Gold Coast = Cranes by robz

Gold Coast = Cranes

The number of cranes working on the Gold Coast at any given time is a pretty good indicator of the state of the national economy.
London is full of them at the minute. Do much for Brexit! Nice treatment on this.

@peadar That's interesting Peter - all we hear about over here is the fighting about "will we or won't we" and how catastrophic it's going to be. Oh - and that suddenly Britain is a bit more interested in us and the rest of the Commonwealth countries....Lol Is there actually any final date yet - it seems to change all the time?

I'm not in favour of much of so-called 'progress' involving lots of cranes and denser housing, bird-box apartments and the like, but I do like this shot very much.

Is this infrared? I like your framing of the crane and heartily agree with Marnie

Great negative Rob, and indeed the more cranes the better the economy.....

@golftragic I have to agree Marnie - I often think that "progress" is the wrong word for it. :)

@jgpittenger Hi Jane - I'm afraid I can't do infra-red with my camera (would love to be able to though) This was the negative image of the original that was then converted into b&w. It's interesting to see the differences when you do the various changes in different orders - the results are quite different. Cheers Rob

@jacqbb Hi Jacqueline - this was a b&w from a negative of the original. It's funny that you get different results if you do the steps in different orders. Sometimes they are quite remarkably different. Thanks for your comment.

@robz Definitely!!!

Great shot. Have to agree with you about "progress"!
But construction does provide some good photo opps.
