Photographer David Murphy says he usually shoots with a Canon 5D Mark II, and uses a variety of mounting hardware and remote shutter releases to capture images from angles that aren't possible otherwise. It was small and light enough to keep out of the way as these glazers set one of the uppermost pieces on the Carpenters Training Center in Buena Park, Calif.

Photographer Greg Bosque says the original intent was to capture a shot of the construction materials, along with the workers in the background and the corresponding vertical lines on each end and throughout the image. The added bonus was created when another worker walked into the scene to check on something and the contrast of his safety vest, blue jeans and shadow worked well against the stark grey of the concrete and blue of the sky in the background.
