Everyone has to go through some rusty period in some point of time in their life..however stronger or sharper they may be in their earlier life everybody is destined to face some rusty phase.(Even if they are self proclaimed "stainless"!!!)

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.

een tijdje geleden heb ik affiches gemaakt voor het AmsterdamSymphony Orchestra met bustes van componisten met make-up. Toen zag ik dit affiche. Stelletje Steledieven! Later zag ik dat het affiche deels was afgeplakt met "RUST". Wat een toeval!

The beauty of old buildings is that "ugly" can take on a beautiful meaning - textures, shapes and colours abound.

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.

Small surface rust could be a defect, or it could be the result of some contaminant.

I was trekking through the small town of Livingston Texas with a friend when we happened to see this rusted truck along the road side. The truck was just begging for us to stop and photograph it! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any identifying marks that would give me a clue as to the make/model of this unique looking truck.
