Chainsaw photography

[7oaks]

Well, It's been more than a year since I started this thread. Finally made a decision....purchased the Nikon D3000 today. Since the 3100 came out I was looking to get one of them due to the video capability but after finding out it limits the video length....I went with its predecessor for the hundred twenty five savings. First couple pics...and ya not the best yet but learning.

You'll get used to it and love what it'll do. Good lenses make all the difference. Older Nikon lenses will work with it - by and large - you just have to use A (aperture priority) or S (shutter priority) and focus manually. On some you have to remove the meter registration dodad. Enjoy it!

A close up of a square grind.

That doesn't look at all like the tooth on my new chain that I'm assuming is square ground. I'll take a pic of it this morning and upload it for comaprison and maybe someone can tell me what it actually is.

Thanks, I will be on the look out at the pawn shops for lenses. Its seems I read somewhere another brand fit as well??? Have done so much reading I'm starting to get them confused LOL.

Great thread, great pictures

Great saws, great pictures, great places.

I use a pocket sized Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 to document my small adventures. No question this and most cameras perform in the sun light.

Thanks, I'm still working on it. The pic is about 2.3M, I'll resize it and try again.

Here is a close-up of the chain that came from the PNW with my Contra S. I believe it is square ground but looks considerably differnt from yours. It has obviously been ground more that once but I don't see how it was ground at that angle without cutting into the links.

Taken with my Nikon D90 and 18-55mm zoom lens. [I don't have my 55mm macro here].

This is the other side, I didn't post it earlier because I wasn't happy with the focus. I was playing around with the BIL's silvey, playing with angles.

Nice sunny day so I played around with it a bit. Getting the hang a little then I will play with the settings.

Ah ha - you going to switch over to square grind?

NICE! You are going to have a blast with it.

Why of coarse. All of my longer bars that have Sq. chisle cutters get the Square grind. That pic was taken a year or so ago. I Hope my tecnique has improved a little. I can see a little "beak" in the pic. Have fun with that Contra!

I haven't actually taken any pictures involving chainsaws, but perhaps one of these days I will. I do enjoy photography, however, so I'll post just a couple pics. The second picture is at least close to the topic

Loaded up some of my favorites to do a quick removal this morning.

Took 5 minutes today to snap a few pics. Hard enough to take 5 minutes as it was, too busy working on a 395xp. More than surprised to see a saw of this size in this area, that's for sure.

Anyway here we go:

Lunchtime...

Beautiful place up there, you're very fortunate to be from there. Where I live all I can see is houses in either direction.
