RustyPics2021 Photo Competition
As rust-geeks one of our shared interests in life is taking a good old photo of corrosion. You know what I’m talking about, it’s when you’re on a holiday in Paris and you’re holding up your travel companions trying to assess and document the quality of the coating on the Eiffel tower. Or it’s when you can’t help but take a photo on that stroll along the beach where you notice someone has used galvanised bolts to hold down a stainless steel structure (who still does this?!). If this sounds like you, the ACA VIC Branch is excited to invite you to enter our RustyPics2021 Photo Competition! This is your chance to share your most prized corrosion photos. What will yours be? Is there a picture you’ve taken that springs to mind straight away? Rustle it up and submit now!
