Weekly Photo Fun - Feb.6th-12th, 2015

One of the drawbacks of using fluorescent lighting for your layout is the loss of detail in photos taken of it. A good example of that is seen on my wood-sided express cars, built from Athearn heavyweight passenger cars.
Here's what they look like on the layout (you'll need to click on the photos in order to get a slightly larger version, which will better show the difference): Wayne

It took me quite some time to figure out that digital cameras "don't like fluorescent lighting". I still, occasionally, forget to turn off the fluorescents when shooting. Incandescent lighting ( or natural sunlight ) appears to be, a prerequisite for digital photography.

I set up my "photobooth" in the Kitchen for some of the model progress shots :oops: I just checked, and the overhead light has one of the new fluorescent "screw in bulbs" :oops: Now I know why I have so much trouble there

Thanks for the "heads-up"
