Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Red Rooster in the Making

Hi All, Well today i did some work for my boss who rang and asked if i could do some pics for him of a new building in the making, Red Rooster.
Here is where i work when i work at what i call my other job, the one that helps fund my habit sometimes as i drive a truck when they need me. We as well as deliver concrete for house slabs etc and also make lots of different concrete products like these big tilt up slabs.
All pics taken with the D2X and the 18-70 kit lens.

My Boss the slave driver.

The above pics are at our depot where they were loading the panels.
Here we have the panels onsite and being erected.

Interesting pictorial into this type of construction John - thanks for sharing. I find construction really interesting as I know very little about it etc. Australia - your chicken is ready! :)

they can churn em out these days.

my next door neighbour demolished his house ( in one day too, I might add)
which was also amazing. no dozers or anything, just around 20 or so angry kiwis, although it took them a few days to clear the rubbish from the site and used a bobcat for that.

but after they laid the slab a truck arrived early one morning with pre fab timber frames. I went out early and to my utter amazement there was a complete 2 storey framework up that arvo.
took em a while to brick that all up but I was amazed at how quick it all happens.

I guess the big franchises like maccas kfc and the like have a standard design that they can just churn out.
