Cranes are cool kids!

I was on one of my paid jaunts yesterday morning and shot some great stuff which I am currently working on. I took this in order top win that sexy GADC urban shooters medal…paging @PingSpike to judge me worthy. The pic was shot in Bromley with all relevant PFCO conditions being met and everyone on site being briefed. Crane was 113m high at full extension, and I was at 120m slightly nervous!!! I also shot a load of real nice footage of the crane op going to work and his “office”…I’ll be posting that when it’s done :slight_smile:
I am in the pic but I used my feeble skills to turn all invisible!!

Nope. I’ll make it easy as well. I photoshopped myself out of the stills.

Thank you kindly. It was a fun shoot and having the contact to get the job and the PFCO to pull it off was a lucky touch too.

Nope. I’m about 5 metres in front of the blue delivery lorry that’s reversed into the delivery bay.

Is that your crew cab though?
If you look at the block paving near the rear it doesn’t quite look right :grinning:

That is indeed my great red beast. I’m still in front of the delivery lorry though. :slight_smile:
