I would think in a damp environment the normal domestic
dehumidifier just keeps taking moisture out of the air all
the time. It probably never reaches a level low enough to
cut off and more damp is moving in all the time. By using
a timer it at least controls the running cost a bit and keeps
the moisture below a point where it will cause damage such
as rust metal objects.

All the best Stan, take things easy today!

I had a quick look at the shot you posted. The Grey Card
was about 180R 115G 60B It was easy to sample and convert
to 50% grey which I think is 122R 122G 122B everything then
looked OK the leaves looked a nice green.

The only problem was that under the top leaf was a very
strong blue, but a lot of blue had been added overall to
correct the colours.




Edit: Sorry Andrew I didn't notice that you had posted
the same on Page 1. I was going to delete this post, but
it's got the RGB values in it so I left it.

You can always put a timeswitch on the humidifier...
say 3 hrs on 2 off to start. It's surprising how
heat will reduce the moisture content as well.

The Novoflex VR-System SLANT is at 60deg not 45 as I thought.
The idea is that a fisheye is used with a 180deg diagonal
view exactly vertical so that up and down shots aren't needed.

Here's one using the Novoflex VR-System SLANT system...
the detail of the railway tracks is quite good.

A link to the photographers website is at the bottom.

Next Page (on the original site) takes you to other types of
panoramas.
