Grant Jenkins used to work for Metro Photographic in London, and now works with Nexus Restorations. I had cleared my work, and the sun tempted me out to nearby Kimpton to pay him a visit. Naturally the reason behind this trip was to take yet more photographs, this time of men at work.
I was made extremely welcome, and I quickly set up my tripod. It was amazing how quickly everything was covered by fine sawdust! I left the camera and tripod cases outside. There were going to be no changing of lenses today! Also I found shooting with the 80-400mm on the tripod was none too easy and soon dropped that in favour of shooting handheld, and upping the speed to 800 ISO.
I was also asked to take some pictures of Pickle, the dog, but that was done outside for reasons of Health & Safety. I shall put up temporarily a small gallery of pictures of her as well.
I tried to get a variety of different angles, which did rather favour Steve, purely because I could work all around him! I hope the shots give some pleasure; it was certainly fun to try to capture what went on in such a tight timeframe.
