Bob........... I'm truly thankful for your photo clinic. I'd be interested in more information regarding depth of field. I have a good quality digital camera but am not much with photo skills.
Thanks.

You're welcome! Note this thread was started back in 2002. Since then I've placed the material and more on a separate website that you can visit whenever you want. It's in my signature below.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Bob Bordeau (Fundy Northern) left our forum and participates on another. I certainly miss Bob's talent and hope he returns here.

Hey! It's BOUDREAU! I never left, just changed my screen name from FundyNothern to Railphotog. I've posted semi regularly on this and several other forums.
Thanks Bob for the helpful clinic Some day when my money gets green i'll invest in a better camera For now my RR gets all my extra funds but atleast with your tips i might start taking better snapshots.
Thanks !
Is there a good small camera that will fit in tight places for some up close shots ?
Now that my RR has lots of buildings and trees most snapshots are done from
the center of the room.

A splendid clinic. I like this shot in particular:

Bob,
I hope you don't mind me adding a couple things...
This one ignores most rules of composition, subject is centered, the horizon runs through the center, etc:
Here's the same shot with the camera moved down, to the left and tilted up, like you are standing near the creek:
Framing. Here's an obvious example of framing. In this case, the "hard" frame of the building lends itself to placing the locomotive nose in center frame:
Different perspective. This is easier with a small point and shoot. For these, I placed the camera in the scene. Both these also exhibit less obvious framing techniques:
