10th - Screw Loose

Cheltenham, Glos.

I hate DIY...with a passion! Broken pipes? Get a plumber. Car unwell? The local garage is your friend. Scabby paintwork? Mr Painter & Decorator is awaiting your call...etc etc etc. But most blurks have a toolset of some kind lurking in a kitchen cupboard, and (hang-knabit!) I'm no exception. I must grudgingly admit that they do come in handy every now and then for ummm, tightening and errrrr, loosening things....

Mind you, the *real* reason I got the screwdrivers was so I could take arty-farty pics of them :o)

that worn tip seems to reflect the ennui of home repairs...bounteous bokeh here...V

You must do a lot of loosening and unloosening because the tip of this Phillips is worn down! Be careful you don't get carpal tunnel syndrome!! LOL...
Great, close shot!!!!

You can tell you're not a DIY man, this Phillips is in a shocking condition :-) But makes a cracking artsy fartsy pick

Well used or well abused not sure which...but it's a super macro !!

Looks like a snake to me.... I love the macro of this. My screwdrivers look a lot like this. Excellent image, Doug!

Looks a very well used (abused??) tool Doug, but a super macro!

I've resisted the temptation to ask if you have a screw loose? ;))
Great macro shot.

Thought it was asparagus until I took a closer look.

So, guys buy screws (maybe I should word that differently) and women flowers for their macro pics.
Nice work and I like the colours in the background,

Super greeny-blue background - don't go looking at all those little screws on the camera... the temptation might be too much and then bits'll spring out and you'll never get 'em back in... :o)

A tool like that should be handled by a craftsman, you did well - crafty bugga.

If that's Phillips I hope your going to give it back. ;-)

Great super sharp macro with this depth of field and multi-colored background. Looks like the screwdriver has taken a beating. ;-) "V"
