Christine, I like these. My favorites are "duct and stud work" through "general overview" (where the red-orange flags add a lot).

Hi Everyone:

Well, yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of the start
of the construction on the parking garage and student
services building at work. The construction workers are on
strike right now, but they'll get that sorted soon, and work
will resume.

The photos are what they are, but I had so much fun
shooting yesterday. It was dead quiet on the
site. I had giggly conversation with Desmond, my
escort, while shooting, and it was the day of the
tripod. Every picture was make on a tripod--except the
stairway photo. The walk around the sight was
leisurely, as was the speed of my shutter, shooting a lot of
1/3 - 1/6th of a second at ISO 400 with f-stops mostly in
the f 4 - f 7.1 range, and I bracketed virtually every shot,
though I still had some tweaking to do in the shadow
areas--a bump up here and there, and some recovery of blown
highlights. Because I used a tripod, my frames were A
LOT more level than my usual frames resembling a stroke
victim with pronounced sagging to the right. I only
shot the interior, so I was out of the sun, and a cool
breeze followed us around like a good friend. My
construction boots were still a must, but I was allowed to
abandon my hard hat and safety vest, so I could enjoy the
breeze even more.

It was just one of those shoots when it felt good to be
both alive and a photographer.
