With this weekend being Labor Day Weekend here in the US, I thought it only fitting to pay homage to the machinery that makes the workers life a little easier.
Below is a link to how to shoot machinery.

Absolutely love the spinning wheel. The hands of the artisan lends the human aspect to the photo.
Electronics are always interesting. Trying to follow all the leads and components is mind boggling. Unless you're an technician.

I would love to participate in this challenge. If it was allowed I could find many great subjects where I work. It's such an industrial place but alas, cameras are not allowed due to proprietary issues. I've composed shots in my head many a time without a chance of ever snapping the shutter.

These are three very different workplaces using dramatically different machines which greatly reduce the physical labor that these jobs demanded 30 years earlier.

Technical info: Brooks-Plaubel Veriwide 100 rollfilm camera, Schneider Super-Angulon 47mm f/8 lens, Ektachrome film

Manufacturing plastic film at 3M - 1972

Battery charging for fork-lift trucks - 1968

Computerized power transmission control center for electric company - 1976

....Have a happy and safe Labor Day!

Spent Saturday night in a very unique work place enjoying the very talented labors of those performing the work. First of all who would be working on a Saturday night....

...and who want to work in a place without a name?

Long time was taken to build this formation, but that's not what we're here for.

The workers are warming up to the task.

Thier labors were appreciated by many in a very unique work enviornment.

Walt please feel free to join us, we would love to see your work. There are machines all around us. Almost every aspect of our lives contain some type of machine or another. Grab a camera, and look around you, it doesn't have to come from your work place. It can be any workplace.

Richard you have such a divers collection of great photos. The 3M roll plastic in your first photo has revolutionized the applications of Safety glass. That being said, it is used widely to laminate 2 pieces of glass together. Making that laminated unit safe for cars, and very large windows such as store front windows. The roll machine makes that laminating process much easier to handle and lay out on very large sheet of glass.
The computer room is a very important part of our daily lives. Computers are what connect all of us here at UHH.
That sure makes it easier to communicate and share information.
Even the camera that took these photos can be classified as a work machine.
Thanks for sharing.

I've always been fascinated with machinery.

Yes, Larry that is quite a unique way to spend a Saturday night with laborers. I'll bet the acoustics were simply amazing. Very cool no name work place.

Good shots...as a tool and die maker, I have run all those machines!
