Wingnuts

This is my contribution to Macro Mondays' theme "Wings".

 

Wikipedia explains (cf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingnut_(hardware)):

"A wingnut, wing nut or butterfly nut is a type of nut with two large metal 'wings', one on each side, so it can be easily tightened and loosened by hand without tools."

 

The photograph shows two 3/8"-16 UNC wingnuts, mounted to threaded rods. The thread-type is one of the - I assume - two standard-thread-types for photo- and filmography equipment.

 

Image-dimensions (circa): 37mm x 60mm (approximately the golden cut, though the composition does not really fit it).

 

I used darktable, gimp and zerene to pp this. The photo was taken with the Nikon AF Micro 60 mm f/2.8 together with an extension tube on a Nikon D850 mounted to a WeMacro rail.

 

PS: For German photographers bestimmt 'ne geile Seite: www.fotoschraubenshop.de/info/ ... bei denen hab ich die Gewindestangen und Muttis auch gekauft.
