Model Railway Engine

Photographers Comments
Tried practising with this one after all your helpful tips re the model steam engine. Hope you like my attempt, all comments and help appreciated. Thanks

Hi Lorraine,
great use of DoF and crop. Maybe a little less single directional light to try and avoid those harsh shadows next time. Try using a white board to bounce the light back from the opposite angle to fill in the shadow areas more. This will add more depth to the finished image. And maybe a little more light on the background to help eliminate those unsightly shadows behind. (Confusing ain't it).
But hey! you are definately comming on leaps and bounds, keep them comming in and I hope we can help.
Regards....Phil

If it moves shoot it. If it doesn't move, still shoot it.

Thanks Phil, very confusing lol. More boards, i need more assistants, any volunteers? LOL. Torch, camera, backing board arrgghhh, but oh what fun tieing ourselves in knots trying hee, hee. Thanks for the encouragement and tips on lighting (something i'm not great at - yet), got plenty of board, just need to change the colour of them lol.

Nice shot Loop,

Good details and colours, do you have a shot in lanscape format

Hello Lorraine. Lovely little engine, and I can see it's running on live steam as well, beautiful.
Either someone you know or someone in your family is a steam buff?

If it were me though, I would have moved back just a little and captured the whole engine,
just a personel thing I guess, and yes I would keep the landscape format as well.
Good subject matter.


Cheers,
