Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's 160th Barnack's Monthly theme, which was filled with about 1,500 pictures, excellent ideas and interpretations of the theme.   Also, thank you to everyone who helped to make it another successful month by generously posting their pictures and in particular to those people who posted for the first time - I hope you found it an interesting and rewarding experience and I hope it encourages you to share more of your pictures with us!  

The 161st Barnack's Monthly theme for February 2022 is:

 Metal

This month's theme is any picture that contains something made of metal.

For example, it could be Sodium, Mercury, Tin, Lead, Lithium, Copper, Zinc, Beryllium, Magnesium, Potassium, Titanium, Iron, Chromium, Vanadium, Aluminium, Gallium, Gold, Silver, Calcium, a hammer head, studs in a camera strap, steel toe caps, a car bonnet, a crane, wire, sheet metal, a railway line, a telephone line, a plimsol line, a power line, an oil pipeline, a weld, a magnet, a chainlink fence, a chickenwire fence, a barbed wire fence, a razor wire fence, a razor, a Taser wire, BB King's guitar strings, a saxophone, a sousaphone, a cornet, a trumpet, a trombone, a piccolo, a flute, a chute, a chisel, a tin whistle, a banjo, a bandsaw, a fretsaw, a tenon saw, a cross saw, a chainsaw, chainmail, a mailbox, a mail truck, a toecap, a tow truck, a steel tow rope, a hawser, a coat hook, a saucepan, a frying pan, fencing wire, a fencing épée, a sabre, a sword, a scimitar, a bronze sword, a broadsword, a Claymore, sword, a Claymore landmine, a grenade, a tractor, a back-actor, a thresher, a manhole cover, a West Indian metal band, a metal band on an oil drum, an ocean liner's hull, iron filings, white-hot steel, red-hot steel, 'the old cold steel'  - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free!   

It would be a big help if you give your picture a title so to help us understand your point of view. Members have asked if we'd very kindly name the camera and lens used because it's interesting to know.

The rules are deliberately loose so go out and shoot with this month's theme in mind or start searching back through those pictures you took oh-so long ago that you'd forgotten about and start posting! It doesn't have to be your best ever shot and it's not a competition so you might surprise the rest of us and yourself - it's just about sharing some pictures, seeing others' take on the topic, and enjoying it!

Everybody's welcome to contribute, any interpretation, any number of posts, pictures that have been posted on the forum before, any equipment as long as it and the photo complies with the forum's rules of either camera or lens or both made by Leica. Please post freely - especially newcomers and please remember there's no judging or criticism (good or bad) in this threadSo, if you'd like to show your acknowledgement or appreciation that someone has posted their picture then instead of posting a comment please use the "Thanks" button that you can find at the bottom right of every post.

Please post away and I look forward to seeing your interesting interpretations of this month's theme.

Note: Moderator Pop has very kindly assembled links to all of the past Barnack's Monthly threads as a single archive that can be found here: Barnack's Monthly Index.  Thank you, Pop!

Isn’t it amazing that this engineering marvel is slightly younger than some passionate members on this forum? 😌
