Screwed

A screw is a pretty ordinary object, but this was in a not so ordinary place as it was taken out of my tire this morning. It shows quite a bit of wear, so I had been driving around with it in my tire for awhile. I am so thankful for the stranger who noticed it yesterday as I was getting into my car at a restaurant and told me about it! I was able to get it fixed before I ended up stranded somewhere with a flat tire.

 

I had a really hard time getting good focus with this. I should have gotten out my tripod, but I was too lazy. The shiny surface was a challenge and the dof is narrower than I wanted. This was the best I could do with my available time. I may revisit this when I have more time. Any suggestions for lighting with such a shiny surface? Too much and I have too much reflection, but I need more light to get the higher aperture I need for a better dof.
