“Set in Steel”
I snapped this photo during the construction phase of New Gold’s New Afton B3 Zone. A worker was installing ground support between steel sets with the StopeMaster drill and as I walked by, I noted that the lighting and composition was nearly perfect. I adjusted the colour to create a post-apocalyptic look and really love how it came out.
