Here in town the
Easthampton Congregational Church steeple & clock are getting a long overdue facelift.
I have to say my first thought was "how do I convince them to let me up in the crane" my second was " I am getting my camera at lunch to try"
Well, the painting guy said no problem when he thought I was from the local paper. The crane guy was not as impressed when I said I do a blog for the local paper.
In the end I got a maybe as they will be there all week.
I did get these shots and thought I would share since it has been awhile since I have posted shots.
Shot with the DA 10-17 - The guys in the bucket are held in place with the crane and this guy leads them around with the rope.
SIgma 70-200 - Hand signals are used as well. You can see the old clock needs a clean up.
Sigm 70-200 - This side is looking good now.
comments welcomed and I have not given up on getting a ride in the bucket. It has the view I have wanted to shoot from for years. Maybe my last chance to do it.
Thanks
