Scenes around the layout... - Herc Driver - 11-12-2011 After heeding a suggestion...here's some shots from around the layout. Re: Scenes around the layout... - steinjr - 11-12-2011 Looks great! Smile, Stein Re: Scenes around the layout... - Running Bear - 11-12-2011 Looks great to me. Good work. Re: Scenes around the layout... - Herc Driver - 11-12-2011 Thank you both very much. Re: Scenes around the layout... - cn nutbar - 11-12-2011 Thank you Mark----looking forward to lots more great shots Re: Scenes around the layout... - Herc Driver - 11-12-2011 I just took these and used a shiny silver auto sun shade to bounce the light from the bottom-up to better even out the lighting. (Yep, a silver auto shade to bounce light...that shows the extend of my photography skills. My thanks to Iron Goat for some photo-tips on using photo reflectors to bounce the light.) You can just barely make out the Snapple vending machine at the back wall of the station.

Re: Scenes around the layout... - Len Turner - 11-12-2011 Mark, Nice modeling, excellent photography! Re: Scenes around the layout... - Ralph - 11-12-2011 Thanks for sharing the pics! Nice scenes! I especially like Fred and Red's Hamburger place, the track gang, the locomotive sanding tower, and the ornate fencing at the station. Ralph Re: Scenes around the layout... - Herc Driver - 11-13-2011 Thank you very much! It's amazing how adding LPP's brings the layout to life. There's still some sidewalks to adjust and all the buildings need glued down so they're not "floating" (plus 100+ other things to tweak) - but at least now it's at a point where I can get some good scene pictures. (Although I feel I've used up my "photo allotment" for a while. I don't normally post so many...guess I gotta bit carried away. Trying to find new places and angles to shoot from on my dimensionally-challenged layout is a trick I'm still learning. Hopefully, both my photo skills and shot compositions will improve.) Re: Scenes around the layout... - nachoman - 11-13-2011 I'm completely impressed. Great layout, and great photos.
