New Construction shot for a builder client. My first "aerial" -- shot from a pole at about 18 ft.

That's a great shot...you need a TSE lens though! Save shooting all the way up there to get straight edges ! :lol: Did you have a belt on? How did you hold the cam?

Yeah, does look pretty good! That's not a risk I'd take - renting a tse is a lot cheaper than an ER visit!

Am I the only one who thought that pole photography took place in a strip club?

Good work. I'm not sure those rust stains will come off with a power wash, mine never did.

Here are some before/after images that I've taken from a pole using my Canon 5d-II.

You can find other examples at my web site at www.PolePixie.com (external link). The tools at that site allow one to convert a standard painter's pole into a camera mount.
