After the delays and cancellations caused by Covid it was good to meet up with John and other friends at the show.

As a kid I played in the dirt with toy trucks so how could I pass this going on? Man, they moved a lotta dirt!

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
Some of the heavy equipment that use to be used with the ferries is just rotting - would think it could at least be sold for scrap.

A pair of GE 90 Class Locomotives and their work extra await the call to duty, just north of the White Pass Shops on a cool afternoon in April.
Every spring, this railroad wakes up after a long winter sleep and prepares for the upcoming tourist season. Most years, work trains like this one make the journey up the hill toward White Pass, until they encounter the deep snow-pack, which has accumulated since the line shut down the previous September. There, the work trains discharge their cargo, consisting of Caterpillar Bulldozers and other heavy equipment, such as the Hitachi Backhoe you can see on the flat car in the distance. The trains also bring up supplies of diesel fuel in tank cars such as the one seen here. The heavy construction equipment will clear away the snow, which is often 15-20 feet deep in places, opening the line in a matter of days. The work they do was formerly handled by rotary plows, but these days, the bulldozers can do it with far fewer personnel and at much lower cost.
On Sunday evening I set out to take some late afternoon/sunset shots. As I was driving back from the spot where I had just shot 300+ HDR source images, I spotted this shiny dumptruck by the side of the road. Shooting this allowed me to put the versatility of my tripod to good use -- I had to adjust one leg out so that I could get a lower angle for the shot. So yes, like a fool I was on the asphalt in a very contorted position trying to get a shot. I have to say that I'm very careful when I shoot while crouching/lying down on the asphalt. I'm hoping being careful (and perhaps lucky) allows me to get good shots without getting run over. This is a blend of seven source images. Here's the process:
My recipe for this shot:
1. I started with 7 source images, which I processed in Photomatix Pro and exported to a 16-bit TIFF file.
2. I imported the TIFF into Lightroom and basically just did spot removal and lightly reduced the noise before exporting it to JPEG.
3. Next I opened the JPEG in Photoshop and used the Unsharp Mask filter, which brought out some of the detail in the grill of the truck really nicely. After that, I added my border and logo and voila' it was ready for upload!
4. I sat on the file for about 18 hours and looked at it a few times before deciding to post it. I've been doing this more and more with images that have heavy HDR characteristics.
I realized early on that once I've been working on an image for some time, I am too invested to be objective about whether it's good, bad, too HDR-heavy or not enough. Revisiting images with a fresh eye is my reality check. It's been working pretty well too.
In case you're interested, this photo was also uploaded to 500px, where it has been much more successful than I expected (images I upload over there seem to be hit or miss). This was definitely a hit, which was a nice but unexpected surprise.
Thanks for your visit, and for any comments, critique and favorites. Please feel free to add notes to any of my images.

Ainscough Liebherr LG1550 de-rigging after lifting bridge beams for the Gairnshiel Bridge replacement near to Ballater, Aberdeenshire a few weeks back.
Previous Photo of this crane: flic.kr/p/TuBxrM from when it was working on the AWPR back in 2017 got a much better view this time!
…Yard engine of sorts. Located on the edge of an old auto salvage company, withering away in the woods.
An old CAT in need of care. Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The 977K crawler loader was only made from 1966 to 1971. There are very few photos of them on Flickr.

===========================================
Picture taken with a Leica M3, made in 1963; Elmar f2.8 / 50mm; Ilford HP5 developed in HC110.
In the grounds of the former Poble Sec power plant, in the Paral·lel avenue, Barcelona, this heavy machinery equipment stands. In the middle of the park.
Another old machinery sitting in one of the many workshops in Cockatoo Island. I just feel like processing some HDR photos recently so I thought of sharing this as well.
Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is a former imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and gaol. Before the arrival of Europeans, Cockatoo Island was undoubtedly used by the Aboriginal tribes of Sydney's coastal region. In 1839 it was chosen as the site of a new penal establishment by the Governor of the colony of New South Wales. Between 1839 and 1869 the island was used as a convict prison. - Wikipedia
I always dump my trucks at McNutt's. Today I was amazed to see an excavator on top of a huge dirt pile. I have no idea how someone could have driven it up there and it looked pretty scary. There's no way I'd operate that thing up on that dirt pile. I had to take some photos. I hope everyone has a great night. 😃
Way off in the distance, a heavy haul truck dumps waste rock onto the mountain that sits next to the Thunderbird mine outside Eveleth, Minnesota. Below them, NSHX 115 sits next to additional equipment as it awaits its next call to duty. Originally built as Chicago Great Western GP7 number 120, this GP9 has changed hands enough to send it from the plains of Iowa to the mountains of Montana before getting to a spot somewhere in-between the two.

Along with the park's heavy equipment, this boat lives at Mott Island, the park's headquarters. However, there was a lot of construction going on this summer - the park's season is only three months long - so this landing craft had to deliver another bulldozer.
Getting heavy equipment from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Mott Island is probably also an adventure.
Took my camera along to this NJ Drone Users Group meetup in Kearny, NJ. When I was done flying it was time for some photography. Such a cool place to shoot if you’re into rusty & crusty.

Catalina Station - University of Arizona Observatories. Operated by Steward Observatory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Station
When I was there, it was tough to get an unobstructed photo of the 61" Kuiper telescope observatory because there were so many heavy equipment vehicles around it, including 3 snowcats that are on vacation during the summer. So I decided to incorporate this front-end loader into the shot. :-)
CAVEAT: The two observatories at the Catalina Station are NOT open to the public. I was able to take a few photographs there only because I had the good fortune to encounter a man who works there while I was walking nearby, and he OK'ed my being on the premises for that purpose. I assured him I was not part of the criminal element [but he had already realized that :-) ]
