I'm consistently fascinated by these cranes, which makes them a great subject for a construction themed week. The size of them towering over everything else is astounding. Plus the weight they can lift boggles the mind (I heard that the beams used to create the new auditorium are 1500 lbs per linear foot!).
One my way out of work one day, the sun was hitting the crane just right, as the clouds must have opened up just enough for the sunlight to peak through. I felt this highlight of the machine versus nature made for an interesting image.
Used some free software call OnOne Photo Effects free to make some contrast changes that helped make the clouds and lines pop. Then with Aperture messed with the colors to recreate the feeling I had when I was viewing this.
