This image is a stack of four identical images as the exposure time was fairly long and I wanted to counter any noise. The individual frames were shot at 16mm at an aperture of f/10. Exposure times varied between 35s and 30s. Developed from RAW using DxO Optics Pro 11 and post-processed using Affinity Photo. Use of a mirroring filter has transformed an image of my washing machine drum into something akin to a metallic flower. Not my normal sort of thing, but I think I may do more of this, just for fun!

The Roebling Machine Shop is located in Trenton, NJ. One of many buildings owned by John A. Roebling. The building served as the machine shop for Roebling's wire rope.
"The John A. Roebling’s Sons Company, the largest employer in Trenton and a world leader in the construction of suspension bridges had its beginnings when John Roebling started making wire rope in 1841 in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, and moved his factory to Trenton in 1848. His sons built the steel and wire mill and town of Roebling, NJ, in 1905. In 1953, the family sold the Trenton and Roebling plants to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF&I). CF&I closed the Trenton plants in 1973 and the Roebling, NJ, plant in 1974."

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. You can also find me at:
had this machine since 1997 but by 2010 the facsimile feature was hardly used due to the vast improvement of communication technology. yet, i continued to use the machine for its phone feature until it finally broke down yesterday. took a few photos for posterity before placing it in storage
One of the self built analogue testing machines by my father in law Theo, who passed away in April 2020.
I still miss him.
Reconstructed vintage machine shop as seen at the Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan. My understanding is this was a machine shop that constructed and/or repaired boilers for locomotive steam engines. (Don't ask what year - I forgot exactly but somewhere in the mid to late 1800's)
D25998. A closer look at the Enigma coding machine as used by the German military to scramble messages during World War II.
The Enigma machines were so complicated that it was thought that the scrambled secret messages would be completely safe and unreadable if intercepted by the British intelligence service. Unbeknown to the Germans however, British code-breakers working at Bletchley Park, a top secret location in Buckinghamshire, were able to de-code the messages and had developed a machine of their own to help speed up the process.
The top secret location is no longer a secret and Bletchley Park, code named ‘Station X’ during the war, is now open to the public and people can see and learn about the vital work carried out there which hastened the Allied victory and is said the have shortened the war by at least two years.
A visit is highly recommended and more details can be found here:

New Soda Machine Kits!
First true kits with machined sticker sheets from brickbuilderspro!
(that packaging may actually change, we found something better)
Now with an extending stock, longer muzzle and extra capacity clip.
I while ago i came across a steampunk build ( here on flickr ) that had an amazing design for curved wings of sorts, ive used the same design here on the magazine clip.
Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor, Pittsburgh on the corner of 28th & Penn in the upper Strip District
When I looked for info on this machine, I found photos of a machine in a semi-circular design with one unit in front and one on each side, but none with them in a row like this. On the triple machines, each had its own motor so that if one went bad the others would work independently. I also learned that many milkshake aficionados claim these old machines still make the very best milkshakes. I couldn't find exact dates for when a machine like this was made, but other similar ones in this green color came from the 1940s and 50s. Hamilton Beach made its first milkshake makers in 1911, so this store could have had an older model when the store opened in 1923.
Info below from:
www.klavonsicecream.com/history/#our-history {You'll find old photos at the bottom of the page if you flow that link.)
James and Mary Klavon opened Klavon’s in 1923. The shop closed in 1979 and sat dormant for 20 years. In 1999, James and Mary’s eight grandchildren and a cousin teamed up to transform it into a full-service ice cream parlor, conserving the original features.
Klavon's features its original marble countertops, stainless steel fountain equipment, revolving stools that were originally fashioned to look like Coca-Cola bottle caps, and wooden phone booths.
A mark above the phone booths shows how high the floodwaters reached on St. Patrick's Day of 1936. The owners' son, Raymond, was in early to move the basement stock and equipment to the safety of the first floor. Spring thaws generally brought a foot of water into the basement, but that year the waters rose much higher and faster, driving Raymond and his cousins to the top floor. They were rescued the following morning by rowboat and had to exit through the windows above the phone booths that still stand in the parlor today.
In 2011, Jacob and Desiree Hanchar and their children fell in love with Klavon's. Two years later, the couple purchased the shop. In 2015, Jacob took the famous Penn State Ice Cream Course and now makes his own ice cream straight from the Creamery tradition!
By the way, the GPS info on the right is incorrect. It is in the upper Strip District or Lawrenceville which are across the Allegheny River from Troy Hill.
I never get board of this stuff! You think I would after 5 years but I'm still loving it more than ever, and I will continue to do so forever.
I don't know why I like it so much but I am always compelled to do it, and if I don't I get quite bad withdrawul symptoms.
From mine and Phil's trip to our local mini digger graveyard. Had some interesting machinary, i quite liked this one, almost has a face. Was some interesting cloud movement, which ruined my trail so went with the standard light painting with cloud movement. Used a Green to contrast with the Orange sky, and then a Blue in the cab to contrast the Green and the Orange. Works well.
When I was a kid, I used to own a Combattler V DX Chogokin toy. I still remember I deliberately picked Combattler over God Sigma because Combattler is a 5 vehicles combiner. 5 is obviously better than 3, right?
Bandai's SOC line has several Voltes V releases, but I was never interested enough to get one. I was not exactly a fan until I saw GMA's Voltes V Legacy teaser, which is truly impressive and brings back a lot of good memories. I am so looking forward to the actual film release.
After my divorce, I began to build my favorite anime mechs in LEGOs as a mean to balance the stress of single parenting. LEGO IDEAS projects like len_d69's Voltron and anthonyleemwi's God Sigma have been very inspiring. In 2021, I built my own God Sigma, followed by Albegas and Daltanious.
