Bottles and Tins old items in a window display, unusual tins for tobacco and bottles for various uses, found in North Carolina.
A smallish tin with geometrical shapes in front of my go-to wrapping paper with good lines. It needed something else I thought and added a little wooden train carriage to pick up the colour red.
It's an archive shot taken at the tin-working shop at Greenfield Village, an 80-acre historical museum complex in Dearborn, Michigan. It seemed like a good subject to try creating a sketch- or drawing-like look. I'm not sure how well I succeeded in that, but I like the look.

It took me a while to decide to post this photo. The theme motion blur for Macro Mondays took me way out of my comfort zone with my camera. Moving away from the automatic switch is very new to me and it proved to be very challenging trying to create the blur effect. I must have taken hundreds of photos, I was quite excited when I got the results of this spinning Vaseline tin which fell off the table numerous times in my attempts. I would have cropped the lights out of the back but then I would have lost the edge of the tin. I will try this again when I have more time and patience :-)
Good, old fashioned tin opener - this is called a ‘Butterfly’ tin opener. Used them for years - the sort my mum and grandma used as well. Very reliable and not gimmicky! Didn’t know it’s ‘official’ name until doing a bit of research.
An essential kitchen utensil!

And a bit of info just found on Google!
“Butterfly Tin Openers: These tin openers are made in a classic style that's been knocking about since the 1920s. They get their name from their shape, which somewhat resembles a butterfly and is a combination of a traditional church-key opener and a serrated-wheel opener.”
Hillbilly Tin Lizzie Shriner's do this old car for the Christmas parade every year, they have more fun than the kids do. Shot in North Carolina.
Barkerville British Columbia, Canada is a preserved historic gold rush town. In 1861 Billy Barker discovered gold in the area and his claim alone yielded 37,000 ounces (1,065klg) of gold. Before the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road, people hauled their own supplies to the town either on their backs or pack train which consisted of horses, mules or donkeys. The Cariboo Wagon Road started in Yale, British Columbia and went 650 Kilometres through extremely hazardous areas like the Fraser and Thompson River Canyons before reaching Barkerville.
