Crappy VS Snappy Revisited
Here is another edition of my "Crappy Vs Snappy". This is something that is very simple where a company showcases fabrication on a specific machine or part. Most of them will just take a quick shot with their IPhone, Blackberry or Android and use that in their marketing material or website. Something as simple as "lighting" can take that exact same scenario and add some much needed punch to draw attention to part that has been refurbished. The point is, even if it's something that you think a quick "snapshot" will be "good enough" for your marketing materials, website or clients, why not give them something better?

Underground Articulated Forklift
Here is another image from yesterdays underground session with Equipment North www.equipmentnorth.com. “Articulated forklifts are easier to maneuver in small spaces than conventional units, and that’s exactly what you need in mine tunnels,” said Steve Walter, operations manager at Equipment North. “They’re relatively rare, though—especially ones that are small enough to fit in a cage.”Equipment North has a track record of working with customers to adapt equipment for unique work environments. The company regularly outfits forklifts and telehandlers with mining packages, including triple-redundant failsafe hydraulic braking systems, fire suppression systems and fire-resistant wiring."

Sudbury Mining Equipment Rental
Today I was found photographing some heavy equipment at MTI's underground tunnel. Equipment North (www.equipmentnorth.com) who has been supplying quality equipment and professional service to clients around North America wanted a few professional images created of some of their equipment to be used on their website and marketing materials. We decided that it would have a much greater "wow factor" if we could photograph the equipment underground in it's environment rather than outside (where it's cold and windy). Pictured below is the Manitou Miners Forklift MT 8044 XT that Equipment North has modified for underground use.

Open Pit Mining Explosion
Well it wasn't really an explosion but just a small rockslide that caused a huge amount of thick dust around the excavator. I captured the whole sequence that lasted only a brief moment.

Open Pit Mining At Night
The mining industry runs 24/7 and capturing those night images can be a challenge as there is not enough light to stop the movement of vehicles so you have to time it just right.

Hydro Lineman
Here is the image of Jarred that published in the Hydro One Magazine "Between The Lines" with my Post Processing. I wanted a darker, less saturated image with darker edges to bring your eye straight to Jarred.

Lights Camera Action
Now I know this is not a Mining/Industrial Image but I am still involved with a lot of Commercial photography that stems from my mining/industrail clients. I create a lot of images for College Boreal with their trades department but yesteday I was there to photograph some of the new Arts department. I just loved the colors, angles, lines and edges of the new Theater Center there and it reminded me of some of the industrial plants I photographed in the past few years. This Theater is available for rent and is a great place for presentation and events. Drop down screens allow you to present a powerpoint show while having a picture in picture with video of the speaker. I can see a lot of mining/industrial sectors using this theater in the future for events and presentation.

Hydro One Between The Lines
I just received a copy of Hydro One's in house magazine called "Between The Lines". As my previous post stated they were featuring Jarred in this issue and contracted me to photograph the images to accompany the story. If your company or services are being represented in anyform of media, why not get professional images created for a higher impact?
