A
double-edged sword of teaching photography is that one ends up going to
the same places for field trips time and time again. The down side of
this is that, in repetition comes over familiarity - that which is
interesting and engaging the first couple of times is simply overlooked
at later periods. On the flip side, when faced with "nothing to
photograph", I tend to fall back to practicing composition -simply
making visual design with the world around me. This image of the door of
the Dingle Tower is a great example of this.

The
other easy thing to do when at a loss for things to photograph, is fall
back on macro; everything is different when close up, and often the
familiar and mundae becomes engaging...the brass stud in this door for
example changes completely when viewed close.

An
image like this always serves two purposes; on the immediate level, it
is a really pleasing image of a rusty pole, but it also gets the
"textures" keyword, which means it likely will appear in a digital
composite image...someday.
