    November project "Mechanical"
    This can be anything from large machinery to a lever. Please try to emphasize the 'mechanical' aspect of the subject.
    Have fun! Looking forward to all your posts.

    I really like this particular theme. Here's one for now, but will be doing some shooting with this in mind for more posts later.

    Yeah, I'd have said electrical not mechanical.
    Though I suspected a computer cabinet.

    Hmmm. . . OK point conceded, although I'm certain there's something mechanical in there.

    Thanks Terry There was a good breeze out side and the whole system was churning and rattling away impressively . Those big wooden gears make quite a noise when they are working. The flour dust everywhere caused a lot of the shots to look blown out.

    I think your distance is just right as it gives relevance to the machinery and we might not have known it has something to do with fishing boats. I'm guessing some sort of hoist.

    Vancouver has been under construction for a very long time. I guess that is one of the many side-effects of being the "host city" for the next Olympics. However, industrial machines that occupy ripped up "future sites" have been a fascination of mine lately. Here is one of the examples that I have taken over the years.

    I went back out with intent and found a whole trove of mechanical things! :D I am actually always taking pictures of old mechanical things so it was nice to have some purpose behind it. Good project! The month's not over I might find a few more. . .

    I am really impressed that so many of you impressed me with photos of mechanical stuff which is normally not an appealing subject to me. This was a good learninig experience.

    I'm going from memory, but I especially liked the "snowflake" gears, the bearing, the vise and the LCD lit motorcycle. Those clean engines are in stark contrast to my dad's barnful of dirty ol' "junk." (He calls it good stuff!) Here's a few more.
