A first sample of the images I shot today, first at Horseshoe Canyon, then at Atlas Coal Tipple. Weather was good for afternoon shooting - cloudy bright with the sun sometimes showing through cloud. Wind was an issue but shutter speeds were reasonable so hopefully no problems.

Great shots. I have noticed throughout your 'industrial images' you do a magnificent job with bringing out vibrancy and beauty and a three dimensional look in the blue/orange/red colors of rust and oxidation. How are you approaching this at the time of capturing the image and post-processing?
In the case of the third image - Akvis Enhancer made a significant contribution. Many of the industrial images however have not had that and the effect was created with local contrast ajustments - sometimes hundreds of them using masked curves layers in Photoshop. There is nothing in the shooting of the image that is special. In general these industrial images are shot in flat light and so there is a substantial increase in contrast and a modest increase and adjustment in saturation. In the case of the third image, there was also some 'selective colour' layer work to cut down a rather magenta looking rust - more yellow, less magenta.
They look fantastic...the work shows.
