Very nice series of shots, I especially like 1, 3, and 13. And I really, really like 14. He looks stalwart. Heh. Worked out much better than last time. I find, for myself, sometimes I don't do that well until I try the second or third time (on one particular subject). I realize later, in retrospect, that the first time around I was exploring the situation and finding out where the good shots might be (and where the bad shots were :-)). Which does pay off later, IF I go back later. Marnie :-) ------------------ Hi Everyone: It was a $itch of a day out at the construction site: very, very cold, damp, and flurries. But the drilling continued on the 1st caisson for the super-structure (indoor parking garage & student services building) as well as dumping cement and the drilling for the 2nd caisson (last 2 pics in GESO). They will drill a total of 90 caissons. The construction guys had some technical glitches, & I couldn't get my 360 Pentax flash to work right--I was very close to pitching it down that over 50 foot hole (1st pic). And I didn't check the K10D, so, without knowing it, I ended up shooting jpegs on that body--ugh. And the light of course was dreadful given the weather. Still, I had a blast. The construction guys were really nice & had no problem I was there. I was able to get close; & the assist. foreman feels more comfortable letting me roam a bit freely. At one point he said to me: "I'm going in the trailer; I'm freezing. Now remember, if you fall down that hole, Christine, we're not coming after you. We're just gonna dump the cement right on top of you." To which I replied, "right." Anyway, these pics are in color as opposed to black & white like my 1st construction GESO. Comments are greatly welcome.
