Fork Lift Truck

The phone rang and the voice at the other end asked if I would go out to a local business park to take pictures of a fork lift truck.
They wanted pictures of this dusty and little used vehicle from each quarter, and over the cab seat looking at the controls, levers and peddles.They also wanted pictures of the engine from each side.
Pictures of the "hour meter" and I. D. Plate were also required.
The project was interesting for a number of reasons. The fork lift truck was housed in a vast and very dusty former aircraft hanger. Light levels were so low that I was shooting on a tripod at about 1 second with extra light pumped in from two remotely fired flashes.

It was a very interesting project and made a change from Brides and Grooms:)
