In all the flurry of leaves, I'd forgotten that the tour guide was waiting for us at the steamship TICONDEROGA So we'll join the group in progress as they're down in the bowels of the ship examining the engine room.

Now THAT's cool. I love old gauges, they really built things back then. Your shot really portrays just how stoutly built this is. Great 'Lil PJ.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
They sure keep those instruments in perfect working order and pristine condition. The clarity of this shot is fantastic.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

this is beautifully clear PJ! very atmospheric and you can imagine them working away in the bowels of the ship! now did you say you had a Canon XTi? ...and what lens do you use because I think I need to upgrade to whatever you have! You have posted some stunning images over the last few days!

Clearly this is a fine steam ship restored, and maintained for the tourist trade. If I see another link to the "Ticonderoga" I'll have to start singing the theme to the last Titanic film, and what a load of historic bull that was too.
Excellent pic PJ

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
Very clear and I like the Shiny Brass versus dark background. This is so clear I can read North River Iron Works, Hoboken, NJ on two of the guages, Fletcher Co., Hoboken, N.J. on clock and sign. Old Blue Eyes would be proud. I know some people that the Crank(?) Indicator would be at full throttle. JK Nice post PJ

Those are proper gauges; big and shiny. I can see in my mind's eye tall, sweaty men with an oily rag in one hand tapping the pressure gauge to see 'If she's up to steam' before they set sail.

Oooh I love this!! It really tells a story, with the copper glowing like that - looks like the furnace is blazing away to power the ship.

The instruments show me that the boilers of S.S. 'Ticonderoga' aren't under pressure, so the ship is not able to sail now, lol. Wonderful image PJ. Regards, Cornelius

now that must have been a very intersting tour. I bet there were great new objects to photograph. I love this shot, the contrast between the warm, shiny brass and the cold, dark background. Just lovely.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
You got a couple things right in this image. The lighting is out of this world - really nice. Also the composition is excellent. The diagonal formed by those lovely gauges leads the eye imperceptably to the dial in the background - not the subject at all, yet maybe it is?

Everything is just right, no under or overexposure and the highlight falls right in the middle of the name. The name plaque recedes and brings the eye to the far wall and another instrument, while the control levers bracket the main object. Perfect compostion. Obviously some folks did a loving restoration job on this boat. I have a picture of a plaque on a metal railroad bridge, also from 1909, but exposed to the weather and many paint jobs to this very day. It would make an interesting contrast next to this.

Why does this image have a mere 69? This is absurd. I am really losing faith in the c-index system. This image is really excellent.
