still life capturing the light cast on a tool and mug

This set of screwdrivers were a novelty in a Christmas Cracker. But believe it or not I have used them.

After a long life of hard work, these tools are now hanging out on the wall of a barn.

This is someones outside workshop

Created for Crazy Tuesday's theme Tools

A colored monochrome of an old tool against a roller shutter of metal in the same color.

I snapped this on a street that was being repaired.

Macro Mondays: "Tool"

A popular hand held multi-tool, with some gratuitous bokeh. Shot on a white acrylic sheet with a constant LED light, holiday lights for the bokeh.

The image is about 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) on the long edge.

Does loads of stuff. Finger nipping useful.

Many thanks for all views and fav's - particularly comments!

All are greatly appreciated!

Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

* In explore.

Used these recently on a project for a friend, they belonged to my Dad.

I bought most of these tools over 50 years ago, and many were already well used when I bought them, so they've definitely earned their rust.

Hello Valeria, what are you doing?

Uhmm, tooling?

You know what this wheel is for?

Yes, of course, it's for... thingy. You know?

Copying sewing patterns.

That's what I said!

So you're copying your boyfriend?

I... uhmm... he needs new clothes. Yes, totally new clothes, with being nekkid and so.

Yes I see. Can't be running around like that, this being a safe group.

Exactly! Glad you understand!

No sewing pattern copy thingies were harmed in the making of this picture.

I found this tool on my roof the other day when I was checking what the ducks were doing there. I don't think the ducks actually put it on the roof, more likely a construction worker did so years ago.

The greater mystery is what this tool is used for. I have found no practical use for it yet.

This image's provenance may go back to the famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer. It is one of the most copied master works of human kind. Vermeer may have used his knowledge and practice of art to employ technology to transform an ordinary image into a masterpiece. I found the descendant of his iconic image in a photograph by Zack Zhang (not sure as it was posted on Pinterest without proper attribution), which I studied by transforming it into a digital image in Procreate, the digital painting software. Then I used my rendition as a starting point for its tranformation into AI synthetic art by Stable Diffusion. A clip interrogator derived a prompt from my painting that read, "a woman with a blue head scarf on her head and a black background with a black background and a white background." I then further styled the picture, generating over a hundred versions. Marcel Duchamp says art is conceptual and artists simply go through a decision process to transform an ordinary object into an extraordinary one. This image is my homage to the artist working with whatever tools falls into their hands.

Todays challenge for the daily shoot was, What tools do you use and appreciate on a daily basis? Make an interesting photo of one such tool today.

Well I considered taking a shot of some of the tools out of my toolbox I keep in my office, but then thought about it, there really for decoration as I do not do hands on tech work any more so when I thought about it I had to get a shot of these, Not sure I appreciate the blackberry, but I am addicted to it and would be lost without my android Nexus one cellphone

Of course beingme I slipped in a little bit of reflection

Update on Dr's visit, it went well, not likely i will need surgery, it sees the problem is something I have had all my life, basically my knees are deformed and my knee cap doesnt sit where it should, so I start on Physical therapy on Monday twice a week for 6 weeks which hopefully will alleviate or ease the issues I have had
