Flywheel

Nice study you have going with the old machine. Shows what great control you have over exposure and processing....really nice. Do you plan to mount these together as a series?

A good study of "static motion" in the series. This theme really is working out well. Nice to see the depth and vision, how it relates an old machine to our view of the world. tim

Thanks for your comments, Mike and Tim. I've set the prints out next to each other as I print them to see how they look as a series. What's interesting as I get to the more abstract or detailed compositions is that one loses a sense of scale- one could imagine the mechanisms are a part of a massive factory machine. I'm having fun with this project. All the best, Daniel

This is my favourite of your series. It immediately caught my eye, and is beautiful in the way that's normally only found in industrial images. I can tell it works for me because I'm finding it hard to write this - I keep wanting to scroll back up the page for another look

Your composition, lighting, exposure and printing look excellent to me, but I notice there's a bright dot in the top right corner. Is this a scanning artifact? I hope so, because then for me the photos perfect.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

gorgeous image dlin. really. just spot on. I love the way you chose to frame it. very successful.

Thank you kindly for your comments. Very sharp eye, Ian- you spotted an area that needs spotting on the print, something I hate doing because I'm not very good at it. Fortunately this is in a shadow area and should be easier. All the best, Daniel

Nice composition and very nice toning for this subject, it seems reasonble to think that this is a color pic, but it's not.

Well seen, Well done! I don't see the area you refer to that needs spotting. You might, want to make a work print with a hand full of dust sprinkled over the image,
dump the dust off then process the print. Try everything you have ever read or heard about spotting a print, find the way that works best for you. A sharp dust mark is much tougher to spot than a soft one from a hair or dust on a negative. Simply a bit of practice, and no one will ever know what you have done. Spotting should not be a PIA, but part of the process. I like what you are doing in this series!
