On the first day of out Pilbara project we got a half hour jolly in a Heli over town, BHP, the Port and Dampier Salt. Was a fun experience and a first for Les as he hadn’t been in a chopper before. Hope he got some shots as he had one hand firmly on side of the heli for most of the trip. That Hassleblad of his is a bit weighty, one handed for 30 mins could be interesting. I held on with my butt cheeks and was sort of comfortable.
This was a pic over the tanks, don’t know who’s they are, but found the scene interesting. Stylized in Photoshop and using Nik Colour efex pro. Great software. If you want a copy see Benny @ Team Digital. Thats where I got mine. I know Tony Hewitt is a big fan of it too.

There’s something about that shot that grabs me, not sure what it is but I like it.
Maybe it’s the tanks , maybe it’s the texture , maybe it’s the road train, just can’t pinpoint it.
In other words it’s a yep from me, I like it.
Cheers.
Christian, I agree with Merv, that is one excellent image. I think is how you captured the light, the place fairly glows!
Nik software is the TNFP filter – go on, admit it…
Yep, the light and the tones set it off nicely, I like it to.
If Nik software is the TNFP , now anything is possible.
Another thumbs up from me. Not sure if it’s a good thing or not but it sort of beautifies or romanticises an otherwise somewhat ugly place and process. I reckon it’s a cracker and would look appropriate on the wall of some mining CEOs office. I like the slight diagonal too – deliberate or just lose traction on the butt cheeks for a moment?
Yep looks good. Maybe because a different slant on the rule of thirds? 3 trailers, 3 silos, 3 things that look like cracker biscuits.
Hey CF awesome image, great colours, super sharp, the road trains from the heli perspective creates great interest. Cheers Adrian
Hey CF,
Liking this one a lot. I still havnt installed my trial version of Nik software from the team digital session. Might have to give it a crack soon, everyone is raving about it!
You catch the lighting down south on friday night?
Nice colours!
