XCEL ENERGY 2014
We traveled from our Twin Cities base to capture Xcel Energy projects happening in North Dakota, Wisconsin, Colorado and Minnesota for their annual report.
What does it take to capture outstanding industrial photos?
It takes nerves. You might have to strap into a safety harness and ride a lift 120 feet up or lean in as close as your safety advisor will allow to a welding flame.
It takes timing. The right time may not always be sunrise or sunset -- the sweetest light can happen after a storm or even just between passing clouds.
It takes vision. The difference between a good artist and a great one comes down to his ability to capture light and angle and composition on set, then follow through with magic in post production.
