Das Boots by andycoleborn

Das Boots

I came across these old boots dumped along with a load of other rubbish, think PC monitor, beer cans, part of a table etc this lunchtime as popped out to get something to eat.

I used picnik to get this look, quite like how it's turned out but don't ask what I did... I really must keep a mental note of what I do in case I want to repeat on a different pic.

Got home to find the card saying the postie had tried to deliver my iphone today - I could pick it up tomorrow morning from the sorting office, but haven't time - so have re-arranged for Tuesday.

When I first moved to London, I was told Friday is POETS Day - I had no idea what it meant, but soon learnt it's Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday... Back then, Friday's were often spent in the boozer. All change now though, in fact, I can't remember the last time I had a swift half or two during my lunchbreak...
The editing is FAB

I like what the editing did to this shot. Maybe a note book instead of remembering how you did it then you could indulge in those beers.

Awesome capture. I do the same thing with editing, Andy . . . forget what I did. It's especially frustrating when you want to repeat the process. I guess that's where SOOC has its advantages.

love both the composition and the editing. that gritty, contrasty look is perfect here.

Great processing here. I remember the days; in one of my first office jobs I was sent out to buy beer and wine for the rest of the staff to drink at their desks Friday afternoons (it was a job recruitment agency). Shame times have changed, it made Fridays go so much quicker! :)
