So this one was, you know, zippin’ around, and doing these different samples. So I had to kinda think about, “Okay, where do– what do I want this image to look like?” I framed up the image that I wanted, focused on that particular jar of liquid, and then– waited for the machine to get to where I needed to, almost like you were posing it.

SANDRA

The reason for these little jars are  the liquids that POLARIS tests from its customers around the world. And they’re used in predictive maintenance for customers, And it’s much easier to be able to find out early that you need to change the oil in some part of that machine than to replace the entire machine down the line.
