That’s an awe-inspiring machine, isn’t it. That not-so-tiny front loader, next to one of the huge tracks, is completely minimized by it.

Here is another shot with some tiny humans to get an idea of the excavator’s size:

These machines must be huge! I have an hard time trying to understand the true scale. A man, causally walking under the big wheel, would help. :slight_smile:
My take with dt 3.4.

It is huge…

Have a look at the image at the top right (full size). You can see human sized doors to get an idea exactly how big they are.

Here’s a photo I took with some humans on it on that day:

OMG, this is humongous! I didn’t even spot the humans immediately. :rofl:

Been a while since I have used darktable or any photo software for that matter. Decided on a sort of vintage b&w look because that machine just asks for it. Speaking of dt has come a long way I am really impressed.
