April Photo Challenge - Entries (Please Post them here)

The topic this month is to feature: ... "Metal"
Nice and specific, yet wide enough to allow artistic interpretation.

Now for the small print: ...
This thread is only for posting your entry, together with any comments/explanation/details you'd like to issue concerning your own photo.
But if you would like to comment on other people's entries, or have any "other" shots of your own you'd like to share, then please use the Comments and Rejects Thread -> HERE.

Remember the Rules:
* one entry (just one image) per person and
* the image must be your own work.
* all other normal forum rules, and image size limits, apply.

The image doesn't necessarily have to be taken this month, but in the spirit of the challenge, we do encourage it, so you get out and get into it and enjoy the challenge.
In this regard, YES, the image may be one that you have submitted to a previous photo challenge, unless of course it has already been voted a winner.

The winner of the public vote, which will be run at the end of the month, will get to choose next month's topic and have their photo added to our "Photo Challenge Hall of Fame" thread.

NB:
Just to let you know, in the next two months I will be travelling in the outback, often with limited coverage. So bare with me and be patient if I am a bit late administering this challenge.

Good Luck!

"Astronomically Heavy Metal with the Moon"

The 26 metre antenna that first received a man's footsteps from the Moon in 1969...... Later renamed DSS44 after SkyLab, relocated to Tidbinbilla as DSS46 and finally retired in 2009. Now officially named as a 'Historical Aerospace Site'.

(The Moon can be seen just to the right of the dish)

2mm drill bit

This is what happened when I drilled a pilot hole into a snapped off bolt last weekend.
More drilling ensued.
Cursing followed.
More drilling.
More cursing.
Ordering a couple of small drill bits concluded the job.

Oooh I got excited when I saw the comp. title!
Hubby works with metal so we have lots of metal off cuts in in our garage . I spent last Saturday rummaging through his pile (geez some are so sharp, they're like knives- I've never handled metal before!). I'm scared of knives so this was a double challenge for me .

Once I set it all up hubby really enjoyed seeing some of these old bits he hadn't seen for a long time- CAD laser cut bit, some machined bits etc. Hope my metal lingo is correct
Rewind when I'd just started setting up and he spotted me handling that long spiral off cut at the front trying to un-knot it from others. He went crazy with fear, I got a lecture on how he's seen finger pads ripped off by them blah blah. I don't ever think I've ever scared him so much. He handed me tongs .
Geeeez this photo challenge business with blokes toys can be dangerous .

I set up when it got dark to try and play with light and shadows- a subject that's fascinating to me and I want to learn, so was lots of fun. Aside from my ceiling light, I had one to the side and I had alfoil everywhere incl. hanging down vertically to bounce the light. I shot in RAW which is something I don't normally do. And omg the nightmare it gave me. After all that effort, both my basic editing programmes wouldn't open it . I'm only just starting to learn the Canon editing software and I don't have a very good head for understanding editing as it is, and the RAW files showed up with so much info, it was confusing, my head was well and truly being fried.
I tried several attempts, none of them being as good as the RAW pic .
I gave it to hubby to have a go at editing but gave it back to me quite dark, I was like.... I spent so much effort to bounce light and you go and remove it, what the hell , so I fired him.

So anyhow.... here it is, straight out of the camera, just cropped.
I won't be working with RAW again for a really long time !
