Multiple spanners.

Keeping going with my toolbox project again today with this shot of some combination wrenches (spanners).

I am enjoying this mini project in my 365 project because it is encouraging me to take everyday object and try to make them as photogenic as possible. I love black and white photos which is another plus to this project.

I shot this in manual mode with an aperture of f/3.6 for 1/6sec. I used a torch to light the shot from the right hand side in line with the jaws of the spanners to create the shadows on the jaws.

A homage to the toolbox, although I'm not very mechanically mined. The toolbox belongs to a good friend who is very mechanically-minded

"Toolbox"

Here is a little peek into my sewing "toolbox" that holds all sorts of goodies for making things.

These tools and horseshoes are actually made of chocolate!

"Toolbox" was commissioned by the Morundah Bush Entertainment Committee (MBEC), The Morundah Town Improvement Committee (MTIC), and individual members of the Morundah community to commemorate 100 years of both registered and bush picnic horse racing in Morundah.

"Toolbox" was placed here in 2009.

Sculptured by local artist Andrew Whitehead of Urana, this is his first commission piece.

Officially opened by Life Member and President of the MBEC Peter Trengrove on the 28th February 2010.

This one shot a day is getting to be more and more challenging. This is my wife's box of pastels, and I'm not quite happy with the shot.

You never know what you find inside.

Bought in Arcadia between the years 1995-1999. Not sure on how old it is

Tools for the boys.

In a small shipyard in Løgstør, I spotted this wonderful old toolbox.

My head is still spinning from working through David Duchemin 's 60 lessons book. Unfortunately, it looks like that there is no shortcut for being able to make continuously compelling photographs. So, I scaled down my expectations and accepted that this process will be a lifelong journey. In the meantime, I even see this positive, as making photographs will never become boring due to the endless opportunities which you can discover everywhere.

Pragmatically, I structured now David's lessons in GREEN (feel quite comfortable), YELLOW (got an idea what to do) and RED (have hardly any clue, need to dig in deeper). So, don't be surprised I'll share with you my learning curve/experiences in the months to come. And as always, I highly appreciate your constructive discussions/questions about intent, composition, light, moments, improvements and the message of the photograph.

Have a wonderful day and never lose your curiosity about photography.

I've wanted to do one of these for a while. All fondant tools and fondant covered woodgrain board.

OK, surely someone would have wanted this toolbox as a Christmas gift back in 2013! With this trip back in time to that year now drawing to a close, here's another link for you: a photo of this Sears in it's post-glory days, taken at the end of January 2013. Who knew* that it would be closed for good by the end of that same year?

*Well actually, a large majority of people in this area kind of had a sneaking suspicion that this Sears wasn't really going to last much longer!

Experiments require not just scientists and engineers with vision but also countless construction workers, tradespeople, mechanics and technicians whose hard, and often unacknowledged work brings these visions to reality, such as the Short Baseline Near Detector at Fermilab.
