3 days to design a rear narrow bucket and this is the best i could muster, why isnt there one TLG???
I know! It looks fake!
But it isn't - well sorta. The lighting shot - i.e. everything but the sky is exactly as it came out of the camera. It naturally has that high contrast and clarity. The sky is a stack of approx 45 30 second exposures which I have composited in. I could have easily created this shot in camera, but I choose to stack for reliability, how much better the stars look and for speed - I can shoot a lot more subjects this way then spend more time on the computer afterwards. So basically I'm now stacking all my star trails so I can spend more time shooting on location, rather than having to retake a 20 minute shot cause I messed up the lighting.
This was shot with a 15mm fisheye at f5.6 ISO200 and lit with 3 flashguns and a maglite. There was a slaved flash inside the cabin which was triggered by myself when flashing the subject. Mr Phil Daintith added a little more purple from behind the digger and flashed some more of the background natural. I then lit the yellow parts of it with a maglite.
Expect a lot more from this place.

Usually, I plan my builds a long time in advance, but every once in a while, I build something on a whim. This is one of those times. I very much enjoyed building my tractors and felt like building something similar. I'll also be attending a show for models of cranes, heavy haulage and earth moving equipment in March. Hence, this JCB backhoe loader.
