Something for the Weekend - Part 180 - Wheels within wheels

[davescm]

We did have a lot of entries to our previous beach challenge. Everyone must have been in the mood for a day at the beach.

This time I bring you two views of a simple object - a cog wheel. What can you make with it? You can use one or both views. I wonder if the animators amongst you can turn it into a full blown machine!  Show us your creativity!

The “rules”:

* Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to emphasise this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.

To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. I've made the background transparent to save you cutting it out. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun.

Ah yes, one way to make the quickfit fitter quake quicker than ever when you need a new one fitted 😉

[Jacob Bugge]

Surely, this is a wintery way to circumvent the ban on studs and snow chains on tarmac.

[EuanWilliamson]

Indeed @Jacob Bugge @you always need the correct gear for driving 😉

Let's move them a little closer togther for a nice photo of a day at the beach. There! And now take each others' arms, you're friends after all, no? Great!

[EuanWilliamson]

Nice @Monika Gause 

do I spy the new lightroom interlace tool?

[Monika Gause]

I guess you can now de-interlace it 😄

[Trevor.Dennis]

A sort of Mobius-Penrose gear train.

[davescm]

Very nice job Monika. It's like one of those magic tricks where the magician flicks them and they are no longer linked 🙂

Dave

[Monika Gause]

Indeed, Dave. While I buy a package at the penny store and will never ever solve the puzzle.

"Presentation"

(I designed this so that if you stand a little distance away, the subject comes more into view.)

If I half close my eyes I see our snowman again - this time wearing a purple hard hat! That probably says more about me than the image though 🙂

The Cog Thrower. 😀

A new Olympic sport K 🙂  That's a good match with the colouring.

I like that Amybeth. I counted seven uses of the wheel - did I miss any? 🙂

Dave

[jane-e]

I see nine Dave

Jane

[davescm]

I looked again Jane and I had indeed missed two quite small wheels. So nine it is 🙂

Dave

[Jacob Bugge]

Amybeth, Dave, Jane, I see 10.

Or am I just seeing things?

[Amybeth M. ACI G7]

I think 12 there was one on the telescope behind the robot head that would make 12

[davescm]

That's cheating - your original image was cropped 🙂

In this one I see 13 !

Dave

[kphotopage]

So with the UNCROP version, now posted, I agree Dave, I see 13. 😀😀
