Here are some detail shots of a lathe engine that was outside at the Redstone Quarry. If it weren't for the snow, the shots would be merely documentary, but the snow makes them art.
A funny story about shooting these. I decided to experiment with using the snow and beach program setting and shooting jpegs besides the raw files. After tweaking both of these in LR a bit I compared them to what the Olympus jpeg engine produced. So identical you couldn't tell them apart without pixel peeping. Wow. I was impressed. With the snow/beach setting, not so much. Exposure wise it's pretty dead on, but the white balance (in raw) was off and continuous auto focus drove me nutty. Eventually I took it off that and just went with Aperture Priority and +1 stop EV. I shot that way the rest of the day and found it somewhat freeing.
