Santa Fe makes a trip through Lionel Ville
'Tis St. Patrick's Day! Let's see those GREEN trains!
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
Frank is back we thought we lost him last week with a no show. Looking good Frank
Will add some of my green trains when I get home

Blue steel bridge is back in operation....
Well I'm arriving at the show kind of late. Busy weekend I guess. Nice photo's everybody! Frank53 that's a beautiful shot. Here's my contribution. A photo of the tail end of a B&O freight as it rounds a curve leading into Williamsport on the MARS.
Hope everyone has a great week! Bo

Wonderful photo and layout! Thank you for sharing. I really love that perspective too.

Looks like you have that whole depth of field thing-a-ma-jiggie down pretty tight.
Nice photos all.
Yeah nice picture Bo, but CTT will not take any pictures if the distance is not clear. I know, right Roger??

Hi Frank and Kev,
In that particular shot I wanted a pretty short depth of field, however, not that tight short. I am using a Nikon Coolpix L810 which is really just a fancy aim and shot kind of camera. There is no real way to adjust the F-stop to get more depth of field. The only way to get more depth of field seems to be to increase the light level and being indoors the light level tends to be pretty low. To get better pictures with more depth of field means substantially upping the level of light or purchasing a camera that will allow the adjustment of the f-stop. At least that is how I understand it. I know that professional photographers will bring in lights that put 1,000 + watts of light on a scene. With that much light my little camera would both shoot at a faster speed and provide a shot with greater depth of field. Adding more lights (greater wattage) is probably how I will eventually go as I am not really a photo bug. If I am wrong about how to increase the depth of field thing I would appreciate somebody setting me straight. If you have seen some of my photos you will note that the depth of field is generally pretty short. Bo
Here's a shot I took the other day, I added some additional lights, about another 300 watts. Still the depth of field is pretty short. With the camera I am using, the Nikon L810, the depth of field is also effected by how much I zoom in on the subject. In this photo I focused in on the delivery man in the foreground. Bo
Maybe there is a photographer type that would comment about depth of field and ways to increase it.

Beautiful, very well done. I love the realism and the ATSF diesel.
