An attempt at better water. A mockup with metallic mylar from a Sweet and Low bag with gloss medium stippled for ripples. Blue reflection from the backdrop. Gravel for an improvised bank. Just messing around on a summer day

GREAT pics, guys. Carl, what make are those PA's? They're gorgeous.
Harold--that's some nice 'messing around' with the water. Looks absolutely swimmable!
Grande Man--really nice shots, I'm going to take Bob's advice to heart and start learning how to use my camera, too.
In fact, I discovered that I can do neat things with my Adobe Photo Shop (finally!), so I deleted my first set of pics and fiddled around with them. This is the result--I think they're a little better.

The Rio Grande triple-loco reefer extra:

#3910 coming up the 2% grade at South Yuba crossing


4-8-2 #1520 as mid-train helper.


#1520 shoving through Wagon Wheel Gap


3-Cylinder 4-8-2 #1600 bringing up the rear at the Wagon Wheel Gap siding switch.

I think the contrast is a little better. Now I'm going to study how to 'paint' in and get rid of the fascia.

Looking good, Tom!

Up until now, I haven't been modifying any of our pics because I want them to look like our layout. Photoshop is great for getting the color right and cropping photos though. The depth of feild problems my camera has are an issue. I'd like good macro performance to get the shot angles I'm after but still retain good depth of field. I'd rather spend the $$$ on finishing the layout right now, but maybe later a decent digital camera will find it's way into my shopping cart. [:)]
You're on the right track by getting the new camera. There is a learning curve to it though. I found that out with a borrowed camera. It's a hobby within a hobby!
