Before we took any shots in the crane, we had a risk assessment made especially for when we went up to ensure that whoever went up in the crane would be completely safe.
Once we had had that done me and Tayler had to decide when the best time to do the crane shooting would be. Since we are now getting into the winter season by the time this planning had taken place, we decided that it would be best for us to take the shots very early in the morning, when the light would be best. We checked the weather on metcheck to make the chances of rain slimmer. We settled on an early Saturday morning before we both had work. It was decided that I would be going up in the crane and be taking shoots, and Tayler would be remaining on the ground. We arrived at the crane site, which was here at 7:30, ready for imminant shooting. This is what the crane looked like before I went up in it:
In total the crane height was 120 feet into the sky. I was wearing a harness the whole time that I was in the air for extra protection. I had a neck strap round my camera which was on my neck at all times, and I also had a walkie talkie to communicate with Andy, who was driving the crane, so I could tell him when I wanted to come down or if I needed any help. This was what I went up in:
