I think this is a small vintage cupboard lock. I lucked out a little as I nearly used this object for last weeks theme as lock and key!

This rustic door and lock grabbed my attention for an abstract shot while visiting Herronswood House and Garden, Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula.
I came across this old lock on a woodland walk I went on recently. I'm not even sure what it's purpose is although it was nearby to an old water tap so I'm sure there was some connection there. My guess is that it hasn't had any action for quite some time. Somewhere I'm sure there is an antique looking key that no one still alive knows the purpose of. (I've got a lot of those lying around my house come to think of it.)
This was taken with a vintage Tamron 500mm mirror lens with a fixed aperture of f/8, a lens best known for it's 'donut' bokeh. This lens carries with it it's challenges due to the slowness of that f/8 aperture, so really only a lens for bright sunny days where getting enough light into the lens won't be a problem.Having said that it really is quite fun to use and one can control exposure to a degree with the combination of the camera's ISO setting and shutter speed (which for this lens really shouldn't be below 1/500th sec if one wants to avoid serious camera shake). But it's quite sharp for something as cheap as it currently sells for. Expect to pay 30 to 40 pounds for one in half decent condition.

Saturday Self Challenge; Locked
With a rainy day and time on my hands I've been playing around with editing effects, and debating between this and a black and white version that showed spider webs ono the wall behind the door. However, i decided to get brave and go all out with pop colour.
Locked up in The Kleine Koppel, Amersfoort, The Netherlands.
