Mundane Monday - Hinge

My first contribution to the Mundane Challenge. It's hinges this time around. I'd love to say I captured this at some old dilapidated farm house, but sadly it's the gate on the side of my very own house. In the back of my mind I think I was waiting for some cause - like a 365 opportunity.

Now that might be a very interesting gate to go through!

[Babs]

Great close up and love the textures. Better to be hinged than unhinged.

[Elizabeth]

Nice 'n rusty! Mine looked just like that before they were painted!

[Peter]

Lovely idea for the challenge Ron, lots of great detail and textures, must be an old hinge I see it was made in the good old US of A not the Peoples Republic of China, lol:)

[Dave59]

My first challenge too! Must be something about hinges :)

[Rachel]

Good idea to keep those rusty hinges, as they come in handy for times like this!

[Chris Johnson]

Something how we can find some old and rusty things to shoot just around the house. Great idea for a challenge!

[Ron]

@maggiemae It's always an adventure on trash day! One day soon the gate will likely have to ride along to the trash pile.

[Ron]

@onewing Thank you Babs. I think I tend to spend too much time on the unhinged side. :-)

[Ron]

@redy4et You painted all of that beautiful rust?!? Fortunately you have such photographic skills you don't need to fall back on rust as I do. ;-)

[Ron]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. Probably one of the few items around here still made in the USA!

[Ron]

@sketch2 Nice hinge on your part Dave! Can't lose with spider webs. Good luck in the challenge!

[Dave59]

@stray_shooter Thanks Ron! I reckon if someone comes up with a good unhinged shot, it will be a sure winner.

[Ron]

@888rachel Thanks Rachel. I feel vindicated for not having fixed the gate. I'm sure another photo opportunity is waiting there somewhere.

So the lens arrived today. OMG that thing is huge! And heavy! I can't imagine carting around that expensive Sigma at one more kilo! I can't wait to go use it, but with a week's worth of rain, opportunities will be limited.

[Ron]

@cjphoto Thanks Chris. You're my inspiration for "things around the house." ;-)

[Louise & Ken]

Denise? Denise? It's RUST! Nice going Ron! Makes a hinge look less mundane! I like the way you played up the USA part...I think things made here are having a come back...or at least they're heralding the issue (as they should!) Wish I was in Lunenburg...LOTS of cool rusty things to pick from!

[Rachel]

@stray_shooter I think my long lens is the same weight as yours. With the glare guard on the end, it looks so massive! I get so many people looking. I'm thinking of getting a monopod to balance the weight easier. I'd love to know how you go with yours.
