Walk on the beach
Pollution is an awful thing but at the same time it represents human life, in all it's beauty.

I love the way you see things; through your camera and in your mind. There can be interest and beauty found in the discarded if we take time to notice it is even there.

This is a masterpiece. The lines the subject the message the picture. You have the eye of a master.

Hi...thanks for entering this into my 'beach oddities challenge'. I'm assuming it's an old barrel? Anyway, it's the sort of shot I was hoping for and it's already in my 'favorite' section for my voting at the end.

Love the low angle point of view. This picture just feels "beachy". Not sure what the buried "treasure" is, but you sure composed perfectly around it.

On a Dutch beach I found this wonderful little tin can, all rusted away. Beauty in pollution and decay...Time
It was just after noon on an early summers day.Lighting
The sun was having a feast and the sky was deep blue, a great chance for a natural lighted photo.Equipment
I have a Lumix DMC-TZ60, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket.Inspiration
We are all polluting our own wonderful world we are living in... It's at the same time a horrible but photogenic subject. As I tried to take a ground level photo, I saw the can had a hole through wich I could see the ocean, a nice POV with an extra dimension to it. At first sight it looks like a big rusted barrel but in fact it's a little tin can... This effect is achieved by the low point of view I chose.Editing
This was mostly a natural shot, hardly any post-processing was done, I cropped the photo and removed some dots of dirt in the foreground. I allways shoot a wider shot, to have a wider range of sharpness.In my camera bag
I don't have a bag of equipment at all, only my Lumix DMC-TZ60, a wonderful intelligent automatic pocketcamera wich practically fits in my backpocket. It shows that you do not have to use expensive and big cameras to achieve nice results...Feedback
When I try to take a photo, I allways look at the background as well as my subject. I try to avoid any disturbing items or colors surrounding the main subject in order to get the full focus on it. I also take my time to find the most interesting point of view to shoot. If you want to photograph an object on groundlevel it's better to choose a low point of view because it's the most logical option to have a good view of your subject in relation to the surrounding. If you want to have a deeper field of sharpness, try to take the photo from a bit more distance and crop it later into the size and composition you like best. Crop the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
