Great photos Nick, very nice to see the details up close and it looks like a quality piece of kit. I'm sure it will run as good as it looks!
I like your photos and what type of camera did you use?
Great pics of an amazing looking engine Nick !!!
That new phototable certainly is a fine tool, when it comes to shooting clear pictures, in a nice clean undisturbed environment.
...and on an equally important note, did you run it yet...no, let me rephrase that... Where´s the movie?
Thanks!

I use a 6-8 year old Nikon D5100, not the cheapest camera, but far from the expensive ones. The lens I use the most and in these pictures says Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm. For videos I picked up a cheap/used Nikon D3300 body that takes amazingly high quality 1080p60fps, far clearer than my Sony HD camcorder and I already had the lenses from my D5100
I am no professional photographer and far from having Jim's skills. I have tried over and over to teach myself how to use the different functions on my camera but the Auto setting seems to do better
What I have found works for my table and lighting (4 led shop light tubes) is to put the camera on a tripod. Set the wheel to "S" and change it to 3" (seconds). I set the lens to manual focus and focus the best I can. Then I use a remote ($3 on ebay) instead of the shutter button so I don't move the camera. I'm sure a professional can spot many of my mistakes, but at least they are clear (as I can get) and get the job done.
If Jim lived closer, I'd be bothering him both in the machine shop and with photography

The "Steam Table" definitely beats laying down on the kitchen floor to take pictures, since that was the only other room in the house with bright lighting. And I'm glad I made it as big as I did.
I have not yet run the 95G, but there will be a movie when I do
Nick, I must congratulate you on some awesome photos...so perfect, clear and well posed. You have gotten very good at taking pictures my friend.
