Loving that great swipe of dark/light, giving the scene such dynamism. It tricks me into seeing actual movement from the two guys on the digger, and from the machine itself. The trucks rear lights, however, are the best bit of all. I think of some kind of machine in a sci-fi movie about mining a remote planet.
Thank you.
yes this is a good candid or faux-candid, with great high contrast black and white, but also excellent use of the square canvas, with the area that should be well lit under headlights actually being a mighty diagonal shadow over half the photo. bravo
A handsome capture of men working in the night. I like the harsh lighting that throws detail into sharp relief. There's also the sense of unknowable mystery in the darkened pile of dirt on the back of the truck and the hidden scoop of the excavating machine. The angled perspective serves to bring the man hanging off the excavator almost upright, as well as adding dynamism. Comes together well.
