2017 Week 52 Photographs

By Corey Lablans Photography 

(31^st Week, Year 5 – 1673 days – 1 missed) 

2017 12 25 – A variety of treats and Christmas décor that was in a Christmas “stocking” box awaiting my return to Emo, Ontario. I wasn’t able to make it home for Christmas, so my mom put this together and sent it to me, didn’t even know it was coming, such a nice surprise.

(Nikon D7000 w 17-35 f2.8 @35mm f5.6 1/30^th I.S.O. 400) 

2017 12 26 – This is the main stretch in International Falls, Minnesota, the small village across the boarder from Fort Frances. This is my first time going into Minnesota and the first central interior state. I cannot wait to explore more.

(Nikon D7000 w 70-200 f2.8 @116mm f8 1/640^th I.S.O. 400) 

2017 12 27 – A mound of ground up rock lay outside of a drill hole at the mine. These holes will eventually be filled with explosives and detonated.

2017 12 28 – Beautiful sunny days are deceptive in the winter, this setting sun looks beautiful but it has been exceptionally cold over the past several days reaching temperatures of -39 degrees Celsius (-38.2 F).

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma manual 28 f2.8 @28mm f22 1/250^th I.S.O. 400) 

2017 12 29 – Ice accumulates on my scarf, eyelids and hair as I breath while working outside at the core shack. It was around -35 degrees Celsius outside, while we were putting away some core.

2017 12 30 – The setting sun cast a beautiful orange glow on some core. Core is drilled from the ground and used to determine the mineralogy and geological structures, helping visualize what lies beneath the ground. Multiple holes are needed to create 3D models.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma manual 28 f2.8 @28mm f4 1/1600^th I.S.O. 200) 

2017 12 31 – As temperatures remained below -30 degrees Celsius it was time to get some warmer gloves. The black and yellow ones are great for dexterity but the brown ones definitely help in the cold weather.

(Nikon D7000 w 50 f1.8 @50mm f2.8 1/125^th I.S.O. 400)
