2018 Week 04 Photographs

By Corey Lablans Photography

(35^th Week, Year 5 – 1701 days – 1 missed) 

2018 01 22 – I just opened a box of Magic: The Gathering Rivals of Ixalan cards.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f4 1/60^th I.S.O. 200) 

2018 01 23 – A pine tree is silhouetted against the setting sun as I drive back to the house in Emo, Ontario.

(Nikon D7000 w 80-400 f4.5-5.6 @240mm f7.1 1/1000^th I.S.O. 200) 

2018 01 24 – These are small rock fragments (chip samples) collected from the blast holes after drilling. These are used to do a crude geological map of the blast pattern.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f4 1/125^th I.S.O. 2000)

2018 01 25 – Glacial deposited material is exposed at the upper portion of the mine. In this photograph you can see material deposited by glacial runoff producing a braided river followed by a period of calm water, either a lake or pond.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f8 1/200^th I.S.O. 500)

2018 01 26 – Oil is added to one of the drills operating in the east outcrop. The east outcrop is mostly used for road material.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f8 1/100^th I.S.O. 400)

2018 01 27 – Cones indicate where the drills need to drill a blast hole. Blast holes are filled with explosives and detonated, breaking up the rock to be taken to the mill.

(Nikon D7000 w Sigma 28mm Manual f2.8 @28mm f8 1/25^th I.S.O. 400)

2018 01 28 – A large shovel removes material to load a hauler while on the 290 bench at the mine. Depending on the grade it is sent to one of many places: the mill, tailing, roadwork or somewhere else.

(Nikon D7000 w 70-200 f2.8 @135mm f5 1/8000^th I.S.O. 400)
