When we walked into the Cable Car Museum in San Francisco, I went straight to the workings of the powerhouse that runs the four cable lines in the city. I used a slower shutter speed to catch those 14-foot diameter sheaves in motion while resting my camera on the ledge so the un-moving parts would be sharp. Having an ultra wide lens on a full frame camera comes in handy in these tight spaces and creates an interesting perspective. It was pretty amazing to see the inner workings of the cable car system.
