Sean1098: As discussed yesterday I think this might be what you were looking for? I pushed this one to hell and back. Let me know.

I love his shot i know its been given a real kickin with photoshop but its a good look :) maybe the foreground needs to be a tad darker to balance it up with the clouds ?
Great location too might have to head to the local quary soon myself ;)
John, this is one great shot. I love this kinda stuff…
More please!!!! :lol:Vanessa
Quality image John. Best shot I have sene in a while.
Tell us more please on the PS work.Agree with Ricky on this too.

Spotted these up at the Moto-X… they had probably been used to create the track. The moment I spotted them I said to Wonka… ‘HDR candidates’.
* Basically created 5 exposures of the same raw file (-2,-1,0,1,2) setting the Brightness to 0 in Adobe Camera RAW first as it defaults to 50 and can aid in blowing what was already a very bright sky
* Put them through some HDR software – 100/100 on the Strength, about 40/100 on the Saturation – I wanted to make the colours flat looking – And then tweaked all the other settings to try and get the right look
* Then into PS, tweaked the shadows and highlights using Curves and a Linear Contrast Curves adjustment
* Desaturated the entire image, not completley, but drained the green from the grass and blue from the sky. Created a mask to retain the colour in the machinery
* Some dodge & burn on the highlights and shadows
* Unsharp Mask
Really nice picture John. Sounds like you put a good bit of time and thought into it. Really nice as i said before would be an interesting one to see in print

Hi John, Nice one, some excellent processing, just one thought, shouldn’t you have Arni Terminator looking out from behind one of these mean machines. Mike :lol:
