Dang, Derek, you were doing so good!  That last pic was the sharpest, best-in-focus one you've sent yet and was worth the wait anyway.

Good sizes and quality on the others.  If you have an option to soften or sharpen the images, try the sharpen once and see how you like it.  It will increase the file size a little but is sometimes worth it.

He had a lot of great quality pictures in the F-16 thread.

Derek - looks like a lot of those big limbs tore off - is that a new pruning technique or are you removing the tree?

I ll defenatly give that a go to..Gee by the time I do get a modern camera, I might know what im doing??

Guess what, Im doing another contra next week, for the collage cpu teacher, ( hes pretty cool to!)..Im takeing this cpu to his place and he will show me how to use it..HuH..Who'd of thought?..

I kept the 712 pages of instructions you sent me ages ago on sending and receiveing at 35% all the time, he should figure it out ,or we will be online over a few days..(pretty thick remember)

All the HTML advice is still here (least i think its enghish)
And finally get some assistance on the fileing off the 4000 photos on here( he reconds I dont need a 13/64th at all..lol)

Ill try another pic, dont know what yet...Ill surprise you..Derek..

Ok It's one of the pics of the "now showing" tree, it was suposed to be of the termites in a branch, as you can see nice feet , shame about the ants!, lots like it this week, I wanted to show Guy the bugs at height eating away trees..Ya can still make out its not good wood..D..

 

[Derek]

Hey nick, was "waiting for the flames" so to speak..

I know it looks ugly but by that stage I dident care at all..
Way under quoted, had so much to lower, the ones I could let crash into the tree the better,..

I still put a safety cut some where above my feet , incase it rips to much, let the weight of the limb help you and cut it straight through, no scarf at all, the head will slowly come down against the tree, then rip the rest off, If I look like ill get near them, ill cut them flat, (in case I fall on one) if not ...Yes the tree is comming down, pic of it finnished are on the next roll..

It has been the same camera for ages, must be the groundiescum
owners that make the difference?

New camera would be better..Derek..

 

[Nickrosis]

Had to ask. You never know with the...what's it called, Tom....fractive? pruning where people rip tops out of trees to give it a naturally pruned effect.

You're doing fine, sir! Don't let me bother ya.

 

[Derek]

I better clarify that statment, on that last pic, I would of been tied in to the right leader, proberly no under cut at all on the lert...Just let it go, the tear will stop at the fork...Dodge and weave it if gets to close to you,, ( like MBs JUMP vid)..There gums..ya get used to them..D

No worries MATE!!...Love to be questioned on my style....

If you could call it that...

A name for that sort of cut? And you dont have to be nice

get it down and go home!!, the timber is useless, wont burn under an oxy torch, dont give a stuff, just dont hit either house!
Dont spend all day tying ropes if it will land ok, head first..
Try not to get hit by it though..And watch the shake when it hits..

no LZ for limbs but first or even flat..

I think this would have to be the limb on the left that looks so bad..

fractal?

Here's a screenshot (1152x864, 140kB) of one of my screensaver modes: "forest"

They pop up until the whole screen's full, then start over after a while.

[Derek]

Way close there mate, above the left knee to..

Thanks for posting it, should put a quick end to some of the newbies attitudes about chaps or arbor pants, put them on or dont start the saw..

Hope you "doc" the groundie for them!
