    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.
    Keep Shooting!

    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.

    A;nd those levers are connected to gears. Looks mechanical to me. Nice shot. I never would have thought of it.

    Re: November project "Mechanical"

    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.

    The Bleriot is a replica, the AH1 Scout is original, as is the DC3 undercarriage bay.
