The problem with before and after photos during construction

Trying to find a spot at the beginning of a construction project from where to take regular photos from is getting harder and harder due to the number of projects on the go in Dubai. The first project I started to document was the building of the Dubai Water Canal however within a few months, my view point was now the middle of the 120m wide and 12 m deep canal. So I've started to look for 'above' photo vantage points.

Recently I've been documenting a build in the UK on the old Qinetiq site in Malvern. Without realising the order of the build, I returned the other week to discover the view of the build is blocked already.

Well I can provide an updated photo of the view from above, easy. However I'd made an error of judgement....the weather. If I'd just looked out the kitchen window before I set off, I would have realised I couldn't see the Hills from the ground, therefore it was unlikely I'd see anything from being up there.

  1. Ah, weather. Spoiler of many a photo opportunity (though creator of many more as well!). Looks like a nice spot, even if you can't see the development.

  3. That is rubbish the weather spoiled your view but it just means you'll have to have another walk up there to take the photo. I bet the view is fantastic when it isn't foggy. x

    1. I was in the wrong place for the photo I wanted anyway

  4. Such a gorgeous photo, it may have spoilt the view but I love the fog.

  5. Whoops! The British weather is definitely an added complication, but it's a lovely photo of the landscape anyway.
