Monkey D's big alternative mimicking natural prunning thread

[Dean Lofthouse]

So what drove you to do this the first time Dean?

 

.

 

From my observations David.

 

I noticed Oak like to squeeze the dead stub out from a swollen collar along with beech, exactly like the Oak stub pic above. But when cut off to 3998 some allow rot pockets to form on bigger stuff

 

I've sectioned a few down and found they compartment off nicely but there were a few exceptions namely Cherry for one.

 

They seem to allow deadwood to travel down the main stem on larger branches but compartment off on smaller stubs ??

Ace pic's & mimmic's Dave.

 

What method did you employ on the smaller beech branches? Was this another part cut, tag & pull? Real nice.

 

Can,t wait to get oppertunity to do some more of this myself again in BB.

 

Will post some pics some time if I can talk some clients into it in a lovely bit of woodland they own becoming an experamental obsevation area as part of a management plan for their plot, fingers crossed..

Smaller ones are silky & hand fractures Dan.

 

Look forward to seeing further shots of your work.

Looks like it will be a really good bit of hardware for learning photo basics with.

 

Hamma's offered to take me through the fundamentals, which tbh, is where I need to go back to.

 

 

You've got one of the G's, right?

 

Have you gone down accessory route at all?

no accessories for me nope.....but i do tend to use it on fully manual........as a starter though David......for the general tree photo's I would use Aperature priority....which is AV on dial....have this as higher number as possible for max depth of field. If you have any questions.....i'm here.

Will have to get back & take a few.

 

Never seem to have the time to do so in the heat of the mo:blushing:

 

Have played with tractor pulls & different cuts a few weeks ago which was fun & informative. I hope the camera which I used to record the cuts was up to the job, as mine ran out of juce that day due to lack of power outputs at the time for re-duvination..

 

Like the silky rips loads:thumbup1:
