Why? Because it was there...

Now that is an excellent reason isn't it.Just one among many I would say.Thank you for that !
There is nothing like being able to take photo's of technical manuals including schematics with your phone and sending them to your buddies phone. It is very convenient when he is up in the Rockies 700 Km away and has an unexpected problem. Scanners are very slow. A camera is "a click" and your done.
I was at a train show and a guy took off the shell of a Loco to show me how he wired a decoder in. Two clicks with the camera and I have that picture that's worth a thousand word manual.

How in the world do you copy an entire book onto your camera? What do you do? Photograph each and every page? Rich Hi Rich ! thank you for your response. I would however disagree with your misguided statement only intended to be as negative as possible.Last time I checked backdrops and building structures (facades) are used all the time in the construction of model RR"s layouts. I would stifle my curiosity if it were me responding and just change the channel. Please rephrase your post and I would be glad to respond. Thank you ! Cheers! John

John,
That response of yours surprised me greatly. Seems pretty rude.
What is there to rephrase? I was merely asking how you manage to copy an entire book into your camera. There was nothing intended to be negative.

Well, my point in making that statement was that I was acknowledging getting off the topic of model railroading by asking how one manages to put an entire book on a camera since the OP mentioned that. I find the topic interesting because if there is an easy way to do it, and if it makes more sense than alternative methods such as scanning, there maybe there is some merit to it.
richhotrain Well, my point in making that statement
Well, my point in making that statement
Rich, I wasn't questioning your point at all. My point was that the original title of this thread concerned low cost model photography. I think most of that was sort of covered on the first one or two pages.
Just my opinion, of course.
OK new thread !
One last bit on the subject of miniature photography.
My studies have shown me that an oft-overlooked effect is that of varying the light patterns and sources within the same shot.The human eye, marvellous creation that it is, compensates for SO much, but the camera, doesn't. There's very rarely a truly sunny day; there's always car exhaust, contrails, the next front moving in, in the air, that makes subtle but important changes in a scene, even a scale foot from your focus. Ever tried to smooth over a rough spot in the sky by using cut & paste with your paint program? The computer will spot those variations in sky colors & make it a losing exercise!
And people are never completely still, even dead. They're breathing, moving to what the other guy is saying, got sore feet, listening to a tune in their head...but always moving...so a shadow might get blurred...and the one thing they're ALWAYS making - is dust.
Just my two cents...
JohnReid OK new thread !
Given all the Quote's of Quote's showing things might be getting a bit warm and John is basically call this topic closed then maybe it's time to call this one done...
