Great choice of image for your hommage. Excellent color, composition and detail. With the quality of photos, choice of cameras, lenses, films and processes throughout your portfolio, I'd presume you're more qualified to make any claims on camera choices. I would have personally preferred a DSLR, but I was stretching my budget as it was. My input was for the benefit of us more humble hobbiests. Flawed as it may have been, I thought I'd share my meager experience with some of the cameras I have used or researched. I appreciate those of you who share your more extensive knowledge. I didn't even notice the point about the F8 stop (or other points). Now I am questioning my choice. Unfortunately, I'll have to live with it for now and try to live on good light and composition, or go back with the AE1...
Hmm, which Mondrian I wonder? Whichever, I understand your hommage in its use of line. I'm surprised this hasn't provoked more reaction. It's wonderful. Love the dappled iron textures. And above all the beautiful rust, thin in places, thickly crusted in others. I like your title as well, since this item of machinery looks like it may have been built in the 30s, when the internal combustion engine truly began to shape our world as we know it today, and boogie-woogie was the smoky underside of swing.
