Photo request

[Logger]

Right I know this is a bit odd but does anyone have a highish res photo of some pine trees or a pine forest etc? I need one for a little project I have going one but all I have come up with is this:



I would have used this but there is an assload of unnecessary crap in there. Would need to be of decent quality as its going to be blown up pretty big and printed on vinyl.
If anyone could help I'd very much appreciate it, if all goes well I'll post up some pics of the finished product in the next 4-6 weeks.

wht do you actually need in the frame? full of pine trees? or back ground landscapin?

i will give it a shot if i can manage to find some trees around auckland

[Logger]

Hmmm, would really like a shot of just the actual greenery of a the tree. Would also consider a shot of some pines in the foreground with the ocean in the background. I'm sure there are some trees in Auckland somewhere

[fr3ek]

Got it done

[Logger]

Yeah I only have 82,000 photos to look through, I'm too damn picky.

alright i will c what i can do in the weekend eh

Right so after a good bit of procrastination today I found this photo:


Problem is its very small (512x876) and I'm going to assume that blowing it up to 1.5x0.8m is going to make it look utter shit.

So hopefully David can come up with something like that (and I'll send him some money for a frozen coke) and I can get this thing sorted.

Reason I want to try this whole idea is that we have 2 of these coming in the next 2 or 3 weeks hopefully and I reckon it'd look wicked to have a huge pine tree climbing up the back of the cab. I hope the cost of doing it isnt out of reach though

[EGD]

hey man,

i did manage to find some pine tree around auckland today and gave some shots, but the weather was really crap so results weren't so good.

no blue sky, and greeness of the tree became quite dark.

Sweet as, I've jyst been quoted $667+gst to do both sides of the cab in the graphic of my choice so will have to consult the boss first.

[EGD]

inside of cab or outside?

if its inside, u should seriously consider something like this instead of trees eh.



sory this is way off topic, anyway, i will give another try tomorrow if the weather turns good

so hot !!!!

I think the boss would appreciate that but its a wee bit uneccessary

Have had a chat with him anway and he has said that if I come up with something good then sure we can do it.

So I used my shithouse Photochop skills to do this:

Note that I've put logs on the side of this one, we're getting two units so I thought it'd be cool to have them slightly different

[EGD]

right, now i c wht you mean. so a sigle or 2 pines tree shooting from downlow should give u a nice graphic.

something like this? but with nice blue sky and greener tree leafs

[Logger]

Yep exactly, as long as it looks cool going down the side of the cab in that sort of swoosh effect.

I knew I shouldnt have put the company name up

[croolies]

ok so its not a tree, but i reckon it'd look cool

[WingIt]

I dont think the trucks carry little purple flowers though

[Logger]

I think the drivers would get laughed out of the bush if I put that on the side sorry, nice thought though.

[Logger]

Okay bringing this thread back up as I finally got off my arse and learnt how to use Photoshop properly.

What does everyone think of these two designs? I want each truck to be different as apart from the different trailers and rear bumpers they'll be almost identical.

[Chaos]

that's good photo shopping man, and i think the 2nd pictures better

[RJ]

I prefer the first design, it looks really good with the fade. May I ask why you want the two trucks to be different? I thought it would have been better to have a standardised fleet look, plus I should think it would be cheaper only doing one layout as opposed to two different.

We only have two loggers so I thought a subtle difference would be nice. Its pretty easy for the signwriter to adapt the design so I see no issue. Although if the old man is feeling like a righ tightarse when the time comes I'm inclined to just do the top one on both of them. Gota quote for $670+gst for one truck so it's not to costly from what I know.

That's not a bad price at all. I've just priced up chasis', bodies, tail lifts, paint and graphic on 9 new trucks we've bought for Fliway so know my pricing lol.

Scanias or Fusos? We're going with a green like your guys green for the chassis so it's gonna look like Kermit the fucking frog. I have to name them at some stage too.
