HEAVY METAL!

There are websites with whole galleries of amazing pictures of textures with metals and grains of wood that you can download and use. But sometimes you can create your own.

While walking at the mysterious Moonfleet in Dorset this week, I saw a lonely, battered old shed right on the water's edge of the Fleet. Housing boats and boating paraphernalia, it had stood up to many a harsh winter.

Taking a closer look at it, the rusty and worn metal panelling were perfect for a series of photos with these kinds of textures.

Having downloaded these types of pictures before to use on my digital collages, I now have my own mini-library of heavy metal to use!!
