Good points, Stan. I'll try the the filter. Yes, just two groups of single
portraits, really that's all I meant the two groups to be--a bit loosey
goosey. I do have some fun shots of them leaving the site at the end of the
day and lots of shots of groups of workers. As to lunch, well, I'm working
during their lunch time, so I always miss those shots--maybe I'll catch some
over my Christmas break. Comments much appreciated, Stan. Cheers, Christine

Nice shots Christine. Two suggestions: first, your 9th (?) B&W - shows up
as 3rd row, right column in the thumbnails - has a too bright background.
As do a few others, but this is the most glaring. Can you tone it down a
bit with a variable density filter in LR? Second, all of the worker shots
are basically single portraits. Good as far as it goes, but how about
group or swarm shots? Five or six having a lunch break, several arriving
at or leaving the site together, etc. Possibly looking down on the
entrance... In looking at these shots, mostly I missed a sense of the
context, I can't tell what they are working on and so I can't tell that
these shots even belong together. 21mm?

Hi Everyone:
I've put together 2 galleries featuring the workers, and in some
instances there's some text. The 1st gallery is in color.
The 2nd gallery is in black and white, and the photographs are different
than the 1st set. There's some funny expressions in the 1st set.
Some of these photos were taken over a year ago.
To be honest, I'm in a bit of a rut with this photo project. The team
is now on the 4th floor of the parking garage, and the construction
work, itself, is a bit redundant, and I have to watch that I don't take
the same shots I did when shooting the previous floors.
As a way to get out of this bit of rut here, I think I'm going to get a
digital tape recorder and record some sound, do more stills, and put
together a short multimedia piece. Doing this might help rejuvenate my
eyes--I feel I'm "seeing" the same shots over and over again, and I have
to do something to see new again.
