Thanks for the compliments! Those shots were all made in the train room on the layout. I have two banks of track lighting with 50w spots (six on each track), plus a ceiling fan with three of them twist cone lookin' flourescents. The 84 Lumber shot was done with the ceiling fan light as the primary light source, with the spots over head dimmed enough to provide some fill. I shot it at F-8 at a 6 second exposure on my Canon S-2 digital with the Macro setting on and ISO100.
I just loaded my shots up before dinner without leafing through this week's other entries...Now that I have, I have some compliments of my own to dish out! Grampy, your PRR scenes are right on! You can almost feel the ground shake under those big Keystones. And Jeff, I'm really diggin' on that park scene. You need to replace those clunky old Lichen trees with something a little nicer though, and you'll have a real winner there.
Outstanding work everyone! Have a great week...

A couple more from me..
Not quite the eye level perspective I've been going after lately but still a fair shot.

Great shots everyone. I always enjoy and look forward to this thread.. Hopefully someday, I'll actually have some finished scenes to show.
The weekend is drawing to a close and I finally have some time to sit at the PC. As ever there are so many talented modellers and photographers showing their work on the WPF thread. Great work everyone, it is always a pleasure to browse this thread.
Not much to add myself, just a throw-away shot of a tower I built some years back form a JL Innovative kit. Ii is lit and has an interior, not that you can see it.

My offering for the week probably fits better on a "1:87 Vehicles" forum than here, but FWIW: Here's a Kibri model of a Liebherr 883 tracked crane, being used as a "slag smasher" by the Erie Steel Corp. It picks up the cast iron ball with an electro-magnet and drops it from a height of ~30ft onto solidified slag, to break it up so it can be shoveled and carted off to the crushing facility. I spent 10 days of evenings and weekends painting and assembling this kit.

Thank you, Peter - I'll pass your welcome comments on. I only wish it was! Instead, it was taken at Hilltop Community Centre, Tamerton Foliot, Plymouth, UK, on a typically wet and windy British Saturday afternoon... The backscene was a rather rushed, albeit effective job, and the layout is supposed to be at the foot of the Rockies...
