Light Painting a CATERPILLAR 330D L Excavator

I’m on a construction equipment run right now as I’ve got another excellent light painting, this time it’s of a CATERPILLAR 330D L Excavator!
This is another fun light painting project that I could potentially add your child (safely) to in post-production. If you have a kid who just loves construction equipment, please give us a call to create something (with them in it!), that they’ll cherish on display in their bedroom (or, over your fireplace)!

What’s With All of the Construction Equipment?

You might be asking why I’ve got all of these light painted photographs of construction equipment all of a sudden. Well, to be honest, many of these were created a while ago, but I never thought to write about them! Until now!

Someone you know might think having one of these created for their companies’ heavy equipment would be cool. These are high-impact images that would be amazing in a construction company’s advertising, website, and on display at the company’s headquarters. If they didn’t know that I could do this for them, how would they know to ask?

Taking Artistic License

Meanwhile, here’s my finished light painting of this particular rig. So as to not irritate the neighbor living behind the treeline, I decided not to fire a whole bunch of strobed exposures at the trees, and instead, I replaced the trees with dirt piles (yes, I light painted piles of dirt!). Then for the icing on the cake, I added a really dramatic sky to finish off the image. I think it looks pretty cool!
