Getting a lift
Sometimes its a good idea to get some extra height, many buildings look better photographed from a slightly higher vantage point, in this case we needed the extra height for an advertising shoot. We hired a Snorkel Scissor Lift to photograph a farm complex along with its farm machinery. Our client needed us to photograph some large machines and the only way to include the machinery and the buildings/landscape was to get 6M above the ground.
One limitation of these machines is that they need a level surface. Luckily a sheet of board can be used to level the machine easily, otherwise the machine refuses to lift more than about a metre (safety feature).
We hired the machine from ‘Height for Hire’ who are based near Huntingdon (Tel : 01480 890191) , they were very helpful and reasonably priced.
The photos are by one of my assistants that day, Rob Percy. My second assistant visible with me on the platform was Toby Carter (the handsome one) who won a recent AoP Student award.
