The job was removing about 6 hazard Lombardy Poplars, after one had failed in a storm, 100-125 feet tall...and a birch, 80% dead of bronze birch borer, plus removal of the dead tops of two more birch. Crew of 4 plus Catrina for 5-6 hours.... we put in 10-12 hours on day one, and got the work 95% done and ready for the trunk craning on Friday. I'm helping Pat of Westside Tree Care, and providing two of my crew for the main removal day, plus an hour the next, then just me on crane day.
Posting this Saturday. All that's left is meeting Marilyn's Recycle who is picking up the wood, which needs to be cut as it is loaded, to fit into a tub grinder, then the final site cleanup.

My second try at a time lapse...needs improving.... it's not perfectly continuous as I changed the camera positon once, and zoomed in then forgot to zoom in, plus
I added two motor drive sequences, which need each frame to be viewable for much longer than the 0.04 seconds of each TL frame--which is what makes a time lapse look like a 24 frame per second movie, a frame rate that is natural for the human eye and brain to process as a moving picture.

 
Here's 15 images from yesterday:

These are my first shots with my brand spanking new Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens..... I scored it for $189 on a one day sale. Great reviews. Canon doesn't even make a comparable lens. They have a 8-15 zoom, which is $1250.
