How do you go about posting photos here. We have a bunch you might be interested in, it's at yahoo groups and is called loaderlarrys. It has pics of some forestry stuff here in north western ont.

Norant,

Go to the Forum Tools bar above and Uploading Pictures.  Instuctions there should help.

Vintage Crawler This D-6 Caterpillar was being used for snow removal and road and landing grading. I'm told that it is a 1946 model. The steering was "a little loose". Corey timber harvest; 3/04.

Could there be something wrong with my computer settings (monitor) because I don't see the 'forwarder' in Ron's picture at all (only an outline of the boom) unless I download the pic to photo software, and adjust the brightness considerably. Then the green forwarder stands out very clearly.
Should I adjust the monitor?  The brightness is set as 'bright' as it will go, as well as the contrast.
Not complaining, but seems I am missing details of pics with what I have set up now.
Any ideas?  Thanks

Beenthere,

I see the green timberjack ok, but I have monitor on Max brightness. Photo is a little dark though due to weather at the time and darker at the rear end of the wood hauler where forwarder is pushing.

I'm at max brightness on the monitor.
Here is how I brightened up the pic (at least I'll see if it comes out any different) by adding 'brightener'.   ;D



Sorry to clutter up your thread here, and will delete if helpful to do so.

theres a rottne forwarder working a red pine thinning up the road. i'll try and get a picture of it to post.

i saw that one at the expo 215k with tracks and chains, thats some serious money.

There are videos of Rottnes on this site, if some of you are interested.

David_c

how the heck am i supposed to get this picture i wanterd to show to get on here? every time i do it it just winds up in the archive.

Tom

You almost had it. Read the instructions in Forum Tools at the top of the page.

The Picture was very small.  You  must have shrunk it to the 15k rather than optimizing it.

Tom said ""You  must have shrunk it to the 15k rather than optimizing it.  ""  

Looks like that is a clue to what I am doing wrong to. I will try to work on that.  I have one site that only takes 10k, and seems the only way I can get to 10k is shrink it. Now I will need to look into optimizing it.  I will head for the instructions tomorrow. Going to postpone taking down a windmill, as the wind is to be 20 - 25 mph and chance of thunderstorms. I'll stick to the ground and try to not become the "ground" for any lightnin bolts.

Dave:

If your using photoshop, I find that it encodes some extras into the jpg image files and its hard to optimize the photo. I use fireworks and it doesn't seem to stuff the image with 'filler'.
