This stunning sewing machine cover was made by Rachel (woodenspoon) with gorgeous paper piecing details and sweet little blocks in her signature low volume style....The colours and fabrics used are so gorgeous and I love it !!!
I don't really have a title better than "The Puzzle Machine", so we'll stick with that.
This is a sort-of commissioned project for a guy who gave me two concepts to meld: puzzle, and machine.
"Tamping machine, Barretstown, Co. Kilkenny"
Granted it required a Google search to find even the basics of what a "tamper" does, but am still none-the-wiser as to the purpose of the device that seems to be preceding the engine down the track. Any ideas? And, if our usual "shadow" experts can identify a time of day, perhaps we can establish if that worker's off home for lunch - or his tea...
We are going with Niall McAuley on this one, he suggests Barretstown, Co.Kildare (just outside Newbridge) this suggestion is backed fully by Dr O Mac .
Dr Owen also tells us that the machine is an early 1960's Plasser & Theurer VKR 05-E tamper DX74108. Apparently the tamping tines should vibrate with the ideal frequency of exactly 35 Hz. This directional, linear vibration combined with the non-synchronous tine movement produces a homogeneously compacted ballast bed.

I put 7 huge heads of Garlic into this machine today, and in approximately. In 9-20 days, I should have made black garlic. I have to check them on the 28th to see how they're doing. We love it and eat it like candy. Pretty soon, the whole house will smell like roasting garlic.
As far as I can tell, this seems to have been a room for machining parts for locomotives. There is some heavy duty equipment in here and the placed smelled of old pitch and tar. I loved the lighting in here, all natural - coming through holes in the roof. I also love the curly thing on the right side of the image...to me, it really makes the shot, leading your eye into the image. The place definitely has a lot of character.
Hit "L" to view on black...this is one that helps.

A big machine, possible some kind of dryer, inside the abandoned underground gunpowder factory.
When WW2 started in 1939, Sweden suddenly needed a lot more ammunition than they could produces at AB Bofors. The military build several factories on secret locations. At this location they produced gunpowder from 1940 to 1945. The factory was available for production until 1973 when it was abandoned and left to decay.

This is a late 1800s "Improved Eldridge Rotary" treadle sewing machine. Unfortunately, it was electrified at some point. I haven't tried it but was in use until about 15 years ago.
Well, why not shoot objects from time to time--it is fun, to try to make them look good!
These photos were shot at our University (www.h-ab.de) at the lab of Prof. Volpe, for a publication about PCB prototyping.

STROBIST
Two speedlites, manually adjusted, one on the left side shooting through a diffusor, on on the right side, with a blue gel, shooting against a silver reflector (actually: it was the cover of the diffusor, taped to the wall). The speedlites were triggered via YN-602 RF transmitters. Still my favorite work horses. :-)

PHOTOSHOP
Not that much, the usual cloning and stuff.
For the right one I stacked two shots to get the drill and also the logo sharp.
Why not close the aperture for that purpose?
Because that would need too much flash power and furthermore the lens would be not that sharp anymore (not on the "critical aperture" setting).
Why not zoom out?
Yes, that would give me the DOF I wanted, but the perspective would change (cropping would have been ok, there's plenty of resolution left). I tried that and I did not like the wide-angle perspective.
So I just did two shots with varied focus and aligned these in Photoshop (btw.: Photoshop did a good job regarding the aligment and a bad job regarding the merging, so I did the merging my hand).
