2000 Toyota Rav4. Just an example of every day challenges as a mechanic in the rust belt.Step 1: use chipping hammer to knock off rust. step 2: drill out remains of cotter pin. step 3: pound socket 3 sizes smaller than original nut onto rusted nut and hope it comes off. step 4: if all else fails use cutting torch to cut nut/stud off. step 5: prepare speech to customer for the increased cost of repairs.

My first entry in the April Photo Challenge. Trevor alternates the challenges, so there won't be another one until June, so get in on the action while the gettin's good. This month's theme is "entropy."
Anyway, my first photo is a rusted pole, shot with my 100mm macro lens, this morning. It's at the intersection of 28th St and Army Navy Drive in Arlington, and holds the bus schedule for Route 22B. For you technical folk, I added a small amount of sharpening and bumped the saturation a bit. I kept my XTi on continuous shooting and AI Servo for focusing, and shot 4 frames to make sure I could get one in focus.
The ideal is to find things that have rusted naturally, but that’s not always possible. I decided to try a new rust effect product on some items laying around the house, to see what would happen. As you can see this rust effect product works very well on plastic, wood or even glass. Also possible to paint with it. Have a good fun.
