Tim (Frogger) @tdaug80 challenged me to make a photo featuring rust. I have been extremely busy the last couple of weeks with little time to devote to my passion. As a matter of fact, I have been unable to do the last couple of gp challenges. But, I actually got this week’s challenge done and posted in time, but I guess I was too late. Better luck next time, I guess!
But, here is the response to your challenge, Tim. It was good to get out to the fresh air at the driveshed and spend some time there once again! I actually took other rusty photos – shovel with no handle, barb wire, and the hanger for the door but I liked this one the best.
shame you were late - I really like this - I only posted mine this morning and have another to post too - As we all know I am often a bit late hahaha - I am not a fan of hosts choosing the finalist by the number of fav's so I think I will skip voting this time :)
I got this idea from a speaker at my local camera club. She and her husband wrote a book on photographing deterioration or something like that. I don't remember her name, though, or the title of the book. I thought it was a good challenge for you with the old drive shed. I was sure that you could find something rusty that would make an interesting picture, and you did.

Oops - so sorry! I completely forgot! Will sit down this evening and do that.
Thank you for the reminder ... it usually is not like me to forget.
Hello, terrific photo with the textures and bent nail.
A question about the Mundane challenge if you can assist please?
Do I choose the winner or does it go to a vote?
( I am unable to find the original post you notified me in.) Thankyou.

You have the honour of hosting the vote, Jenfurj
The process of creating a voting discussion is quite easy actually and just involves much copy and pasting to a Word Document of some sort.
First, choose your finalists – can be 4, 5, or 6 – there is no rule as to how many or few you choose. Your challenge, your rules! I do try to comment on everyone’s entry while choosing the finalists but if you do not have the time, so be it. Again, your challenge, your rules.
As for choosing finalists, you can use any criteria you wish. Technically, ascetically, first timers you want to encourage, anything goes. You can mention why you chose it, but most people do not.
Once you have selected your finalists, open a word doc that you want to copy and paste to, click on your first finalist (can be in any order you so choose), type out their name and @name, open the embed code by clicking on the right arrow found to the right of the FAV’s star. Copy the whole embed code – it is long! – and paste below the name and @name on your word doc.
Repeat for all finalists. Do not forget to put numbers in front of their names for ease of voting. (and I have on occasion until someone mentions it during voting)
You can add a bit of introduction at the beginning of your word doc thanking everyone, and mentioning when voting ends, etc.
Now, go to Discuss under the task bar on top, click on it, click on Themes and Discussions, and open a New Topic on the top of the page.
Copy your whole word document and insert onto the New Topic, title the page, and click done (at least I think it says done).
Don’t worry if you have messed up because you can go back and edit anything in your new topic except the title (so don’t mess up the title – lol!)
Then – sit back and relax. Tally the votes when it is over, and announce the new winner. Tah-dah!! Yer dun!
@farmreporter thanks so much for such an informative answer. As I'm limited on time this evening I'll do out tomorrow evening. Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated m
@adi314
Thank you for checking in on me.
I am the spare bus driver for Campeau and they have been keeping me EXTREMELY busy these last couple of weeks. As a matter of fact, they had me do a charter into Ottawa last week because they are so short of drivers everywhere.
So - no time for photos. Next week looks better (so far)
@farmreporter I'm glad everyone is good maybe we can make some time to meet up when things slow down at your end. Mind you all I could do are evenings and weekends.
Hi Wendy, I hope you have to do the challenge. I like you to make a B&W photo with in it repeating lines or subjects. Have fun.
Thank you for mine challenge.
