October 2025 - Industrial Digger

About the Image(s)

This month's image was taken from my own backyard. Our neighbour has recently sold up, and the new owners are carrying out a demolition and rebuild. Early stages yet; however, this digger was left in this situation overnight. As such, I took the opportunity to do some light painting.
I used a torch from my property to light the industrial equipment by remotely triggering the camera. I took quite a few images; I’m not sure how many I compiled into this, but looking at it, I’d suggest upwards of 10 merged images.
Since I couldn’t avoid the other neighbour’s property in the background, I used masking to replace the sky with one from another image in my library.

Eight-second exposure for 11 seconds, F11 with ISO 1250. It might not be a thing of beauty, but it’s interesting what we can do with our photography and creative efforts.

Thanks for viewing, and I look forward to your comments.
