Steve: I know. I must sound silly. I'll exercise a little more
self-control next time ;-) Cheers, Christine

Christine, you really need to work up some excitement over your work.
We are enthusiasts, after all. Steve

Just printed out my first 13" x 19" BW on Ultra Premium Matte. Yee
Ha!!!
If I do say so myself, it looks so cool. This printing is so much fun.
Here's the photo:
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8080119&size=lg
For the past couple of months, I've been photographing the construction
that
is taking place at my work. We're getting a 6-7 story indoor parking
building and a beautiful new student services building. The
architectural
renderings are now on exhibit in the lobby of our main campus building
&
about 15 of my BWs will also be on exhibit as soon as the framing is
done.
During the next 18 months, we'll be rotating photos that tell the story
and
progression of the construction.
I have full access to the construction site and have my own hard hat,
which
I must obviously wear. I had to read a safety manual & have to follow
the
safety rules. When I can shoot, I call down, and a young (and usually
cute
:-)) assistant foreman lets me on site, then escorts me around. He
usually
says things like, "Christine, watch out for that boulder ahead of you,"
(like when I'm walking & have my nose behind the camera) or I have him
explain to me what it is I'm seeing, since I know absolutely nothing
about
construction, though I am learning, and it's very interesting. I've
always
admired what man can build.
I'm using the K20D with the DA 16-45mm. Since the DA is F4, I put it
on the
K20, since that camera has really good High ISO quality if I need it.
The
DA* 50-135mm is on the K10D, but today, when I shot the crusher
grinding up
huge boulders, I put the DA* on the K20D. I didn't feel like doing any
wide
angle shots. Anyway, I just felt like letting a Yee Ha loose :-).
Thanks
for listening, if you, in fact, did ;-).
Cheers, Christine
