This was shot at Hillcrest Orchards near Blairsville, GA. with the Canon Powershot G15 on automatic. The boy seemed perturbed that the tractor was not moving and was trying to will it to move. I liked the bright color combinations and its antique look.
This was a very tall crane at the Waterfront Park next to Charleston Harbor. I was standing below it so was only focusing on the top part that the lens was able to fit in. There was a driver inside the cab and seemed to be finishing the work. He had just swung the hook into the tower/mast. There were bright colors and an abundance of machinery parts to this tower crane - looked quite new. The photo was shot with a Nikon D5600 using a 300 mm lens at 70mm. Camera was on automatic.
The 50 cal machine gun positions manned by the waist gunners of the World War II era B17. This particular aircraft is one of the few B17s still flight worthy.
here are six simple machines in physics. They are; lever, wheel and axle, pulley, wedge, inclined plane and screw. My wife says she used to teach this information in third grade curriculum. I picked the pulley for my machinery subject. This is an image of a group of pulleys used in sailing to control the mainsail of a sailboat. They are commonly referred to simply as blocks. I shot this outdoors but in a shadow. I used a large whiteboard as a reflector to light the subject.
Bicycles are human powered machines, and I felt they would fit the theme. The challenge was to show the mechanism that powers the bicycle in an interesting way. A white board was used as a background. The shadow of the sprocket and pedal made for a unique perspective. This was shot in full sunlight.
