Working in heights II Photo

Photographer’s Note

This will be my last post from Turkey for now, I am heading home to Bangkok tonight, and will be more or less absent from TE for the next 2 weeks.

The picture:
I find it intriguing to see people working in heights with so much ease, whenever i find myself in places like this, my movements are a lot more restrained than these guys.
I have attached another shot from the same structure, but roughly a week earlier, with only 2 guys in it, one of them having a break:)

Hi Harry,
an interesting reportage, good shot. Dangerous work. Fine vertical format, colours and sharpness. Well done photo.

Harry,
I assume that these guys are all secured, right? That makes it at least a little bit more comfortable, although I can understand you and I probably would clinch to the metallic structure!
Have a good trip back home!

Hi Harry, you do a good job of catching these guys in their daily jobs. Everytime I see shots of yours like this I'm reminded of the "Men on a Girder Having Lunch" shot taken back in the 30's. Your workshop really ties in with that theme. Great detail, and the colour is good, though I'm surprised you didn't go black and white on this one. Enjoyed!

Thanks, John

It's all in the mind Harry, and if you don't mind you wouldn't get me up there in a month of Sunday's. Always feel like something will drag me off the damn thing. ;D

Hi Harry,
Yes vertigo....I would very uneasy up there, even when secured. A fine and well composed industrial graphism!
I hope you arrived home safely.
Happy Easter!

Hi Harry,
A great and very well framed photo of this large blue construction. With its colour it stands out very well against the background. The yellow helmets are a very nice detail here too and the light is pleasant. Well done!
Regards,
Lars
