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.

It has more of a story to it somehow...
and this is just nice eye candy too

and this is so surreal and kinda ominous in a way

I loved being able to use my big benbo in the field, driving around,
setting up, and not have to hold the camera
up ... finding a spot in late afternoon to just watch glorious stuff for
a while and wait for the perfect time to click
that might or might not come.
but a big part of it was being absolutely alone , as you were in this
shoot, no distractions... yummy!
