Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2009Some real rail pictures as well as some model ones
Actually, they were taken of part of my trip on the hi rail showing just how quickly a broken fishplate can be fixed. As fotopic is set to show the latest first, it's best to start here http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p59893683.html and then go to the previous pic so that you get them all in the sequence they were taken. I've also added another 10 photos of Edmonton which can be seen at http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p59889395.html Again these 10 are shown in reverse order. I'll add captions when I get them. Enjoy  SignatureMike Hughes Marketing Co-ordinator NMRA British Region Modelling the North American Way Interested in American trains real and model? Look here http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/ Hi, (pictures) Nice pictures! May I ask, what lenses you use for rail-fanning (the real trains, not so much the model trains)? Ciao... . >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >. I have a Canon 400D camera which came with a 17-55 lens. This is all that I used on my first use of this camera in 2007. The results can be seen at the beginning of my 'real' photos. I have added a UV filter and lens hood to this lens. This has improved the quality. The main improvement I've made personally is that I'm learning more about post production before posting pics I have also recently added a 100-499 telephoto lens. That really brings thing into close up. I'll be posting some of the results on my fotopic site soon, Hope this helps answer your question SignatureMike Hughes Marketing Co-ordinator NMRA British Region Modelling the North American Way Interested in American trains real and model?

This is all The Canon EOS 400D is what I found as a subtitle ;-) So you got the better of Canon's kit lenses. Mind, the other one is not bad, but the 17-55 is better ;-) It's a good choice and quite versatile. > that I used on my first use of this camera in 2007.

That reminds me, I've still got to get the UV filter for my latest lens (the Tamron 17-50). And I've got to figure out how to fix my tripod - the head I have doesn't hold the camera... > The main improvement I've made personally is that I'm learning more > about post production before posting pics Which is almost as important as taking the pictures themselves ;-) Although I limit myself mostly to minor post-processing steps ;-) Have you tried "raw-therapee"? It's the best raw-converter I found and the Canon one does not work with Linux... > I have also recently added a 100-499 telephoto lens. That really brings > thing into close up.

That's a loooonnnng lens for sure - and probably saves you from ever visiting another fitness studio ;-) Keep on taking so good pictures!

Actually the tripod was my first purchase after the camera and UV filter. That has proved to be the best 'extra' as it makes taking pictures using the Av function easier and *really* increases the depth of field. >> The main improvement I've made personally is that I'm learning more >>about post production before posting pics [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >the lens with 1.6? That's a loooonnnng lens for sure - and probably >saves you from ever visiting another fitness studio ;-) I bought that from my half brother (at around half price!). He has a macro lens that I'm seriously thinking of buying, but I have to save up a bit for that. >Keep on taking so good pictures! There's a lot more to be processed and added. The next lot will be more model pictures from Edmonton - I took loads and the best is yet to come!
