Thanks so...I've never gotten Golf Claps before! Thanks so much, Sam - I feel so special! :O)<br />I am so glad you like my interpretations better! It was difficult to make out a lot of the detail, even after studying the photo with my 4x magnifiers. I finally just had to go with what I had and what I could do with it.<br /><br />My camera is just my phone, though it is one model newer than yours so I bet it has a couple more megapixels. I am trying really hard to take better photos, and I'll tell you some things I've done to make them better:<br /><br />- I have a large white tri-fold project display board that I position behind whatever I am photographing on my table. It reflects the light, and I've found good lighting is key to good photos. I live in a very gray climate, so it it often a challenge.<br />- I work in my dining room under a five arm chandelier. I have replaced all the bulbs with LEDs in bright white.<br />- Sometimes this makes the camera read the colors funny, so I often diffuse the light with a sheet of mini vinyl time flooring. I often have to ask for help to hold it, cause I need to hold the camera and push the button. What I wouldn't give for a camera with a shutter voice command option!<br />- For smaller accessories, I have started to build a platform using a 2-1/2" tall box, foam core on top, and foam core board behind it supported by my big bottle of Gorilla Glue. Having the items elevated seems to help somehow.<br />- I take loads of photos, then spend a bit of time editing them. The Photos app in Windows 10 has a lot of things to play around with, so I am just beginning to discover them.<br /><br />I hope some of this will help you, but your best bet is to just get the iPhone 8 for yourself Christmas! :O)Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-28704886027950205692017-10-18T09:17:43.305-07:002017-10-18T09:17:43.305-07:00Just Lovely Jodi, I can only echo all the comments...Just Lovely Jodi, I can only echo all the comments above and congratulate you on your 'quick and simple passion project' Marilynburygardenershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930807695134677074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-86402802517559553912017-10-18T04:13:43.264-07:002017-10-18T04:13:43.264-07:00Gorgeous!!

Fantastically whimsical bits and bobs, I think I like your rusted wire interpretation better than the original. I have to say your photography is wonderful also. Do you have a fancy camera or are you doing this all with your phone? I need to invest in something better than my crappy old Iphone 5 to take photos with... lol.. something to aspire to.. hmm I do have a go pro.. I wonder if that would work better than the low quality shots I'm getting now.. *thinking* <br />Anywhooo.. It's all wonderful and I can't wait to see what you do next with the Christmas Cottage. :D <br />((Hugs))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
