Lifted a box girder piece last night under the memorial. The 18000 set it at 1AM and just took off a 11 this morning.










More lifting right now.

Caught this tonight, 42tons. Awesome test for my new wide-angle, as I bought it about an hour before.

Thanks everyone. The piece took about an hour or so to set, it was put in today at 2:30pm. On page 19 on this page, the beam is double the size of this one - 113.2 tons.

Great work. I am envious of your ability to watch this on a daily basis.

Camera wise need a good telephoto for my new body but have not decided on size versus aperature sizes.

I was there picking right in front of the Hilton Thurs. night. We are picking wall fragments originally poured in the early 1900's. 4-12 every Tues and Thurs. Also going back to start placing all the artifacts we set a few weeks ago down in the Memorial..That one you guys will have to wait to see until later this year..Whistle Discovery special coming soon...Wink

Thank you. It is amazing to see the progress in person.


A 70-200mm 2.8 is always a good choice (depending on your budget) Do you have a full frame or a DX camera? If you have a DX I would say get the 70-200 because the 1.5x crop gives you more reach, for a FX I would go with a 70-300mm, not the best f/ but it works for what I do!



mmhh I wonder what this meansWhistle

Just an FYI the smaller sensors don't multiple the zoom any - they don't give you more "reach" they just limit the viewing angle. For example, a 100mm lens on a 1.6x sensor would have the same viewing angle as a 160mm lens on a full frame sensor, but it would still just have the same magnification of a 100mm lens.

^

yes I know that, I was just saying that if he has full frame, it would make more sense to get a 300mm if they want good zoom. a 200mm would be better for a cropped body because it would be more like a 320mm rather than just having 200mm on a 35mm body. an example, 28mm on a full frame is wide angle , but on a cropped body its a 45mm.

at the hotel right now, only got the 3rd floor, thought it would be bad because its not high, but it is better than a higher floor in my opinion!






super column
