Playing with a wide angle fisheye to achieve a close encounter with this engine.
The train graveyard yielded some beautiful images for me. More to come.
What a beautiful piece of machinery! All motorbike enthusiasts will recognise this as twin cylinder 998cc Vincent engine, probably dating from around the late 1940s. I spotted the bike in Looe, but it had a couple of seriously ugly metal pannier boxes on the back, so I decided not to photograph the whole of it. I suspect it could be a B series Rapide, dating from 1946 onwards. The HRD name was apparently dropped in 1950 to avoid confusion with the American Harley Davidson (HD).

I was messing around trying to build an engine to go into a new MOC for this months LUGNuts challenge, and I decided to pull out all my MOC engines to have a look at them together. All in all they're pretty much similar, yet all done differently. I sure like that jet blade piece! None of them are based on anything real, some of them have their exhaust pipes removed, and two of them haven't been used yet.

My plane had part of the engine cowling from an old livery Air Canada CFN56-5A5 engine... It's a bit difficult to see in the picture but the newer polar blue is very much more metallic than the plane old white. Up close it looks spectacularly different. Away from you you don't get the effect as much. I Prefer the metallic look although I'm still not crazy about the polar blue.

Taken in Elsecar, Yorkshire. My hubby had a steam engine 'footplate' driving experience and this was his instructor. Monochrome and a little extra grain to achieve a vintage feel.
