rrunnertexas Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 The transmission is out of my Plymouth PJ and on the bench. I have waited and finally received replacent parts, etc. Before the assembly process begins, I made an image of the gears with a J. Lancaster "Extra Special" large format camera from about 1890. Captured on film with a vintage lens these gears look pretty cool, so sharing them here seemed appropriate. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTeee Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Nicely done! That may have to be a screen saver for a bit. Till the next bauble catches my eye. <grin> John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratbailey Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Nice! Reminds me of Paul Strand's machinery photos. Are you contact printing from large negatives? I'm dying to get back into photography, now that I have space in my new place for a darkroom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrunnertexas Posted February 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I do have an 8x10 contact printing frame, paper, chemistry, etc. However, for now scanning the big negatives and sharing digitally is as far as I have gone. The results with these vintage lenses have a "feel" to them, almost 3D, which makes me want to capture more. Hummm, what other car parts would be interesting to see on film? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Buchanan Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Very nice image, the large B/W negative has a unique (in this day and age) quality. Nice job with the split lighting, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 How about cam, some valves and a few tappets thrown in? Might make for a cool subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrunnertexas Posted February 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Keith - great idea! I don't have any engine parts for our flathead 6, however, perhaps an image of a '60s cam, lifters and a valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrunnertexas Posted February 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 6 cylinder distributor and a long forgotten dwell meter, captured on 8x10 film. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
