A picture depicting the aftermath of the development. The sand dunes and all its vegetation and habitat are now gone and all that is left are level lots for development. Its a barren scene but hauntingly beautiful in its own way. Poignant even.
The continuing work on the Ocean Reef Marina. I love the colours and the Heavy machinery shapes on this sunny day. The dust and exhaust add to the feel of the situation.
They're making a helluva racket on Richmond St. over the past few months, laying some sort of jumbo plumbing. They dig, lay pipe, put in temporary plates and asphalt, then return in a month to dig it up again and do some other kinda thing. I'm sure there's a method to the madness but when you're trying to listen or talk in a meeting, it can feel like giant sand worms are burrowing through the street - sometimes the whole house shakes! This gear was occupying our usual parking spot one morning.
Loved the way the sunset light hit this backhoe while the skies in the background were still dark and moody from recent rain.

This attaches to my Bobcat track loader. I removed it from an early 1950's Case tractor, then adapted it to the the track loader via a quick attachment plate and two quick release hydraulic hose fittings. There was a section with two hydraulic cylinders, where the attachment plate is now, that raised and lowered the unit when on the tractor. It is not needed now as the loader's lift arms do that job. The triangular frame serves as the base (outrigger) for stability when in use.

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 ©
