I Photographed a Metal-Stamping Facility - original photography

in #photography8 years ago

It was fun! They lifted me 30 feet up in a boom or 'cherry-picker' to get a straight-on perspective for the exterior photos. I brought a 15-foot painter's pole inside the factory so I could lift a DSLR camera up to get cool shots inside.

The place was filled with those 10-foot tall robot arms that swing around and move heavy parts, weld stuff together, and just be generally dangerous as hell.

Very nice shots of the whole area.

I like how you made those images look like old-time picture postcards. Are they HDR images? They have so much detail in them and such bright colors. The scale of what's going on in those photos is hard to even process - until I noticed the people. Those are big machines!

Thank you! Yes, I use brackets (and HDR) to get more detail out of the extreme highlights and shadows for most exterior shots and many interiors. Another fun note: The exterior shots also have sky replacements. You can see in the selfie that the sky that day was actually overcast.

You professional photographers, lol! You make the world as you want to see it -- blue sky and everything. ; )
