October Photo Challenge - Entries (Post them here)

The topic this month is: "Tools"

This thread is only for posting your entries and any comments you'd like to make about your own photo.
If you would like to comment on other entries please use the comments thread.
As usual, one entry per person and the image must be your own work.
Normal forum rules and image size applies.

The image doesn't necessarily have to have been taken this month but we do encourage you to go out and enjoy the challenge.

The winner of the poll, which will be run at the end of the month, will get to choose next month's topic.

Good luck and good shooting.

Here's my entry for this month. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'm not sure I've pulled it off very well.

Taken with my "snakescope" inside a socket viewing the rest of the socket set. Of course the resolution is limited with the snakescope (only 640x480) but the oppotunity of an unusual point of view was my temptation. Depth of field is great of course, but close focus is what I think has let me down...

Captured with AMCap and processed in Registax v5 and PS CS3.

Here are a few Tools including myself!
I am / was trying to grind / polish some stone of the rough opal stone in my left hand. I managed to grind some flesh of my knuckles hence me being the tool! ( I have some pics if you would like!).

However ... tools used were remote for camera, D90, headphones, Iphone, eye protection, dust mask, dremel, pliers, screwdriver, dremel tool accessory box and ( if it counts) an empty glass of JD & Coke.....
Bartman
P.S. I also used Toothpaste and Silvo to see if I could enhance the opal bits. Both those left white deposits on the rock. So I thought I would use some acetone...... heehhehehehe acetone on open wounds is quite an experience!

Tools!

I was watching my kids playing with the Lego the other day, which gave me this idea. And these little guys almost have a better tool collection that me!

A few files

A few of my dear old late grandfather's files in the
afternoon sun.
If these files could talk. They have certainly done some miles
and made a lot of dreams become reality.

Tough but great topic Tony
