like rust – the textures and colours are fantastic, and getting in really close reveals an exciting jagged abstract landscape.

Another close-up of a child’s climbing frame in a Hiroshima park – proving that beautiful tones, textures and curves can be extracted from the most industrial of locations. (Anyone who as been to ‘parks’ in Japan will understand this : Japanese kids must be content to play in dusty squares devoid of any grass whatsoever).
