Twickenham Stadium, New Stand and Tower Crane

[Oxygen Thief]

Visited with Clayderman. Did a recce in the afternoon and came back at night to nail it.

The first photos are from the new stand. Photos were a bitch to take, due to the oversize gro-light on the pitch...

The panorama was made with autostitch.

What a top place, comedy access is always a must just to start things off nicely :) recce'd the the ground about 5hrs previous to going in under the cover of darkness. There are big holes and horrible bits of re-bar sticking out all over the place :eek: you wouldn't want to try and get out of here in a hurry. We first made our way to the top of the new stand the light in the centre of the pitch was a shame, it was just too damn bright, from our vantage point we must have been lit up like a Christmas tree :eek: Decided last night to invest in a quality tripod, my pics were not good due to using one of those small flexi legged affairs :( Well my first crane and what a beaut :) Top venue visited with a Top bloke, cheers OT
