Description
Curtiss JN-4D Jenny from the Flying Heritage Collection
This is a single image, postworked within an inch of its life. No HDR tricks ... just me, not having the sense to stop! :D

This highlights the clatter that the engine must have created with the exposed rockers. Must be a flying lady - the spark plug and lead look quite modern. Great to see the mechanics of a bird! Clive

What a beautiful shot Tara. And I like the postwork too.
awjay
excellent close up work...

OUTSTANDING! You have made it look almost organic!

I know those days - sometimes I spend more time postworking one image than I spent with a camera in hand. This one could maybe use a little time spent burning the background, the vertical element distracts from the rockers, but I rather like the busy little reflections near the front.

At first glance I thought it was a robotic hand of some sort. Excellent pov in this capture. :)

I saw the title and immediately thought "...who can I turn to?" The 80s never die! I had a hard time wrapping my mind around the shot until I banned the song from my head, then it all fell into place. Excellent work!

Very interesting shot and crop. Those things sure did make a lot of noise. Dana

The thing about digital photography is that there is so much room for postwork. I think that's the strength of digital photography. You can definitely capture reality, but you can enhance, and recontextualize it, you can tweak anything to within an inch of its life and still maintain the essence of it. I often wonder if postworking a photo actually makes it more photographic in a way that analog photography just can't touch...not in a way that renders something artificial, but in the exact opposite way...your postworking (for me at least) always seems to strip away expectations and preconceptions and reveals a raw essence. That's why I like postwork. And as for this shot! OOohwee! It's a doozy of a good shot full of all sorts of really neat details. It also reminds me of something I'd see if I were hanging around with a bunch of Nemaeans. That's never a bad thing!

I am trying to work out what it is but to me it looks as though it would make a lovely brooch. You can tell that I am mechanical eh!

Wow...why don't my pics look like this? Absolutely love the postwork. My problem is I look at your pics in WIP status then forget to go back and add all my original ooohhs and aaahs:) Love the positioning and highlighting of the beautiful brass radiator shell and rocker-arms, springs, spark plugs, and insulated ignition wires. This is modern art a'la 1918/2010.

We used to work with that type of spark plug connector albeit a little more to it than depicted here but you learned about the high voltage going through just as you did with electric fences and the tricks that you played on one another and city kids -- all lost on today's tribe.
