Let me know. No hard feelings if it's not going to work. Sounds like you have plenty of volunteers. :-) This tree is still on our property and I could probably do something better with it now, but it'd have to wait until this next weekend.

That one's a little bushy looking, but I may be able to use it. I'd like a chance to see what else pops up before I ask you for access to the original.

Thanks a bunch Barry!

Shot some more pines this morning -- sending a couple more PDFs.

You're welcome. Good luck! :-)

ETA - Sorry for the belated post...this thread fell off my radar.

Hey Mick, I'm in the process of uploading a bunch of shots to my profile (the folder is "Pines")- they are all abysmal lighting because they were taken around noon, but I had limited time today and didn't know what you were interested in anyway, so if the basic "type" of pine or whatever aesthetic is what you want but the photo isn't suitable for another reason, I can retake any of these tomorrow morning and upload them around 9AM Mountain time. The limber pine was one that had been identified by my city in the city park, hence the reason for the ID tag photo. Unfortunately, all the other pines there didn't have tags (although every deciduous tree did....) but I am confident in my Pinyon and Ponderosa ID's. Also, if you're looking for a certain "shape," the Ponderosa's vary IMMENSELY as you can see in their shape, so if you wanted to describe something I could look around as well. The "natural" ones are better examples of their typical shape, the ones from the park have all been pruned to make their shape better. They're honestly everywhere here though, so it's not a problem at all for me to look for a nice one for you. Also, the "unidentified" pine is likely a Pinyon of some sort, but I'm not sure. It's kinda hard to see because of the foliage behind it, but I could reverse the direction and take the shot towards my house as well (my front yard).

I have uploaded a handful more photos of ponderosa pines in yosemite. Take a look and let me know if you see anything you would like at higher resolution.

I got all three PDF files. It took a while because my so called "high-speed" satellite internet connection is once again acting like a 1200bps modem connection. In case anyone cares, HughesNet sucks!

Thanks much Paul!

I'll try to get a look at them tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks Derek!

I got all of the photos that you people sent me. Thank you so much. I appreciate all of your help.

These photos will help, but none of them are very close to what I was hoping for. Does anyone else have closeup photos of pine tree branches that you will share with me?

What about you KarenNfld? Did you find anything like what I'm looking for?

Anyone else?

How about a pencil sketch showing what composition/branch configuration you need? It's possible that pine trees don't grow in the way you want to depict them ...

Mick I didn't have a chance yet, but I promise I will get you some pictures.

If I make the drawing, then I won't need the photos. ;)

I could just draw something from my imagination, and I'll do that if I don't find something close to what I want. However, I usually get better results drawing something I can see. Besides, if I find the right photo, I may be able to incorporate it (or part of it) directly into my design without making an intermediate drawing. The design itself is a layered Photoshop TIFF file that will be converted to a B&W mask and laser printed onto transfer film. If I can't find the right photo, then I'll make an intermediate pen&ink drawing, photograph that, then incorporate it into the design.

They will if they know what's good for 'em. I have a loaded chainsaw and I ain't afraid to use it. :)

I don't have a detailed picture in mind of what I want. If I did, then I would just draw it and be done. I know there are lots of different types of pine trees, and the ones I've seen so far are just too bushy looking for what I want. I guess I want to see more wood and less needles. A branch with character, if that makes any sense.

Okay, I'll wait...

...is it ready yet. :)

Seriously, don't put yourself out. I'm not in a huge rush or anything.

I live in pine tree country here in SW Florida. We have a couple of types of long leaf pines here, but I do not know if they have cones on them right now. I am guessing that you want a horizontal side shot of the end of a branch with a couple of cones on it?

It doesn't matter whether it has cones or not. I'd like an interesting looking branch that shows some wood. One with some character. One that doesn't look like a big bottle brush. :)

Not sure if this one can help you.....
 06/16/2008 03:11:01 PM · #46
Is it a requirement that the tree be a pine? Since you posted a picture of a fir initially, perhaps you'd be more happy with examples of fir or maybe spruce? If so, I could definitely find some more of either firs or spruces for you.

These two I submitted for April side challenge. Would they be of any help to you?

If you still need some photos PM me. I have a backyard with 10-12 towering pines. Let me know what resolution you need and that way I can shoot them as smaller files for emailing. Did you try looking on yahoo or google? They also may have waht you are looking for.
 06/16/2008 04:22:45 PM · #49
This is gonna sound dumb but your original post showed examples of what you were looking for but just needed them in hi-res.....have you been unable to contact timmifor a hi-res? I looked at her pbase account and she has more pine tree in that too....and she has posted there recently...
 06/16/2008 04:31:50 PM · #50
how about these?
