Thanks to Noel, I have the honor of hosting this week's Weekly Challenge. I love tools, especially classic ones and tools that don't need a battery/petrol. All kinds of tools are important to us. We use them every day, from slicing vegetables for dinner with a knife, to writing out the shopping list with a pen and paper, to turning a wrench and tightening the valve core on our bike's tire tubes... well, perhaps not everyone has a leaky valve requiring tightening. But you get my point. Brownie points for showing tools in use, and if the tool you're showing is an obscure one, feel free to enlighten us as to how it's used.
The Challenge will close on Sunday 2 October, midnight in your time Zone, and I'll try to get the judging done on Monday morning.
The Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Ricoh DSLR ) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, then the winner will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.
Some examples:
Compass They show the way. (An example of photoelastic birefringence)
Toothbrush Make your teeth healthy! (more photoelastic birefringence)
Filter Wrenches Need I say more?
Chain Tool and Wrench Bike mechanics routinely remove cassettes with them.
