About Hi All, the other day i set myself a project for the next 6 months, to try and capture the workings of the opencast, right from the maintenance to the extraction of the coal, but rather than capture the run of the mill shot, i will try to capture drama, mood, atmosphere or favourable lighting to enhance the subject. Then i will present my work to my local camera club to see what they think.

Right!, here's away, converted to mono in CS3, this is an RH120 face shovel, which has come in for major repairs, a new boom is to be fitted, this is one big job, which invloved 2 large cranes to remove the boom. Enjoy!

Regards

Ian...

Hi Theophan, much appreciate your kind words, from start to finish about 40-50 mins, some people might say this is to excessive, but im prepared to spend this much time to get it right.

Best Regards

Great point of view and nice treatment. There is nothing like a wide angle lens, B&W and a brooding sky to produce a moody shot. Did you use HDR?

Keep shooting.

Regards Mark

Keith, I really appreciate ya kind words and ya feedback mate, I was really lucky with this series of shots mate, as these machines very rarely get stripped down and with the moody clouds, just a stroke of luck how it all came together. How did ya trip go mate, im looking forward to seeing ya stuff, did you get ya new camera?

Regards

Ian...
