Pic of the year! 2012

[theXman]

now that's cool. Sucks it was a cloudy day, if it was the right light, that could have been a REALLY cool picture.

I just went through all my 2012 file.

I'll post them. Not a great year for pictures for me either.

Some jobs were really good, but cloudy days and bad photos.

 

[theXman]

this picture was honestly taken today by me on the job, no photo editing, just shrunk it and put the name on it.

Alex, our apprentice climber, thinning out a little leaf linden.

I'm entering it for Alex.

Dark clouds blew by, then for 10 or 15 minutes there was a rainbow.

another picture, from today, I'm entering it for MattyD.

he was crown reducing a black locust. Yes, a black locust. The customer cares about every tree in his yard, no matter what the specie.

It got so windy, I told him to quit the tall trees for the day after that one.

 

[theXman]

and, this is the best I've got for the year for myself it seems. Not great.

A leaning tulip tree removal with a crane.

fun job. video soon.

Bix,

This isn't toward you at all. This is toward the entire thread of "pic of the year", this year.

The compilation of pictures this year is by far the worst ever.

so many of them are just every day pictures. Poor lighting, ordinary specimen trees, ordinary work, ordinary background scenery.

I think part of the problem was, there was no rules set in the beginning, such as limit, two pictures total and the pictures need to be very good so that the thread is not boring.

I am part of the problem, I don't know if I have something that qualifies this year. It's hard to get a great picture.

I haven't looked yet.

Some of the pictures have been good. Don't know if anything is GREAT.

X-inator, I should have said "pics of this year" but it has been a fun thread to get peeps to post pics of this year, doesnt need to be EPIC or anything, its nice seeing jobs people are doing around the globe.

 

[theXman]

No.

Everything has to be Epic or eXtreme!

K I can't decide which ones I like best. So instead of 2, I've done 4. Hopefully the amphibious X doesn't get too peeved.

 

[theXman]

I dont have a great camera but this is a cell phone shot. I was doing a crane job in Philly and when the ball took me up the first time i was blown away by the view.

Michael, nice one of the city of love!

Dylan, that first one over the water gets my vote so far. You've gotta be zenned-out on that job!

 

[TonyK]

Dylan, it's the 1st or the 4th for me. No matter all awesome shots.

X, all great shots.

Dylan that is cool , the last pic standing up there , cause you own it . I have a lot of pics , here's my second one . Big Oak in Wayne Pa. on Pugh rd. , Old growth Oak , this tree was leaning back good , head was out , pulled with a New Holland and f350 pick up . Couldn't mill it because it was too heavy . Beautiful log . Shame , took a Poplar down in Philly a month ago made this look like a Dogwood. Cut this over with a Stihl 088 . This was in October '12
