it is a pleasure to post for the first time in visual shots . i just recently learned of the community from . i am an amateur photographer who often likes to play around with editing. here i have used a mixture of settings offered in my phone or camera and later done all the editing in stages on the free version of photoshop express on my laptop.
in my home town there is a lovely park which used to be a naval base back in the days of wooden sailing ships. there are lots of historical remnants scattered throughout the park, this series focuses on an old crane that was used for loading and unloading the ships at dock. the crane is no longer in use but it is maintained fairly well. nonetheless there is a fair amount of rust, algae and wear which makes it all the more interesting.
