Description

Don't let the airplanes in my gallery fool you. I don't know sh*t about aviation! The other day I was talking to Bill about how much I like these round engines, and somehow it came up in the conversation that they're only round ... they don't GO around! * sigh * I learn new things every day. Still ... I just LOVE round engines. They're so pretty! :D

You don't need to know sh*t to take such stunning shots, in fact it may be a blessing.It's maybe the not knowing that leads you to the less orthodox shots.Whatever the truth of it, I love the results...I also love 'radial' engines, not to be confused with 'radial' tyres which DO go round :-)

My dad worked for an aviation company for most of his life. The company also had a social program in the framework of which we as a family for instance booked our holidays, at the seaside. It didn't last long, but for a while you had a sense of social cohesion, which was nice.

Another wonderful composition; you have such a brilliant eye for showing us the views we never see. And of course that postwork.... :::sigh:::!

Things don't have to make sense to be pretty--if you can call an airplane engine pretty!! It really is, though and that's what makes this so cool!!

Gorgeous reflections indeed! I love that glimmer and the clarity of your image, round or not is fantastic! :) Always a unique and artistically creative way to present your subjects! A dazzling and curious image!

But it does make the prop go 'round! Lovely photo, Tara! You have such a knack for making the most utilitarian things into art! Of course, I love airplanes (well, I'm a guy.... so I love airplanes, guns, cars, girls, gadgets, etc. - not neccesarily in that order...) Beautiful work as always!

You might know sh*t about aviation Tara, but you know how to take a fantastic picture. BTW, I like your reference about ['round' engines, priceless!!!

You may not understand aeronautical engineering, but there's little about composition that you don't understand...! Marvelous photograph, Tara.

LOvely capture. Have you ever heard of rotary engines. See for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine. It appears rotary engines can go around! Their crankshaft is stationary and the cylinders rotate and in that way they differ from this radial engines.
