Description Overhead Crane This crane is on the Monongahela River side of the Carrie Blast Furnaces. The stairs climbing to the crane operators cab show how small people were in this environment. My only equipment was a small Nikon CoolPix camera, brought in case photos could be taken during 2018s last tour of the facility. To keep up with the group, photo had to be taken quickly and without much setup. Goal was to capture the image and enhance later.Original photograph edited with Adobe PhotoShop, Dry Brush filter used. Color saturation and vibrance amped. Big Midtone and Highlight adjusts needed for sky. Water Color filter applied.
