What’s the Buzz.
Recently I had the opportunity to see Matt Mackinnon of Unmanned Aerial Services Inc and his drones in action while I created some images for UAS. I was blown away with the Laser CMS Mapping and the speed it rendered preliminary results. The places and speed these drones can get into is very impressive.

I recently photographed the MineMaster Electric RTV Underground Electric Personnel Carrier (www.minemaster.com) at the Tracks & Wheels facility here in Sudbury, Ontario. Hopefully next up will be to capture this unit in it’s underground environment.

Open pit morning. The sun was starting to break through the morning clouds as the wind pushed them across the site. After a few minutes of watching the trucks come and go the sun broke through again just in time for me to capture it.

I got asked recently how I manage to create crisp clear mining images in which I replied “I have a good camera.” lol.
The truth is, I am still learning, even after 25+ years of lighting and photographing people. My goal is to illuminate the scene so that it can be captured by the camera sensor without it looking like there is additional lighting but 95% of the time there is additional lighting.
I remember my mentor teaching me about the different elements of lighting, and once it clicked, I viewed everything I saw with different eyes consciously pointing out highlights, shadows, mid-tones and so forth. Studying the works of iconic portrait photographers learning the different lighting patterns and how to create shadows and highlights
Lighting alone has many elements to be considered. The intensity of the light, the quality (soft/hard), the direction of the light, the coverage of space and much more. When we throw in a distinctive subject or subjects, lighting is used to isolate the subject, separate the subject from the background and highlight a specific area within the image…..all without you even knowing it.

Last month I had the great opportunity to photograph a series of images for RockMass Technologies featuring their Axis Mapper V2. You can view more info and images with the V2 at www.rockmasstech.com Thanks again to Shelby Yee, Don Toporowski and James Smith for the opportunity.

Some of my first mining shoots where within the exploration field specifically Diamond Drilling and Atlas Copco. It was (and still is) challenging to create unique images in such a small space especially if the rig is still operating.
