Hi all :)
Did another job with the mast today :) I've been waiting for ages for the weather to clear up enough and today I just managed to get the shots I wanted whilst the sun was peeping through holes in the clouds!
Here is the background to the site I was asked to photograph:

In particular, click on the 'How' link at the top! It was quite a feat of engineering!
Here are the two shots I processed for them, both taken from the mast whilst extended to about 45ft whilst mounted to my car, and both stitched from around 6 photos.

I really need to get a guy-rope system sorted when I use the mast on the car .... in the wind we had today it was often bowing over like a piece of grass in the wind :o (albeit a heavy metallic one :D)!
Cheers :)
David :D
PS. For the observant amongst you who spotted that the skies in both images look very similar ... the answer is because they're both fake! :P Originally the sky was horribly dark and grey, which didn't suit the subject which was bathed in sunshine. That sky was taken from an aerial photo I took last year and pasted in :)
