The rules are as follows:

  • Entries will accepted until 11:59pm (GMT) Wednesday 28th August
  • Each competition's voting will last for one week. The winner of that round will choose the next theme.
  • All entries must have been taken within the last 6 months and preferably after the announcement of the theme.
  • Entries must be posted as a thumbnail no larger than 700px on the longest edge. Full sized images may be as larger as you'd like.*
  • You must submit only your own photographs, do not post anyone else's work.
  • Only one photograph per person, marked with Final Entry. You can change your entry, but must remove your current entry first and clearly state that you have posted a new entry.
  • You must not vote for your own photograph when the Poll is up. Only vote for a photograph taken by another entrant.
  • The photograph must be submitted with the following information: Subject, Date and Camera used and, if you'd like, the major camera settings - shutter speed, ISO, etc.

*While full sized images may be as larger as you'd like, you should try to limit them to approximately 1200px to enable viewing the entire image without scrolling. It's much easier to see the full effect of the shot when you can view it all at once and not have to pan.

Current theme, chosen by Week #29 winner Casey_2005

The theme is as simple as that, so I am guessing any depiction of metal will pass.
 
Edit: On second thoughts, no. I know that's a metal band, but it doesn't exactly come across in the picture.

Now that I've got my cars semi-roadworthy I need to take a trip out there, lots of good photo opportunities and just a cool place in general to be.

Indeed. It was almost 80F when were there at midnight. Another shot looking towards the river. I usually spend a couple hours there when coming back at night, just a chill place to reflect on things.
 
Next time I win I'm letting someone else choose a theme. :lol:

Final Entry



You Knob
8/24/13
Nikon D200, Nikon 35mm f1.4, Flash of sorts
1/250th, ISO 100, f1.4 I think
 
Another Knob of a different sort. Heavily cropped though, but its metal.

Final Entry



2013-03-27
Nikon D-300
Nikon 17-55 f2.8
1/30 sec
f2.8
ISO 1600​
 
Such a broad theme and only 3 entries so far, bummer. 👎

I simply can't think of anything fancy to take a photo of, I have to admit. Alas...why not use one I shot back in July.

FINAL ENTRY



Camera: Nikon D5100
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX 35mm 1.8G
Settings: 1/640sec ƒ/2.8 ISO100
 

That's what came to my mind :)

Final Entry


06.06.2013
Sony A77 - SAL 16-50 2.8
50mm - f/2.8 - ISO 50 - 1/2500
 
Indeed. I feel mine isn't nearly as clearly on theme...

PS - the Horses are metal sculptures.
 
I like yours because I know the horse sculptures are metal but more so because it makes me wonder about all the metal in those stars. I bet that plane or satellite is also made of metal! Perhaps not as clearly on theme but it certainly add some to the imagination.
