Matt Laur Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! Special thanks to Shun for starting this thread up last week, as I was hip deep on location with a client for a few days of shooting obscure hardware that only they and their few customers can truly appreciate. Here's an example, which I'm hoping will be joined by a Nikon Wednesday full of everyone else's own obscurities. Share some photos! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Matt, actually thank you for starting this thread week after week. However, your image puzzles me. I am not sure what I am looking at. Well, here are a couple of images where the subject matter should be a bit clearer. Both images: Nikon D500 with 500mm PF lens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_halliwell Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 However, your image puzzles me. I am not sure what I am looking at. Due to it's greenish colouring, I think it's a.. "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" type item....:p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Speaking of obscure hardware, here's one that stumps many people. An elegant bit of design, it mystified me until I moved years ago and looked up at my barn. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Here's another. Australians and New Zealanders will likely know this bit of elegant 19th century engineering. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 What are those? I should probably wait a while for some more guesses, but..... The first is a hand anvil for forming the ends and bends of steel eaves gutters. It was given to me long ago by a sculptor friend who also did not know what it was, but thought it a nice shape. It remained a mystery until I bought a place with a barn and saw this: The second is the constant velocity universal joint from a sheep shearing machine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Schaefer Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I should probably wait a while for some more guesses, but.... Thanks Matthew - never would have guessed the first one (even though at my father's workplace) there had been a forge with all kinds of weirdly shaped tools. I was thinking about sheep shearing with regards to the second item - but only because you mentioned Australians and New Zealanders, not because I recognized the device. Still wondering what Matt's mysterious device is. Looks like some kind of helmet display system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wchen Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge last Sunday evening. It was chilly (about minus 8C) and windy that made my fingers ache and clumsy even with gloves on. Only a few people were there having some chill fun. With Nikon D7200 and 28mm f2 AI lens. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
