Although the entire site was enormously interested in watching the crane being dismantled, because of the scale of the clearance, preparation and disruption that the operation entailed, I was very aware that many of the other trades had still got to work through it all. That included me, in that I was aware that several areas beyond the 10 metre exclusion zone directly beneath the crane were progressing, so once I had setup one camera to carry out the taking of shots every ten seconds so that I could create a time lapse movie, I then continued my general coverage of the work as well as obtaining full quality images of the dismantling, and this freedom of movement allowed me to capture the action from a much better lighting standpoint, especially as the fixed viewpoint for overall shooting was for a large part of the morning looking directly into the sun – not exactly conducive to high quality imaging. Another point was that I could also choose the focal lengths of lenses for the still shots as well as the viewpoint.
The much smaller gallery shows some of the other work either being done or well under way whilst the main program was unfolding. In some of the apartments the kitchen furniture was being installed, and the newly laid tiles were now covered by temporary sheeting of tough paper.
