Sunrise drilling rig

[Montana]

Got a couple free hours to step away from the rig with my newly aquired 5D mkII and catch the sunrise. I sure wish I had my tripod with me, and could have used a grad. Lovin the new camera so far though.

Shot with Canon 70-200 2.8 IS

Nice shot. What company & rig number is that? (if you don't mind my asking)

Here is a retouched version I did using some tips from Dwayne Oakes' thread of helping others in this forum.

Brightened the forground, and dodged some of the wood in the pile. A few other tweaks.
