Wow! I love the visual impact of this shot it's much more dynamic than your other 'Crane' shot, the 8mm has been used to great effect here with the sky making a spectacular backdrop, I've studied this image and for me I think would work better rotated vertically with the crane jib pointing down as my brain is trying to get it into the right perspective (which presumably is what you are trying to achieve)
Good stuff
Steve.

Hi Hans, very nice indeed. Back in the 70s I was doing a shoot for a major Canadian bank and found myself 70 floors up on the end of one of those shooting down into the construction site..Oh crazy youth;-) Now you just need to sweet talk your way up there and give us that view :-) Thank you for reminding me of that shoot;-)

Thank you both for comment and rating! I like to show the difence about a normal 11 mm wide-angle lens and
a 8 mm fish eye lens.
I prefer the asymmetric position from the crane.

And Randall, thank you for the nice story about the 70s.
I'am a little bit afraid to climb into the top of the crane.
Visit me next sunday and take the shoot again ;-)

Regards Hans

Sure thing Hans, next time I'm in the Netherlands ;-) Another quick story.. when I was doing a shoot in 1980 at the top of the new City Hall in Toronto, I dropped a lens over the side. It fell 30 floors or so..exploded real nice :-)
