You simply have to add your own lighting to bring out the details and have a proper exposure throughout the image, or you can wait until the right time of day using the sun as the main light source (which I did here). It's not easy to make things like this interesting but that is what I love about the challenges of Mine Photography.

A mining industrial worker uses the Stihl TS 420 Cutt Off Saw to trim down some concrete from a large block used to test the Tower Crane's shutt off sensor.

I few months ago I had the opportunity to photograph some heavy equipment with Pioneer Construction at one of their open pits. By itself this truck looks like a Tonka Toy in a sandbox, but as soon as you put a person in the frame to show some scale, you can see just how enourmous this Caterpillar Off Highway Truck is.

It was a pleasure working with this company and their employees as they all showcased the upmost professionalism and courtesy.

Lighting at the end of this cut provides enough illumination to capture this underground miner.

Underground Drilling Mining Photos
One of my favorite underground heavy equipment machines to photograph is the Jumbo Drill. From every angle this machine just looks cool. Instead of Tonka Trucks for kids, they should make Jumbo Drill Toys.
