At Atlantic Highlands, NJ, there is a slip where a ferry comes in and this is the metal barrier that was driven into the ground to form the channel. It’s obviously seen a lot of salt water and salt air and has suffered from rust, even thought it’s been painted multiple times. It had rained this morning and there was a nice reflection puddle to work with that day. Olympus E-M1.2. 12-40/2.8

Was roaming around Porterdale, GA, which is an old mill town right outside Covington, GA and there was this pair of garden lopping shears that had gotten rusty and had a spider web on it from an industrious arachnid. I wanted a shallow DOF picture and spent some time crafting the right background for the subject. I didn’t have anything longer than 40mm (80mm FF equivalent) at f/2.8, so this is what I used.
