Exploration drillers had their drill rig setup on the side of a mountain just on the outskirts on Chihuahua Mexico. These two ment business but I managed to grab a few minutes of their time to create this image for the company.

Mining Maniac | Mine Photographer
I believe I took this image somewhere in Utah (It was somewhere in the States) years ago. I remember finishing the actual image we needed for the project and while taking a break I asked “Miner Moe” to make a crazy face like he was playing an Xbox, because the controls he was using was controlling some heavy equipment, it reminded me of a video game. Sometimes you just got too let them have fun. He loved the image!

0 Comment / March 29, 2012
Core Shacks are relatively small, and sometimes it's hard to get a great shot while inside as using a wide angle lense can really distort the edges of the frame. Climbing on top of the core shack and photographing from the outside in is better perspective to show the core shack and the drill.
