Here is some of my Professional work with Diesel Engines, thanks for looking!

These are my more or less 'RAW files' that are then retouched and cleaned,,,

After seeing this kind of machinery in vitro I can only begin to appreciate how difficult and challenging their depiction really is. The first image is simply amazing. I assume the boughs and their greenery convey a message other than that of presenting an image scale?

It is also evident that optics without any significant longitudinal CA is a godsend in creating the detailed documentation of all the intricate, shining machine parts.

[Erik Lund]

Thanks Bjørn! Yes the green leaves was to convey the environmental aspect of the engines performance.

CA is a major factor when shooting the shiny parts,,,

Beautiful images.
A technology whose perfection is nearing the heights seen at the diesel engine museum in  Lofoten 

[John Geerts]

Great series.  The first one is indeed impressive.  And the others are very crisp and full of detail.

Erik,

You made my day with the images in this topic. Engines with open rocker arms and catwalks for the oilers, wipers and engineers that maintained them were part of my childhood environment.

You have shown a worthwhile subject with clarity and remarkable insight. Thank you.

Erik, these are wonderfully well made pieces and beautifully photographed.

My first real job was the summer after my eighteenth birthday working at the Pratt and Whitney division of United Aircraft making parts for jet engines. I was an oiler on the night-shift and what I saw then and there never looked this good!

Very good and great light

[armando_m]

Outstanding product shots

Really like the detail in the piston groves

[elsa hoffmann]

Wonderful comments - and well deserved. My goodness old boy - clearly you know what you are doing.
I thoroughly enjoyed these images.

[Anirban Halder]

Unbelievably sharp photos. Very very impressive clarity, detail, colors - everything. Thanks for sharing, Erik.

[Jakov Minić]

Ring pack complete is amazing!!!!

[Erik Lund]

Thank You all! Appreciated


The piston ring grooves is also a favorite for me, they are hardened and grinded,,,

[ArendV]

Amazing detail and excellent lighting !
Maybe a typical masculine question but can you say something about diameter of the cilinder and liters, torque & horsepower of the engine  ?

[Erik Lund]

Thank you!


These are big,,, 12 cylinders up to about 90 cm or 35 inch, piston diameter, stroke about 200 cm, 100,000 HP and enough torque,,,
Fully electronic, no camshaft so hydraulically actuated fuel injectors and exhaust valves,,,
