Bottles and Tins old items in a window display, unusual tins for tobacco and bottles for various uses, found in North Carolina.

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.

Disused tin mine on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, UK

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 :-)

The custom of hanging up tin cans when a baby girl is born is hard to explain as it involves a play on words and Bavarian dialect. But I'll give it a try:

“Büchse” is the German word for tin can. The custom of putting up a sign after the birth of a girl designating the father as Büchsenmacher (can maker / gunsmith) and hanging it with old cans has survived into the 21st century and still exists in Lower Bavaria and Upper Austria. Its origins can be found in the Bavarian dialect, which describes a girl as Bix (Büchse), or Bixel. Bix/Can is used here as the unflattering word for the female reproductive organs. The father is being made fun of for not producing anything better than a girl.

I guess it's time for that custom to die out.
