Thanks for all the comments and your votes on this photo. This is an Okuma Vertical Drill. I only had one person comment that the drill may not be moving so I'm happy with that. The drill was rotating at 450 rpms and if you look, you can see that coolant is swirling and slinging from the drill. I never expected to finish this high because of all the 'subjective' whining in the forums.... Thanks!

I think you would have placed higher if more people understood the subject. I did and I definately appreciate how well you stopped the action. Those machines run very fast. If you are ever in my area I'll bet my company would love some photos like this for our brochure and webpage.

Boring can be interpreted more than one way. Bad choice for name of picture. An interesting shot but the observer needs to have knowledge of the machine word to appreciate it. Good stopping of motion both in the coolant and the drill bit. I don't see any chips so the drill might not be actually turning so then it would just be a picture of stopped coolant.

Don't know what it is, but you could have left out the lower half of this photo and had a winner. Its beautiful and you did an excellent job of capturing. Too bad about the bottom.
