MrWolf Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I'll be interested in seeing the results there and how it's done. Ivy leaves always have a waxy look to them. Pretty much every layout needs some somewhere. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I'm not entirely liking the ivy I'm afraid. Yes I know you don't care what I think, but you know what they say- in for pound, in for a penny. So why am I not liking it I hear you ask. Well it's to do with the amount of it. Not necessarily the coverage but its density. Ivy of that density would take some time to accrue. It would also weigh quite a bit. You would therefore expect to see some impact on the roof. Such as broken or slipped tiles, sagging rafters etc. If you look at real life examples you'll see that ivy produces a great amount of leafage. Because it's also evergreen any dead matter is usually contained within the foliage hence the weight. Anyway feel free to ignore but I felt I needed to chip in. Hope you don't feel this is a criticism as it's not. Just passing on some knowledge I've acquired from dealing with the stuff in real life. 1 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technology has improved massively over the last few years, but a large sensor high-end DSLR will still give a much better image, especially when coupled to a high quality lens. For me, the key indicator is that even now, you never see a wedding photographer, or anybody who takes photographs professionally, using a phone. 1 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big advantage of a decent smartphone is that it is always with you and weighs next to nothing, but also it copes pretty well with most subjects - and enables you to then send the resulting pic to friends, family or your fave social medium, where it can be online in seconds. DSLRs, and their mirrorless replacements, still don't make it at all easy to do that. 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was out with the dog at a get together and there was somebody there with a DSLR with a long lens and they were b....y massive. It didnt help though that the young lady whose it was wasn't on the big size so it just made the camera appear even bigger. Plus it must have weighed a tonne. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent full-frame DSLR and a useful zoom can weigh 2 kilos or more. APS-C DSLRs are smaller and weigh less, though. Mirrorless cameras look like smaller DSLRs, and do weigh less - but many of the lenses weigh just as much, although that is improving as the designs evolve. An f2.8 zoom is always a lot of glass. Having that lot round your neck all day makes a smartphone seem quite nice! 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the other factor is that I still haven't "processed" the DSLR photos - yet the iPhone opens have already been passed around. Plus, because I don't use the DSLR as much now, I struggle to get the right exposure settings - or at least struggle to get them straight away. whereas the phone is just so much easier. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted June 28, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2022 I still prefer a compact zoom digital camera in bright sunshine- when you can’t see any thing on the iPone screen - especially with an electronic viewfinder. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 One thing I will say on behalf of the mobile phone is that it is great for ‘instant’ pictures enabling you to check work as you proceed. Used it a few minutes ago to check some work I have done to the ivy…… 2 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted June 28, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2022 I haven’t owned a decent camera for years so on my last phone upgrade opted for the iPhone 12ProMax and while it will never have the ability for parameters to be adjusted like a DSLR it really is an excellent camera. Also the ability to send those photos anywhere instantly is priceless. Jay 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
