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:

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
Nice one, Christine. Will you be posting a gallery soon?
