Great photos. That Olympus C-770 has a really nice sharp lens. I see from the EXIF data that you always use f2.8 or f3.2

You could increase the depth of field a little by using the minimum aperture of f8 instead.Try using Aperture-Priority or Manual and then you can set f8. It will mean a little longer exposure, but I think you will like the results.

I have always enjoyed looking at your photo's. Great Pics.

Absolutely awesome photos!!!!

I especially like the one with the F units rounding the curve before the crossing. Quite possibly one of the best model railroad scenes ever IMHO. Nicely done.

Thanks Mike. Someday Mister Nutbar will bring along the manual for the camera, and we'll sit down and figure out how to use it properly.

I was aware of what was needed for greater depth-of-field, but couldn't figure out how to change the settings.

hello everyone---Well finally Doctor Wayne and I got together to read the manual and tried our luck with a few more photos---after playing around with the settings on my camera and adding some extra lighting,Wayne and I spent an enjoyable evening taking some pictures on the beautiful EG&E---here's some samples for your consideration

We also had a short discussion about the stuff that you don't see until you look at a photo of something: city crews have been dispatched to repair that streetlight on Walnut Street, seen in the fourth photo.

Love the grade crossing through the turnout.

HI EVERYONE---I HAD TO ADD A SHOT OF #4193 CROSSING WALNUT STREET IN DUNNVILLE

logicman · 05-14-2008, 08:35 PM

Thank you for sharing these excellent shots.

I like the detailing of the track - rust - oil - weeds etc,
but most of all, I have to say that the flowing water is the best I've ever seen bar none.
