Flour milling, shot around 1974. The milling machine image was with my8x10 Deardorff snd B&L Protar VIIa. Bothe front and back cells were around 12” FL. Exposure was metered but had to use the wild guess fudge factor and wound up with a 10 minute exposure at f128 or so. Anyway it was stopped all the way down. To show you how imperfections often don’t hurt a lens, the front element looked like someone had put a flat blade screwdriver on the center of the element and tapped it pretty good with a hammer. Honestly I never saw any issues with the images this lens produced and I shot many with it. AnywY I had to shoot from outside through an open window because the old building shook terribly when the machines were running. The film was TXP in HC110 B I think.
Second image was with my Sinar Norma around 1974. Probably shot with an early convertible 210 Symmar. I’m pretty sure the film was a TX film pack.
A small local lumber mill. Shot in the late 90’s with my Sinar Norma 5x7 and 240 G Claron.
Thanks for reviving this thread, FishyFishArcade. Your work and Don's here are outstanding!
Very interesting place. I love the one of the giant bright green tank.

When I was doing commercial work, I photographed industrial and R&D lasers, combines, huge machines used to seperate materials and even chair manufacturing plants. The one thing that opened up that market was having my OSHA-30 certification for safety. Once the client knew that I had my hard hat, steel toed shoes, safety vest, etc. things were much simpler when it came to getting access. One job begat another....
