To promote more photos from the field.?ÿ
Got this one the other day???

Oh my goodness, I'm seeing great calendar material... 🙂
@jed?ÿ
That's a good one.?ÿ If I were trying to win next year's calendar competition with that scene, I'd have set up the equipment and backed off enough to get a little more sky, with the instrument at the 1/3 point in the view.?ÿ But it's pretty good as it is.
Could have taken a good one yesterday.?ÿ A video would have been even better.?ÿ ?ÿWas driving along the highway and should have pulled over.?ÿ I was within 1000 feet of the base of a giant industrial wind turbine (windmill) with another in the background.?ÿ We had low-hanging clouds.?ÿ I hadn't realized how low-hanging they were.?ÿ I could not see the nacelle to which the blades are attached due to the thick clouds.?ÿ There would be an instant of nothing visible, then the sweep of the lower portion of the blade from left to right, then an instant of nothing being visible again, then another blade sweep...............
Beaver-damaged tree I found yesterday.
How would you label that on a tree survey? ?????ÿ
You know, it's the photographers choice, on perspective, angle, and distance. We went by that tree in the morning, and I looked at it through the camera. Light was worse. Shadows made it "not show up" right.
We were marking 1/2 mile through the woods, setting 3/8" rebar at places to allow fence construction. On the way back, it was better, (as the pic I posted) I believe it was a sweet gum. For a tree survey, I'd call it a 3 legged, 24" sweet gum, with 2 stalks. We often see things, that are only good "at that time", such as clouds, sunsets, etc. I want to promote the general idea of catching these wonderful field scenes, and saving them.?ÿ
