#224 Metals
Posted By: Jools, 11-23-2012, 10:20 AM

Welcome to another Weekly Challenge
Thanks to Kevin (pentaximus) for hosting a great challenge last week!

METALS is the theme for this week. (I hope I am not repeating a recent theme) I like the feel of metal in my hands and enjoy looking at it in good lighting. Looking for anything from an ordinary tool to something metallic outdoors, to something being made that involves metals or the fabrication of metal. Old or new, anything goes. For me the idea is that the image conveys the feel, strength and presence of a metal. It is all subjective but let's give it a shot! Look forward to your images.

A few examples from my own but possibilities are endless.











The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread. If it's not obvious, explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
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 closes after 7 days, then allows for a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
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, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass the baton to that person to be the judge.

This challenge will end Thursday, November 29 when I get home "around" 8 p.m. Central Standard Time.

Previous 12 Challenge Subjects:, 211-Abandoned, 212 - Trees, 213 - Fences, 214 - Physical Strain, 215 - The Daily Grind, 216 - Colors of nature, 217 - Heavy Industry, 218 - Wisdom, 219-Surprise, 220 - Blue, 221-Vanishing Point, 222-Motion, 223-Juxtaposition,

Russian Tins

Thought I'd go a different direction with this. I got in trouble with the security guard at a Russian grocery store after taking photos in the store so I had to endure a rather uncomfortable trashing in Russian, a language I don't understand, to get this photo. He did, however, know how to say "delete". And I did delete the photo I'd just taken of Vodka bottles, but this one was still in my camera. I loved the look of these labels.
