56/365: Digger

IMGP1815_6_7

This construction digger is sitting at the end of 153 Avenue in Edmonton. My guess is that it will be digging a trench to lay down some storm drain plumbing prior to completing the extension of 153 Avenue to 142 Street. This is a 3-shot HDR and then stitched in PhotoMatrix and finally post-processed in Photoshop.

Shot facing west towards the sunset, this are the construction cranes building the new Edmonton Reman Center, which is basically a minimum security prison. To the left of this photo (outside of the frame) is where the new Anthony Henday ring road is being built. When done, drivers will have a great view of the prison. I increased the shadows during post-processing to make all the foreground objects black, but the vignetting is natural. I used the Tamron 18-250 which is prone to vignetting on the long end. Enjoy!
