Blue Collar Life Pt1
Why hello again
Life has been quite busy the last few weeks, and i got a bit of time right now (off work with a fairly powerfull migraine) to both get a new set of photos up and a new series started, as well as show what i do now.
This series shows the people i work with in full detail, grit and grain. Other then sharpening a bit and picking between color or B&W, these shots are as unedited and raw as you can get em. No fancy sets, or models, just them working there buts off, living a Blue Collar Life.
This first one is my grandfather (who landed me this job) welding a bar that we put on a pup trailer we were working on. This is the first time im submitting a shot done with a higher apeture setting then my usual. I used to always use the lowest aperture i could to get steady shots in low light, but thanks to the DA chat i found that higher aperture can yield sharper contrast in photos. Just looking at his gloves in this shows that off.
Enjoy
