Thanks, Damo!

I really like your construction projects!

Your photography is excellent!

And, your stories are always fun and very entertaining.

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

Thanks Richard :wave:

Construction along with fire/rescue are my most favourite of the modern themes :)

Well, Damo, most of what I would have said has been said, but I'll repeat it and add a bit:

1.  Excellent photos technically good and compositionally good too.  You have an excellent eye for detail and layout and obviously build in to your story what you see about you.  The knocked over cone and broken road sign where the corner has been  cut are an excellent example.

2.  You pack plenty into your photos but not too much.  As a result, it pays to study each photo to get the story but the viewer isn't overwhelmed by material.  In addition, there aren't too many photos needed to tell the story.

3.  You've a very imaginative approach in your story lines so the story is entertaining and interesting.

Look forward to more stories from you.   :wave:

PS:  I like those hedges and fences from the ELC.

I'm sure your eye for detail and composition will stand you in good stead in your favoured career.

I await your whopper photo story with baited breath!

I don't know about other countries, but in the UK traffic cones mainly come in 2 pieces like the ones in my pic. This makes it pretty much impossible for the cone to cause any damage to a vehicle, as when the vehicle hits it and the cone slips under the vehicle, the orange bit is removed from the weighted base, allowing it to safely pass under the vehicle - unless you are very low slung ;D





That's very clever, I wonder why ours are not like that?
