Try resting your camera on something and take the shot then(stops the blurry shots)...they will come out much clearer. When you have your camera ready ..go to settings and then to menu, then set it to what you want. Ya gotta play with it a bit and work it out. Nice cranes there too...do them justice and brush up on your camera techniques.  Try here... http://photoinf.com/General/KODAK/guidelines_for_better_photographic_composition_introduction.htmlthe rule of thirds is a definite read...down the page a bit.

man tough crowd.... i know the 1 picture is for sure blurry but i think i may have started to lean back more as i was trying to get it all in so my hand was moving.... the others arent THAT bad, way better that the crap i had posted before. i dont like investing in cameras, never have, i messed with some settings on my phone earlier. ill see if that helped, if not.... then no more pictures  and yes Paul you are correct, the table is full, no more room anymore, i was just thinking the other day i actually dont like it this crowded, liked it much better when it was just the LG and a few small cranes and some trucks, but i would not be able to have models and not have them displayed.... no sense in having the models then if you ask me

Dude. I understand you. Wait to see my table with just my hydro cranes. Although my crawler corner, now is full!! And as you wrote, it would be a shame not to display our models! PS. Don't be cheap, buy a camera.

So I got a message from the owner of Stevenson Crane's son today on Facebook in the morning, telling me that they were setting up their 2250 w/MAX_ER downtown, me having nothing to do today, grabbed my crappy camera phone and headed down there (if you dont like the pictures, well then tough) heres what i got            I was told that the MAX_ER used to belong to Central but Stevenson bought it from them, Central was also assisting Stevenson in erecting the crane and lacing the block. Let me tell you, that after watching those guys lace that block today for the better part of 2 hours, we in the 1/50 world have it way easier than them, they even have similar issues as we do with ropes twisting and getting stuck and having to pull cable back through cause its not laying properly Also snapped a few pics of one of West & Sons (a large towing and recovery company here in Chicago) rigs on the way home, pics were taking doing about 65, so be gentle on me    im gonna try and head back when they start doing the lifts, they are lifting some heavy transformers off a barge

Michielsens still needs to be shipped to me, so its going to be at least a few more weeks.
There is going to be another lift either this Monday or the following Monday of another transformer, ill have to find out for sure, not sure if im gonna go check that lift out as im sure its all going to be the same pretty much and with gas prices the way they are, 1 lift seems good enough for now.
If the Brandenburg gate would have been open i would have just drove in like i worked there as they had a bunch of cool attachments sitting around and a bunch of equipment there as well. Ill have to find out where Stevenson has more cranes, i know on Thursday they were renting 2 16000s from Central Crane to do a tandem lift of some sort but i just couldnt make that one
I know their 18000 is coming back from a job in PA, its in the Port of Indiana im told, but doubt it will make it to their yard, they want it to go straight to a job, but if it goes back to the yard ill be sure to grab pictures

Nicely done! The Oshkosh, P series (I think) is one of my favorites. Nice video of the 2250 too.

Nice one Woc,tastey little lifter there,you just can't beat getting photos outside,the few I have taken outdoors are just far superior than any of my indoor ones, and great series of snapps above of the big Manitowoc trafo lift,with a beast of a rig lol,thanks for sharing Was it the "clink" of beer bottles that the postie heard
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

No I wish, and it should have been but it was the sounds of me forcing child labor upon my daughter as she helped me dig out some bushed and start tearing apart the deck..... as soon as this thing showed up its amazing how i went from breaking my balls to get housework done to suddenly "ehhh, it can wait til tomorrow to get done"
