    New layout photos with the new camera

    I purchased an Olympus C-4000z a few weeks back and have been experimenting with it ever since. It's really a fine camera, and based on the amount of Olympus owners on the board, it appears I made a great choice. I really like it and it has every feature/capability "I" would ever need out of a...

    Bridge crossing...

    Caught this shot while photographing the layout below. I think it's one of my better shots out about a million I've taken so far. Modeling is a piece of cake compared to photography. :rolleyes:

    Mammoth and Eureka Ry update photos

    I've provided a sort of panorama of my shelf layout below starting from left to right. The layout measures 12 feet (actually, there is an additional 4 foot hidden reverse track) by 4 feet down to one feet. The epitome of a shelf layout, it covers the entire back wall of my son's bedroom. He's...

    Progress on layout...

    Haven't posted in awhile and wanted to give you all an update of what's happening. I've started work on the other end of my shelf layout. As you can see from the pictures, it's a very narrow shelf (only about 1 and a half feet right here). As I've probably mentioned, I idolized Furlow and...

    Tiffany's Drugs

    I've started on the main town of my layout and have started getting the structures built and been playing around with the placement. Tiffany's Drugs is named after my grandmother's maiden name. My grandmother grew up in an old deserted mining town in the mountains of Utah called Mammoth. I've...

    Progress on layout...

    I've attached a photo below showing progress on my layout. As you can see, I still have a lot of finish work to do on the scenery. The howe thru truss bridge is scratchbuilt using Central Valley girders.

    New photos...

    Hi ya'll! Making my monthly pilgrimage and post to this message board. Since I don't post all the time, I thought I'd add my two cents to many of the fine photos that show up here and it's good to see so many great modelers are finding this site. I've had a little time to do the finishing...

    No more YELLOW!!!

    I thought I'd try taking photos with natural light during the day (as opposed to how I usually do it with artificial light) and voila! I think the results speak for themselves.

    New pictures

    I've been away from the board for a couple of months. Actually I've ducked in from time to time to catch up but I've been terribly busy lately. On top of that, I got into a funk and the creative juices just haven't been flowing in the spare bedroom- if you know what I mean. Luckily, it's...

    Two new pictures

    I'm almost done with the long wood trestle. You might recall from the last photos I posted that this bridge was not there. I tried to work with the tints of the photos. I guess this is something I'm still having to get used to. I'm a newbie at taking photos of this quality and am still...

    Daybreak on the M&E Ry.

    Here are the latest photos on some near-finished scenery of the canyon section of my Mammoth and Eureka Ry. There is still a large long wood trestle that will go in the foreground of this scene but I thought it would be good to take some in-tight shots of this bridge before I can't get up...

    What's everyone shooting with?

    Cameras that is. Not to compare what everyone's got or attempting to keep up with the Jones', but I'm curious what everyone is using for their cameras. So many of you have magazine quality photos and I'm wondering the what's and how's of your skill. Personally, I use a Nikon CoolPix 775...
