Photo Capture Guide
Reference mockups. Match the angle & framing when you shoot tomorrow.
Full Machine, Left Side
Stand ~10m back. Whole machine in frame, mast lowered, eye level, clean concrete background. Landscape orientation.
Full Machine, Right Side
Mirror of shot #1 from the opposite side. Same distance and height so both views match.
Operator Station
Open the cabin door, shoot from outside looking in. Show joysticks, screen, seat. Wipe dust off screens first.
Cummins Engine Compartment
Open the side panel. Get the Cummins valve cover/badge clearly visible. Daylight, no flash glare on metal.
Rod Inventory Laid Out
Lay all drill rods in straight parallel rows on the ground. Shoot from a slight overhead angle so they can be counted.
Reamers Together
Group all reamers side-by-side on clean ground. Buyers want to see sizes and tooth condition.
Mud Mixing System
Full unit in frame: tank, mixer, pump, hoses. Take one wide shot + one close-up of the pump.
Hour Meter Reading
Macro shot: fill the frame with the gauge. Numbers MUST be sharp and legible. Key on, engine off.
Serial Number Plate
Close-up, dead-on angle. Wipe the plate clean first. Model + serial number must be readable.
Drilling / Operating Video
30 to 60 sec horizontal video. Show mast pushing rod, mud return, operator working. Hold phone steady, no zoom.
General tips
- Shoot in daylight, overcast is best (no harsh shadows on yellow paint).
- Wipe down dust before close-ups; buyers zoom in.
- Landscape (horizontal) for all photos and the video.
- Highest resolution your phone allows. Send originals, don't compress.
