I did a group shot where the only way to get any distance at all was to use a ladder in the middle of a bust street. Talk about fast shooting.

If I'd moved the lift back, I wouldn't have had as much of a downward view of the group. Probably would have created more problems than it solved unless, of course, I'd had that t/s lens. If it'd been a little brighter, I could have used f/8 instead of f/5.6 too. But then I'da prolly had more squinting. TINSTASAFL.
Several years ago I had an architectural assignment to shoot a new restaurant in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC. Believe you me, I understand how exciting it can be to be up an eight foot stepladder in the middle of M Street. Yee-haaah! I did have a very cooperative beat cop stand near me. I think it slowed the drivers down a little. I was careful not to ask him for permission. Just asked him to watch out for me for a sec.
