I used a 25/1.4, but used probably f/4 to get the smallest gritty detail there is in this motor. Standing really close, the fov gets very short anyway.

I feel myself putting on the 20/1.8 or the 28/1.8 and go near, near, near :) Oh, I can really understand the fascination with motors, and even more so with a motor that is presented like a sculpture.

I'm the most glad one around here. :) Anita, you're so right in that you don't have to be interested in engines to enjoy true craftsmanship like this, and I'm not referring to my photo. :) As Ray wrote in his post on those wooden boats, <a href="http://rlketcham.com/?p=459 rel="nofollow">"it's the details that make it"</a>.

The textures come through with such richness. I don't claim to know anything at all about engines, but I certainly enjoyed looking at your photos. What beautiful detail and lovely depth in these.

The toning is beautiful. I’m glad Paul commented on the toning, because that’s the first thing I noticed (I’m not so much into the engines per se). The toning is beautiful.

Indeed, the Harleys can be seen as a 2/9th of an rotation engine. I was in particular impressed by this particular engine by how the exhaust system was manufactured. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a turbine around the propeller axis. Turbo. As I wrote, not much has happen in hundred years, other in areas like manufacturing precision and economy. Interesting to read that you have experienced these engines while growing up in Alaska. I would love a ride with such an airplane, it must be wonderful to land on water... And thank you, Paul, I worked a bit on those tones, I wanted them to be as lovely as probably this engine sounded. :-) Ray, I though you might be a motorcycle man seeing one of your portraits a while ago.

I like the toning, too. Nice engine port, Ove! :-) It’s my first time seeing this type! I like the toning, too.

Flew in a lot of planes with them growing up in Alaska. As well as all my Harley Davidson Motorcycles engines are based on the same principle. Thanks Ove, I have a real liking for rotary engines.
