This shot shows a 200 Kilowatt Dynamo from the Edison General Electric Schenectady Works. This machine is on permanent display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The Henry Ford Museum has a wonderful collection of historical artifacts but I’m particularly drawn to the large generators they have on display. The size, color and design of these machines is truly impressive.
Processing was fairly minimal. I used Lightroom to adjust the exposure and used the Topaz Adjust Filter in Photoshop to add just a bit of additional sharpness and clarity to the image.
