Remodel, Week 29
Zoomed out a bit more for this one, so as to capture both the fresh island and the still-intact front part of the remodel wall in the same shot. Definitely a unique view, and I was pretty happy with how this shot turned out!
Unfortunately, that's about all the happy I can include in this description. Satisfied by my coverage of the fresh island, after taking this photo I walked away. As I was doing so, I discovered a guy nearby kinda looking at me funny. He must have seen me taking the picture and wondered what the heck I was doing. I next found myself by the old rotisserie chicken case, which I also grabbed a pic of (you saw that one yesterday). However, I realized that the guy had not moved, and was still staring at me, obviously not dropping the matter like most curious people would (a few people have even kindly moved out of the way before when they realized I was taking a photo!). In fact, the guy actually proceeded to grab a Sam's Club employee and point at me before coming my way. I headed into the produce walk-in cooler – where my mom was busy shopping – and emailed the photos I had just taken to myself, in case I was forced to delete them. As we left the cooler, those two walked in, but thankfully didn't say anything even though we passed each other. To be safe, I didn't take any more pictures on this visit.
The guy was not wearing a blue vest, so I was under the impression the whole time that he was simply a regular customer. I will admit that there is a chance that he was a construction worker, in which case I can understand the situation better. But the fact that he had to grab an employee to confront me instead of confronting me himself doesn't give me much confidence that that's the correct scenario, nor does the fact that the employee didn't say anything to me – if he had wanted to/really cared, he definitely could have, but he let us go without even saying a word.
So... I'm still operating under the assumption that the dude was just a regular shopper. And that does NOT sit well with me. So I took a picture. Big deal. It is absolutely none of your business what I'm doing, and definitely none of your business to “tell on me” to an employee. And that brings up another question – why are you so concerned in the first place? It's not like I was photographing any shoppers such as yourself. In fact, I only see one human being in this entire photo, way off in the distance by the refrigerated foods sign: clearly not the subject of the image. Crew members having a problem with my actions, I can understand, as well as respect. I'll comply with what they tell me to do. Regular Joe Blows, on the other hand... nope. Do not appreciate attitude coming from you. That makes me really angry.
Rant over.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Out for a windy, snowy, hailed on and sunshiny ride this afternoon! (Sunday) 42 miles around the edge of Sheffield and into the Peak District. Lovely stuff!!
Bit of calm here sheltered from most of the wind with a nice bit of sunshine too.. That's Stanage and Millstone Edges on the horizon..
Bit of enjoyment - photo session of a neighbours car which ended up being extended to allow the Snow Moon to appear in the blue hour.
The exciting car is one of only 800 in the UK is a 240 HP 1.8 litre turbocharged beast , Audi TT Quattro Sport 4WD does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. top speed is limited to 155mph in this UK version.
No rear seats and the battery relocated to the rear for improve weight balance, plus a few other tweaks!! Now a cult vehicle and tipped to increase in value due to it's rarity. Built in a special Audi motorsport factory rather than the standard Audi production line apparently.
Image info :- Nikon D750 with Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 @ f/5.0, shutter 20 seconds exposure, ISO 800, polariser to extend the time to allow some light painting. Twin Nikon SB900's inside gelled with purple to aid interior effect. Light painting using bright LED head torch. Processed in LightRoom CC.
Chemical tanker Bit Oktania sailing up the River Thames: the stretch of river is Gravesend Reach, the 'point' is Shornemead, identified by the light tower, which replaced a rather more photogenic light-house in 2003.
