In tennyson there is a old flour mill getting renovated with a big crane on site. The view would be cool as it over looks a rail yard. bris river and city views in the other direction.
I can see it from work, if only.

Sounds like a place we're thinking of visiting in the (near) future. Maybe we could catch up

Now *that* sounds like the place to go with a wide angle lens.

Wide angle for sure or do a 360 degree shot on an iphone.

Midget · 21 Oct 2012, 10:32 am

Zzzz, iPhone.

Here we go, another dodgy iphone shot.

Also the boom on the crane swings in the wind when unmaned, is this normal?

Yup. Most of the medium-sized cranes move in the wind.

Is it so they dont twist there supports and collapse? Just a thought

I'm not an engineer, but I'd say if they were allowed to sway because of that, there'd be more chance of collapsing. Although, cranes do move horizontally, so that motor bit there might allow a bit of slack or something.
