Scrap metal

Scrap metal
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters Stretched to 800%: soundcloud.com/belloww/metallica-nothing-else-matters-stretched-to-800

Once again a lucky coincidence was on my way. During last week I suggested my friends at The Sunday Challenge group to shoot something "big" for this week's Metal challenge, something like ship, bridge or Eiffel tower...

Yesterday I went to shoot the contents of a scrap metal container. And there it was: a clock illustrated with Eiffel tower! And the view was just as seen on the picture. Nothing moved or added =)

But please do open in full size and notice the post processing trick... ;-)

The "bleeding colors" is made with GIMP wind effect. First image has to be turned 90 degrees during editing. Then the wind effect is combined in two stages, using two layers, where the 'Color' layer mode is used on one layer, and 'Hue' layer mode on another.

Melanie from N.Y., Gudrun, Ulrich John, Annemarie and 18 other people have particularly liked this photo

Das ist eine interessante Zusammenstellung. Habt ihr eigene Container für Metall? Bei uns kommen Konservendosen mit Plastikverpackungen zusammen in die Tonne ...

Yes, here we (consumers) do separate (or try to separate) metal and plastic. As you can see in this picture, someone has thrown there a plastic back, and surely that clock also have some plastic parts. Of course little amounts of plastic does not matter when the scrap becomes separated into aluminum and other metals, and then melted.

Well Sami, you've managed to get the Eiffel Tower in a scrap metal container which must be at least 324 metres wide. Gustav will not be pleased. ;-)

On the other hand, all that scrap metal could be used to create an Eiffel tower duplicate =D

Like Thomas couldn't resist a pun here. Time is short for these items. Our metal challenges always cease to amaze with. The images are so clever. :)

Nicely crafted as ever Sami ... hard to believe though you'd come across this after what you'd said, but I believe you! ;)

Thanks Paul =)

I actually took several versions during the week. But when I saw this view on Saturday morning, I just knew it definitely was worth to wait, and see all that trouble.

That is the sad truth =(

Although the video was in Deutsch, I somewhat know the story already. The only true solution would stop using plastic altogether, and still it is somewhat too late already.
