Something for the Weekend - Part 198 - Spanner in the works!

[davescm]

We had some great images and interpretations of our last Loch Ness challenge. Thanks to all who took part.

This week, rather than a scene, we have a spanner, or wrench for those on the western side of the atlantic ocean.

How creative you can get with this spanner?

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 emphasize 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.

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 and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

It looks good to me Myra, and if the nuts did come loose then you have a spanner ready to refit them 🙂

[Myra Ferguson]

Thanks. I honestly didn't think too much about it other than when my son was little he used to draw a lot of trains, and I think as a result, I associate the shape of a wrench with a connecting rod. 😛

[Jacob Bugge]

Myra, that is the best explanation for an SFTW picture that I have seen.

I apologize for letting my imagination wander into different directions, your picture being completely convincing.

Oh my, I'm so embarassed! I didn't mean to throw a wrench in it! I guess its time to get some readers!

I thought you meant  "SPINNER" must have been the accent! 

Happy Friday Everyone! 
Cheers!

There's something mesmerising about watching that :-). Nice job , Mark.

[mark@headTrix]

Thank you Dave! Glad you like it. Appreciate it! Cheers!

[Trevor.Dennis]

I was going to say the same thing Dave.  Mark, you have the spanner's ring end very well centered.  Niice job.

[mark@headTrix]

Thank you Trevor! Thanks for stopping by to add some kind words! Cheers!

Great pattern. Has a fractal feel to it.

How did you create it?

[davescm]

I like that Chana. It would be interesting to see how you created it.

Dave

[Myra Ferguson]

Do you mean @chanaart ?

[davescm]

I did indeed Myra - I'll correct my post

Dave I think that is one of the Parametric Filters.  I used the rain filter on the Cadbury's drone delivery.  They are about the most useful, but a lot of them are worth a look, and I am hoping we can build our own.  Something like Styles on steroids, or a script/action.  Definitely a cool new feature, but I have to say I was having a problem predicting what Symmetry would do regards my object placement.

the mechanic's view

[Trevor.Dennis]

I am not sure that Elton John ort Dame Edna would be seen in glasses like that.

[ronald pottkaemper]

you're probably right, but perhaps he was inspired by one of them

[davescm]

Just watch - next summer we'll all be wearing them !

Two thousand and (thirty) one

[davescm]

Haha - very good ShiveringCactus!

Oh, I like this a lot!   I thought I recognised the ship as Discovery One, but with a touch of the ISS.  Is that right?  My favourite detail is the flaired lines on the right (is that the front or back of gthe space craft?)

[Randy Hufford]

Time to tighten up!

[davescm]

That must be for measuring 'wrench time', Randy.  🙂
