I have mentioned before that the main reason I bought the G11 was for its close focusing ability of only 1cm in macro mode.
A little example here of the end of a gate latch about 2 inches wide.

Very well spotted. this is emerging rust, at a young but promising age.
yes, you have to get close enough. To record important detail like - why is where one bit of blank metal- and to asses different types of rust:
there is the grainy sand type, abit like Chris chin when he saves on razorblades, the apple by type, with big layers peeling of and the slate type ( fine layers.)
Not to forget the different types of rust intruders, like paint 
Had a bit to do with the state department of housing here many years ago, if the screws heads didn't line up they would knock the job back.
nothing escapes your eyes Mik and you always seem to get the shot
Great shot Mick.

PS: loved your comment on my vacuum cleaner upload!!
It's winking at us. Or maybe squinting. The site provides a 
but doesn't provide a squint...

25cm/10 inches approx. on my screen, Mick. I think the G11 is actually an enlarger
Can't hang around to chat this morning. It's p***ing with rain and I have to go out.
You might say I have been galvanised into action, unlike the two screws in this pic that have not been galvanised at all!

Superb image Mick, quite amazing detail, textures and tones.
Hugh
Pretty impressive focussing, well-caught, Mick.
Dave
Think I'm going to have to take a self-portrait, as with all this rain we've had - and especially on the Camera Club outing yesterday, I've gone a bit rusty! Great close-up, Mick, reminds me of two eyes

Great use of the G11 Mick. And it looks to me like a pair of Eyes, one of them winking
The title made me smile too so thanks for that mate.
John
Nice work Mick. Unlike Annette I am unable to make such fine qualitative judgements on rust (she's an engineer for goodness sake and they create the stuff) but I can say that I like it, so much so that I have even found some rusty rocks and photographed them here in Spain!
The detail is excellent Mick - and a well composed shot too.
Helen
Well Mick, if you need to get that close to your subjects then it's a darned good job your genre isn't naked females!
Excellent patina in this one.
Malc
The G11 has done you proud again mate, terrific detail in this one. I bet it also fits in your pocket so you don't have to lug heavy gear around and you can not forget it when you go down the pub!
