[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grande man [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Texas Zepher [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grande man I just stumbled across something VERY important for the point and shoot camera crowd. In cropping the previously posted pic, it dawned on me to try something to improve the field of veiw. Here's a 4mp shot that the carmera was back some distance from. Then the "meat" of the pic was cropped out. Much better FOV!!! WOW! I'm stoked! You can even make out the green signal for the northbound in the distance. [/quote] Yes, and now the two edged sword of good pictures, the flaws in the models start becoming more apparent. Did you notice your cement station platform isn't totally on the ground? [:)] Must have been some heavy rain that is undercutting the foundation! [/quote] Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's also harder to get a good camera angle from further back. Still, it's a useful technique in some cases to give better depth of field. [/quote] Don't forget you can also place the camera on the tracks (or on a book etc) if need be to gain distance - . (Would be good to have track power off) - If you can see the viewfinder and line up the shot - good If not just aim the camera by eye towards your subject The beauty of digital is that you can take test shots without penalty.
