I'm hosting two different competitions right now, Macro-Lock and Technique-Photoelasticity. I thought it'd be fun to try something that would work for both competitions, even though I'm not eligible to win either of them.
This is a clear practice lock to help you learn how to pick. I am able to pick it, but I'm very slow at it.
I started my photo-a-day project on September 6th, 2004 on livejournal, transferred it here around 2011. All photos were taken on the day they're posted...
I really like the simplicity here...where in the world did you ever find a clear plastic lock???? And learning to pick it...what an interesting endeavor!
@granagringa - There's lot of different kinds of clear locks on amazon and ebay. Picking is a lot of fun, but I'm not all that good at it. One of my favorite youtube channels is 'lockpickinglawyer', if you want to see how quick a good lock picker can get through a lock.
Nice photo too to advertise your challenges
