nice series, wich post processing did you use?

[brill64]

these are fabulous, maybe a tad over-processed but great images!

[Karl G]

Reallynice series that transcends a photo essay to art like images.

Following all your pictures, Neil.

It strikes me here: it's you, it's much less the expensive cameras.

Keep on!

 

Cheers

These are very good and interesting (albeit also just a bit over-processed for my liking).

I very much like this sort of 'industrial' photography with human content

 

Please post more.

Excellent photography, and that you worked under the radar is especially gratifying. I love the viewpoint in every shot. Good work!

[Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

As for the processing, to be honest I was being lazy. I just ran each picture through Nik software HDR2 and picked the B&W Artist mode. I agree some of them look OTT but in a funky way they kind of show what life offshore is all about.

When things quiten down on the rig I will try and capture some more and spend a wee bitty longer on the PP

I liked them Neil. Lazy or not I wouldn't change them. Gives us a different perspective. Keep up the great work.

Neil, I look forward to seeing more of these fascinating photographs.

A couple of heavy lifts that we have to deal with all the time while offshore.

Neil,

 

I'd love to see the 4th from the top which to my eyes is the strongest sans the Nik software HDR2 B&W Artist mode if that's possible.

[PauloSm6]

Nice work, enjoying the industrial tough world depicted offshore.

i too am on the fence about the PP.

however it seems like you have a vision that isnt quite there yet.

i encourage you to keep going!

Not sure where you want me to go as Its exactly the way I wanted to show it even though some of the PP is maybe OTT, but like I said before I wanted to show it in an artistic way not something right out of the camera................some like some don't. I like it:)

Neil, I hesitate to be critical, but such a rare and super technical subject doesn't need any additional artwork or whatever. I felt it just got in the way of perceptive viewing. Sorry!

[melissah]

pretty much meant that. also it will be interesting to see these in print. do you plan on printing them?

[Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS]

do you plan on printing them?

No but I am thinking of adding a section in my website for Oil Rig Pictures...............I have bunches of them

No need for Sorry David, I have worked on Oil Rigs for 33 years, I just wanted to see it for myself in a different way .i.e. using and HDR process
