Chainsaw photography

[a. palmer jr.]

Ohio Gregg....I have a lot to learn about it too. I bought the simplest camera I could find and still don't get adjustments right. Some pics turn out crystal clear and some are fuzzy, shot one right after the other at the same thing, same lighting, etc. Maybe I'm not holding the camera still, or something.

I have a little Nikon so I can carry it in my pocket. . I wish I got to work in clearcuts. That would make photographing logging a lot easier.

This is my office.....Actually, the two above are also.

Nice office, and scenery slowp
I envy you folks in the PNW when it comes to that. All I see around here is flat and full of corn stalks..lol


Gregg,

I ain't smart enough yet to figure all the different settings yet.
On mine in auto mode so to speak, when ya press the shutter button half way it focuses, then continue pressing the button to take the picture.
To take good pics, a tripod helps, but I don't use one..lol just take a deep breath and shoot! kinda like shooting a gun.


Gregg,

Here is one I took today after getting the tile down....

the big factor in taking pics is the lighting. SUNLIGHT will give you the best pics. Wish I had some....

The grout work is the most fun...then in a few years you get to do it again.

I tried to put one of those in my office and the boss put a stop to it. She mumbled something like....I can't take the wall out and the garden hose isn't that long.

Nice pics and I'm jealous!

These are taken on a Kodak Easyshare 740... An alright camera that suffers in low-light focusing... Not a problem here...

If it makes you jealous people feel better, I've been freezing my fingers off this week in blizzards. Gotta keep the fingers out of the gloves because I'm tying knots in flagging. Get in the rig at the end of the day and run back home with the heater on high. I don't take my camera out much when it is nasty.

As of today I have uploaded 1124 pictures to AS. Most have been taken with a Canon D20 and more recently D50 but there are quite a few taken with just a Sony Ericsson cell phone camera.

Last year I made this macro stand (the whole thing including the lamp shades)

so that with a 100 mm macro lens I can take pics like this

The camera is attached to and can be almost fully controlled from the laptop (operator still has to move camera up and down manually).


In case you missed it full thread here.

I think pics come out a lot better if they are taken out side in the woods cutting setting chainsaws on kitchen table just dont work for me. I use a kodak EZ share Z740 and a nikon D5000

can you do that with any digital camera? or only specific cameras?

Not if it's done right. Unless you're just talking about it staining. It shouldn't chip out though.
