My tshirt tribute to everyone's favourite Monster Chevy finally came, along with a 1:43 hot wheels version of the beast. LONG LIVE THE DIGGER!!!

I have been taking my camera out for a walk again, which is fun, especially with the wide angle lens I sport.
I came upon this digger near my studio and thought it would make for a nice HDR experiment.
I'm not a great fan of HDR photography, as they always seem to be too much of everything. It's quite a balancing act to creat a nice HDR.
Nevertheless I do like to experiment and try out different styles and techniques, just to keep the edge in my work. So here's my little experiment into the HDR field.
HDR
Handheld
3 Exposure (+2, 0,-2)
Adjusted RAW files in Lightroom and then Tonmappad in Photomatix. Afterwards, the picture is exported back to lightroom and adjusted Exposure 4. Finally, I put on a little extra glow in Elements 9
To most of us, a wasp is an annoying insect that does its best to ruin a picnic. That is the Common Wasp, a social insect that is part of the family Vespidae. However there are three other families of wasp that live in the UK - Potter and Mason wasps; Spider-hunting wasps; and Digger wasps. This is a Digger wasp, of which we have about 110 different species. They are solitary insects, each female making her own nest in the earth, which she stocks with paralysed insects..

ok, i have no business trying to make a storyboard like this......inky????
and i see that color casting is a serious problem here...sigh. will keep working.
I thought I´ve to try something new. So I work with gimp and try to realize a tilt-shift effect. But im not satisfied with the result. Never mind! I load it up!
The picture is an old pic from my archieve (hdri) with the title "Men at work".
Thought I'd treat this (semi?) retired and rusting Priestman excavator to a
3 minute makeover with magenta, yellow and natural LED.
A set of car headlights tried to get in on the act but by the time they
made it to the top of the hill, time was up and the digger
returned to its un-pimped state, just like nothing ever happened.
In the prime of its life, this particular Priestman was one of a pair of
excavators used to build the road to Rhenigidale, North Harris. Until
the road's completion in 1990, the local postman used to walk the scenic
(but treacherous in places) coastal path from the village to Tarbert Post Office three times a week. The path was also used as a route by the Rhenigidale children on their daily journey to the school at Tarbert, a round trip of 10 miles!
The new road to Rhenigidale is 4 miles long and connects with the main
A859, north of Tarbert.

The auger rotates under the boom, then flips down. The outriggers and boom can handle much more weight than this. The auger itself spins freely. The rear stabilizers do not support any weight, but the front ones can handle loads.

This is taken at Evening Hill in Poole Harbour which apart from being a much photographed place because of the sunsets over the harbour, is also a bait diggers paradise. This man was digging for rag worm which he sells for a living. He was digging bait into the night to make the most of the low tide so had to work by the light of a head torch.
digger, fitted out with new gear sent in from Canada! A netted brodie helmet and a custom painted Lee Enfield rifle! Big thanks to Calhigh, a great guy, a great friend, and a great Flickr member and trader, from whom I bought these, plus freebies! Thanks very much for those Morgan. :)
Parsons Trench Digger c.1930: Caterpillar engine, two gear-boxes, one to control the soil conveyors, one either side
(the small black conyeyors that spread the dug soil away from the trench).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This actual machine cost the same as a brand new Rolls Royce
on the showroom floor in 1930, so I'm reliably informed by the proud 82 year old owner! Not much room to move, my back up against the fence, one leg of the tripod through the wire of the fence but the 11-16mm. did the job!

My first digger cake!
It was supposed to be a 2D digger cake as this was all that the customers budget allowed for, but when I set out to do it, I just wanted to do the 3D!!
It's not bad for a first attempt, I know what I would do differently next time though.
Chocolate sponge. Made for a 3 year old somewhere in E11, London!
Must find the picture/artist that inspired me to use the sweets...
A Field Digger Wasp (Mellinus arvensis). This is the first one that I've managed to photograph this year in our Staffordshire garden. I just love that face. Looks really tough!
These wasps hunt Diptera (true flies). They paralyse them with a sting and then use them to provision the brood cells in their nest. It's fascinating to watch them hunting. They gradually approach their prey and at the last moment, leap on them.
The latest MBX Construction five vehicle set is now finally here in the UK via Sainsbury's and one which is evidently a shrine to nasty grey plastic! I don't mind the MBX Backhoe being of generic design as virtually no child can identify properly a real life Digger but does it have to look so cheap and nasty! Ive seen better cheapo Chinese equivalents!
Mint and boxed.
