The reverse of this shot/.

This was the shot I actually wanted to get of the trailer, but when I took the original the sun was in almost exactly the wrong place and blew out the sky. I took this a couple of days later with the sun high in the sky behind me.

I love the textures in this image; the sky, the wood and metal of the trailer, the nettles. I with I could have found an angle where the house wasn't in shot, but you can't have everything.

A trailer that someone abandoned near my home. Edited to remove some powerlines (hurrah for the Gimp's healing algorithm, which helped to cover my sins).

Also, the title is an apt description of how I'm doing with this project yet again. Certain events have made things more difficult in terms of future photography, but I'm hoping to at least catch up by the end of the weekend.

This is a pile of assorted junk next to my neighbour's garage. I have no idea what most of it is.

I took this shot because I liked the contrasting textures of the grass, the rust, the blue paint and all the rest. It didn't come out quite how I'd intended though.

Junk by moonlight

I went out in the freezing dark tonight, wondering if I could snaffle some star shots. Well, it turns out that astrophotography isn't my forte yet, which is why you're not seeing a beautiful shot of Ursa Minor here.

But whilst I was outside in the pale moonlight I did spot this pile of junk in my neighbour's yard. So I shot it, using the same settings, more-or-less, that I'd used for the star shots.

It was still a bit boring so, inspired by FatPete's recent TTV shots, I applied one of Nesster's TTV overlays to it in multiply mode.

And voila. A slightly grotty-looking junk pile. Probably a bit too dark, but still interesting-looking, I think.
