The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art Round Seven. The Theme is Rust!

in mundaneart •  7 years ago 

Rust, we fight against it, sand it off, paint over it and fret about its effects. This time though we're searching for the beauty in it and we shall create another mesmerizing virtual art gallery of rust as art! 

Here's a Reminder of The Galleries That You've Already Helped Create!

 

1.)Art Exhibit of Manhole Covers!

2.) Your Photographs of Streets!

3.) Damaged Asphalt Gallery 

4.)Tree Bark Virtual Gallery

5.)Stones

6.) Grass (I'll be creating the gallery for this one and announcing the winners as soon as I get back from Tenerife as I'm working from my phone right now!) 

Rust as Art!

I got this idea from a post by @vee2180 She took a photograph of a rusted out steel pipe and it caught my attention and admiration!  "Old Iron Tube, Still Pretty"

Do you mind that I enjoyed the title more than the photo itself?
Great combo though, well done :)

I guess if we all liked exactly the same things, the world would soon run out of variety.

I love the metal very much, Good luck!!

This is a very nice entry!

I love this entry!

Well done!

This is my favorite entry. But it should be viewed full size!

I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to view the full render of the photo I do think that it is better viewed at a 1:1 best rather than a downscale as a thumbnail image. :)

Oh, sure. I did see your post about it before when you posted it.

Here's my entry: detail of a rusted bolt on a pier

That's a great entry to the contest. Thanks!

I like it!

Oh! I love rust photos!

Ok. How about these old rusty stoves. I love how each one is a different color of rust!

Very nice!

You found something unique here!

Thanks! I thought they were pretty cool!

Thanks!

Yes @homeheartpictures always has a nice submission. I'm currently in Tenerife!

Well done!

Thanks!!!

Thanks fo entering. Art is very personal but a minimalistic approach could help here as we're looking for rust as art and not rusty objects. Check this sample using your same photo.

If you could submit something like that in higher definition it could have a worthy place in our gallery. Hope this helps. :)

Ok, thanks. :)


Nice view at Klaipeda Old Town catching a part of river, the bridge and the masts of sailing ship.
Rust overlay added in post production to make a feeling of older times

Enjoy the scenery :)

I love the photo. It's a completely different interpretation of the theme and I like it!

Exactly what i was thinking, instead of bringing you just a rust, which you already have pretty a lot :)

My entry

That's a great entry and well worth the hunt!

Here's my entry:

The land is slowly reclaiming her!

Awesome. Is that your car ?

I saw my tractor wheel as art, love it! This old beast is as rusty as I feel but we both still work!

Great stuff. Thanks!

Questa volta ci provo! Andrò a caccia di ruggine!

Ti aspetto!

Very nice!

That is a thing of beauty!

Have a wonderful New Years Eve as well as a great year 2018! :)

Well, well this one is interesting!

I'm sorry I didn't see this contest from the first round :)

Here is a rust entry:

Good work, @kus-knee!

Glad that you made it this time!

Thanks for entering!

Whats the results of theme grass?

I just got back from vacation and so I'm behind on creating the gallery as I need my iMac to do it. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow!

Oh great:) take some rest:)..

here is my entry@kus-knee

thanks for using my picture :-) as a example

nice! But could you not have used the pipe again? I love that one ! it is some kind of erotic :-)

i don't think that is possible ....

I will galdly use the pipe in the gallery. It's great and you inspired this theme with it!

Thank you very Much kus-knee

I see that as a disadvantage

Thanks a lot!

A door I know very well... when did you took this? Can't remember the zero-stress-group sign...

It must have been 6 years ago

Ik wist dat pixelfan bekend was in Antwerpen :-) Maar ik wist niet dat je haar bedoelde toen je zei dat iemand je poort herkende. :-) Leuk he de wereld toch weer wat kleiner.

Echt he :-) begin het steeds leuker te vinden

Beautiful photo!

And another good contest ! See my entry:

Fantabulous!

I really like it!

Thanks :)
Actually rusty photos are one of my favourite theme.

Hi there! What an excellent competition. Here is my entry! I normally photograph feathered things so it's pure luck that I happened to take this photo on one of my normal wildlife photography trips.

Thanks for going out of your comfort zone. Nice photo!

Thank you :)

Thanks a lot. Don't forget to add the photo to the comments here.

Thanks a lot. Don't forget to add the photo to the comments here.

Sorry. My mistake. :)

Great. It helps me to be organized!

I'm definitely going to have to be part of this one!

You have done me a great service here, because now my rusty fence has gone from its prior status of "eyesore" to a much more elevated status as ART. Which is a pretty fine thing. I think I shall make a post... just waiting for the rain to stop pouring down!

I'm looking forward to both your post and your entry. We started this one off slowly but some great pieces are coming in now.

Some are just sending in pictures of rusty things but we're looking for rust as ART! Photos that could hold their own in a gallery.

Here we go @kus-knee, my picture for the RUST challenge:

I hope you guys had a good time in Tenerife-- and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, that was worth waiting for! I'm really pleased with so many of the submissions in this round. We've really managed to find some great beauty especially with some of the macro shots.

Tenerife was great and we managed to see most of the island. All the best to you and yours as well!

Speaking of subjects for future challenges... how about MOSS?

Moss pretty much grows everywhere; some form in nearly every climate-- around here we have to scrape it out of the seams in the roof to keep leaks from happening... but it can also be very beautiful.

I like you suggestion and I'll put it on the list!


hello dear friend @ kus-knee, here is my contribution to this wonderful call, thank you very much for allowing us this fun
I wish you a wonderful day

Very beautiful rust!

Thanks so much, dear Old Dog! I'm watching so many beautiful pieces here, really inspiring!

I wish you, friend, @kus-knee , a good New Year! Thanks for the interesting theme!

Looking at this metal door, you can say: Because on earth everything will be destroyed by rust...

Thanks for your entry!

There is beauty there!

I like the composition!

Thanks for the entry!

Nice idea, there are so beautiful pictures ! :-)))

Will our gallery be without a photo from the great artist @carolineschell? That wouldn't be right!

I will do it ;-))))

Thanks a lot. Don't forget to add the photo to the comments here.

Edited! Now with picture :-)

Same door as @vee2180 posted, but I've gone for the details ;-)
Funny to see someone posting something from your own neighbourhood... are you from Antwerpen city @vee2180?

Thanks for entering!

I wonder how you can see if people tagged you in a message? @pixelfan? Vee is a personal friend and she lives close to me.

I did a post to promote this contest here. I will enter one in a day!
https://steemit.com/mundaneart/@old-guy-photos/feeling-a-little-rusty

Great thanks!

My parents are somewhat hoarders, this is just one of the many rusty items hanging around their property. Most of it was found on the property. I am sure they will never use it as they have plenty more that aren't rusty or broken but they like the ascetic appeal it gives their old wooden house. Its quite fascinating what they have found or dug up over the years. they have created quite the homage to old farming equipment.

Great. Thanks!

Oh, the glory of a little rust! The only thing better is more rust.

Hay very great contest and I am going to participate In this contest. The theme is also unique.

Thanks!

welcome :-)

It's my first entry in your competitions. Here is our old bathtub "bleeding".
I hope I'm not the only one who sees it like a nasty, deep wound.

It seems to be very much like snake skin as well!

Yeah, now that you mentioned it...

Rust art great check out my post i ve great picture

It's nice. If you want to enter it for consideration in the gallery you will need to include it here in the comments.

Here is my entry:

Very nice!

Love the theme, man. I'm sorry I don't have any shots on this laptop to compete

Rust is everywhere can you take a new picture?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I love the idea of making art out of the mundane. I have UpVoted and will make an entry here.
Thanks for the contest and look forward to see what shows up!

By the way how do you pst an image in one of the replies/comments?

Thanks

I did enter a photo @ohicklin, but unfortunately don't know how to load one into this reply.

Yes you need to enter it here. Just paste the address for the photo in the comments. Like this:

Thank you! I'll give it a try and hope I can keep up.
Now I know how my mother feels when I try to teach her how to use a smartphone.

guess i'll walk outside and take a picture of my car....

Sounds like a plan!

It's sounds strange to have rust as a theme.
But if you think again, Rust always has this texture which actually makes it good art forms.
Im into photography and I often use these rusty backgrounds for my portfolio shoots.
It gives this grungy finish

I'm looking forward too your entry!

It's good when art has a bigger dimension, it reminds me of the colorful colors of our character. Mysticism of beauty brings new ways to our creative thoughts. You're always genuine, I love it with you.

Thanks so much!

I guess I'm surrounded by old people too much nowadays at work. I immediately thought of rust in the figure of speech 'getting old' way... Haha.

This is a cool and very original subject! I'm curious to see what people will come up with. I LOVED the manhole covers exhibit. Let's see what this will bring us :)

And how about 'clouds' or 'street furniture' for the next round?

Thanks for your ideas.

so how old are old people?

Haha. I work in an elderly home so a few youngsters below 70. A lot of people between 80 and 100. And then a few 100+ years. I'm allowed to call them old, right? ;P

Ok. Then I can still agree with you.
Have a great day!

Haha, good. Thanks, you too!

Nice one again, @kus-knee.. changed my entry
()of art
Title: Rust and nature

I feel it was a contest looking for Steemit's most handsome user you might win.

We need pictures of the rust.

Oops.. ok... I change it when I have another which fits more..

Changed my entry.. I hope this suits better..

Now, that's art!

I love your original ideas! It's super, I'll happily take part! Happy holidays to you!

Lovely!

No rust for @countrygirl, except for rusty hair (I'm a ginger) and rusty joints (I'm old). However, I'll take a look around the house - you never know when I'll find something rusted. My basement needs to be cleaned out - I might find art for you there.

Hi Old Dog! Thanks for picking another fabulous topic... Here is my entry for Round Seven. The Theme is Rust!

mundaneart-rust-rwe.jpg

Looking good!

Thank you!

@kus-knee
Great contest

Very original idea to make the theme of the competition rust. I did not have a single photo on this topic. I had to take the camera and go take pictures. At least some good from the old apartment that I'm renting. Voila, and this photo is ready, he is less than 10 minutes of life :) Good luck to you and good.

Очень оригинальная идея сделать темой конкурса ржавчину. У меня не было ни одной фото на эту тему. Пришлось брать камеру и идти делать снимки. Хоть какой-то толк от старой квартиры, что я снимаю. Вуаля, и готово это фото, ему меньше 10 минут жизни:) Удачи Вам и добра.

DSC_0006 (3).JPG

Quite a bit here to capture the eye!

wonderful and precise photography one point wow

this nice post is a friend.
success for you always.

Your originality captures me :)

That's a nice idea for a contest, @kus-knee. Upvote & resteem!

This slogan looks great dear friend @ kus-knee, I hope to find some good shots to participate in this new challenge
I take the opportunity to wish you a wonderful day

Rust could be this amazing wow can't even describe the beauty

The second one wow beauty !

Nice post

Beauty lurks everywhere. Is wanted to see her. As they say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".Your incredible photo of rust is excellent.

Great idea! :D I'll look for something rusty tomorrow.

Great!
