This picture was shot on a tripod with five exposures (-4..-2..0..+2..+4EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. 1 layer mask to increase color and contrast in the afternoon sky. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. Some dodging and burning to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.
I was just driving home and saw this looong vacant lot suddenly being excavated for a new home construction. Presented in full HDR!

I found this gem while exploring the back roads of rural Wood County in the very heart of Wisconsin - I don’t ever recall seeing a Farmall tractor this old with a backhoe – and it looks like the attachment is about the same vintage as the tractor – the large round objects just above the front wheels appear to be counter-weights. – October 2015 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
Backhoe and a barge in the spring run at Blue Springs State Park. They are repairing bank erosion caused by the introduced Vermiculated Sailfin Catfish. Shot in digital infrared.
Finally forced myself to cover LEGO PF motors with some greebling. The black battery awaits a sticker (and so does the door) but other than that - this part of the model is finished.
What I need now are the new, long and expensive linear actuators to finish the backhoe arm.

One of the backhoes on the pipeline project along Highway 42 between Lafayette and Longmont, Colorado makes a nice frame for Mt. Meeker. Just behind Mt. Meeker is a little piece of Long's Peak, too. Long's Peak is over 14,000 feet above sea level (a 14'er).
Why is the color "medium azure"? The "medium azure" will be the color scheme for my construction theme. It's striking and different.
This model is inspired by the "Fendt tractor" model. Seen it's documentary of fracturing inspires me to build this. This will only fit one Minifigure. The loader and bucket do have articulation. Manage to fix in the hydraulic parts but not as realistic as the real model. I decided to custom build the loader and the bucket as well. It will look better using the pre-made parts for that. For now, I just prefer this look.

Under the cover of clouds, L-CHI104 slowly rolls through Patterson Road in Joliet, IL. The train will work Joliet Yard for about an hour before continuing east towards Hodgkins. The beautiful Whiteface BN SD60M up front has sadly been sent to storage since the uploading of this photo after suffering a severe mechanical failure.
