Just in case any new comers think I'm being harsh to Josh, aka Maui Palm & Tree Care, he called all the buzz users drunken losers and said he was not going to post on here for a few years, so each one of us owes him one. I got mine in.

hey hey come on now, if anyones a drunk here, its clearly me. i get home and start my drinking and posting. maybe light up a greeny here and there. i did apologize for being a bit harsh but like i said. i dont care about you unless you are directly affecting my life. things are shaping up for me so i think ill be posting lesser and lesser. when im not working i get bored and start drama shirt on here or amusement and to see how people respond. im gonna cut that out for damn sure but you cant take my bottle of makers mark from me. them fightin words

thats the clients son, he is a professional photographer. he takes professional pics of mainly surfing and kite boarding but was thrilled when we showed up with climbing gear so he decided to take some pics.
now on to why hes dressed funny. he just came back from a 70's skateboarding theme get together. there was over 400 people that turned out for the event all dressed like a skater from the 70's. there you go

 

[porcupine]

Yeah they are.
Those are the buckingham fall arrest suspenders, formerly owned
by Jeff Cochran. I was trying it out as a kind of poor mans chest roller.
It kinda worked in SRT but I eventually stopped using it.

 

[cory]

Jeff, nice best pic of the year, you both look very happy!

Regarding more mundane matters, do you regularly chip hardwood trees that size with your 18" chipper? That's incredible. My 18" Morbark would not be happy at all with that trunk.

 

[MattyD]

Beautiful pic of you and your Lady Jeff!

Josh, do you think a man in a sling is funny?

 

[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

if im the one wearing it mattyD. just kidding.

he actually doesnt have a broken arm, it was a part of his costume. i dont think ryan would be jumping that high if he had a broken arm LOL!

The resolution was fine, Pete. I took the liberty of editing this shot for you. The main problem was the overcast day causing everything to be underexposed against the bright sky. I enhanced and altered the color, lightened the overall shot, sharpened it, and resized it to fit the desktop of most monitors. All that made the image noisy and caused some fringing. Not much of an improvement if not worse.

One can set their camera to overexpose such an image by 1-2 stops..or just resign themselves to have a silhouetted image.

 

[Jeff_Cochran]

cory, it's a vermeer nuff said. that machine loves to eat logs. it will do those size all day with the right operator

 

[mdvaden]

So the one photo is not a joke?

The chipper will cut up that size of log?

Thought it might be a staged shot, but then thought that would be a lot of work to go through just for a photo op.
