		from fritzsolms/Fritz (6,704) on May 23, 2012 3:03:53 AM CDT (3) An excellent industrial photo (and there are few of those on photosig), Doug. I would have given it 3TU, but I think the composition could still be improved by putting the wheel assembly dead-center in the photo and have the surrounding (ladder, pipes, cement bag, ...) break the symmetry.

		from mocando/Martin (1,259) on May 22, 2012 2:32:32 PM CDT (3) Awesome image. So sharp and detailed. I'm definitively seriously thinking about the Samyang 7.5 for my Panny G3. Looks like a very sweet lens. Great job on the photo merge. The only thing I would have tried is, on this kind of images, I think going against the rules and putting the main subject dead center works better. And I think is because that way, fisheye distorsion would be equivalent throught the length of the subject.

A man and his son walked in on the right and rather than try and clone them out, I just opted to crop them out. For the price, its a great lens. I don't even focus - set the focus ring slightly under infinity, aperture at 5.6 and forget it. Everything from 24 inches to infinity is sharp. I use it a lot more than I thought I would.

This dirty dingy shop just seemed to be begging for a B&W. Cheers Reply

The disortion is a matter of taste, the view is made in a fine composition. Very special picture.

Some rail transit cars now can have wheels ground while wheel assemblies remain installed on the vehicle. Previously, wheel assemblies had to be removed and ground similarly to the wheel assembly shown. I like your image and editing, Doug.

Nothing modern here - including the locomotives. The gritty, detailed. grunge processing seemed to go well with the dark insides of the shop. Thanks for the critique. :-) Reply
