Nightshift (Not Car Related)

[mellon]

Had some time free on nightshift with the camera.

The P&H Rope shovel loading some trucks

148sec exposure of the main ramp in the pit

The water plant (why I have been on nights)

Just a small storm in the background

and some frends to keep the night fun

all but the BUG pics where on a tripod.

For the work pics I was useing 75-300 Canon lens with a Canon 550D body, very affordable equipment (and the misses would not let me take her 5D to work)

The bug shot i used a 18-55 lens same 550D body.

Thanks
