One of the principles of composition that I love to teach \u00a0is extraction, the pulling of details out from the entire scene. I was fortunate to travel up to Harlan, Kentucky yesterday to shoot some at an coal company property. \u00a0There is wealth of color and detail images. \u00a0I used a FX sensor DSLR with a 24-120 \u00a0and a point and shoot for most of these images, bet you can’t guess which are which!? \u00a0Think about what a small area some of the images are and imagine pulling details out of the overall scene! \u00a0Some are straight shots, some HDR & some Topaz Digital filters.<\/p>\n

These are chits, in the early days of mining each miner would take a number brass disk in the mines with him each day, when he came out of the mines at night he would replace it on the board, it was how they knew who was out of the mines and who was still inside.<\/p>\n

My good friend David Middleton, a great teacher in the photography field once said, \u00a0“If done properly, a photographer will spend 90% of their time looking for great subjects in great light, and 10% of their time shooting!” \u00a0I agree! \u00a0 I hope these images give you food for thought as you explore with your photographic eyes!<\/p>\n
