Gears don't you love the Hasselblad with the 50mm I sure do. Ok so great exposure I wish it was more focus on just the gears. Cutting out all the background on the right.

Many of my best images are w/ the humble, single coated 50. Some of the inclusion of the right is to show what the worm gear does - turning the shaft that pulls the chain that steers. I have some fixation with how crude & similar it was to the soapbox racer.
You might like the earlier posting of PanF & gears -

Thank You, Peter. I do love mechanical stuff. More pedestrian subjects, but fun will be this weekend's car show in Woodland, WA. I have a composition done on an electric cam that I want in PanF or Portra 160 of a 57 chev.

Wow, that thing is ready to roll! Beautiful shot. You sure are able to find rare angles to go at old mechanical equipment.

Great tonal range again Mr Silver, the angle of the large gears give it real presence.
Maybe a little burning in in and around the window, so not quite so bright.

Hah! The full size image shows about 6 places the grease is dripping off the gear. The honorable rmann had a stunning shot of grease coating a train valve that really conveyed the work & the grime.

Hmmm -- nice juicy shot! "No rust for the weary!"
Definitely a nice angle on the shot.
