TGIF in the land downunder.

Looks like it belongs right where you got it.
Thanks 88, the buildings, they got no say in where they land in PistonBroke, I
think I may shift them at a later date when others arrive.... but they usually remain,
Steamtrains Wrote:Do the trains there run at night...?? ....
We hardly have any trains at all running out in the country Gus, in fact they are trying to close a couple of local lines near here, that feed to the grain growing areas, because no-one wants to maintain them. Use and abuse, never mind the customer.

You would be welcome down my way any time you care. Might even get to share a frothy or two
Kanawha Wrote:Well done! Looks great
Thanks for visiting Kanawha, and I like the compliments man. :oops:
Charlie B Wrote:Jack, It never ceases to amaze me how everything looks just right. I don't know how you do the magic, but you get away with mixing every thing from every era, and it looks like that is the way it should be. Wonderful, wonderful work.

Hey there Charlie, it
amazes me that you would think so. I do mix things up because I know no other way. I see buildings of all ages, and in states of disrepair around me anyway. I'm not sure that they blend in that well, but I do just pick a build to try my luck at because I like the look of it and not because it is of some era or other. They are all American models, as I seem to like the laser cut stuff at the moment, and it is very hard to find an Aussie manufacturer, let alone an Australian building, so there are compromises everywhere. And thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment.
TrainNut Wrote:I was real curious as to how the LED's worked out as a lighting source and so was looking forward to your night shots. Unfortunately, the brightness of the street lights seems to have overexposed the pictures and it appears there are no lights...
My bad. :oops:
TrainNut Wrote:......or the electric company has not come out and completed the connection yet......
The electric Co's down here run on 240v, maybe that is why the street lights are so bright, ........no??
TrainNut Wrote:...Any chance of showing just the building, at night, without the street lights?
OK Train man I hear you. The LEDs don't shine a lot, more of a dull glow, I had to use 5 because I didn't use a resistor, so the 16 volts go thru the 5 leds in series and I suppose gives each about 3 volts ( Have I got that Right ?)
Ah well, so I went back to night school and completed my second day, where they told me how to use the camera, this is the results, with different exposure levels...
Maybe overkill, but here are a heap of snaps
OK a bit of overkill, but experimentation is the key. All photos were taken at night on a tripod and no flash. Hope they don't stall to many computers.

And don't worry about the double bed out on the alcove to the right ... I think the couple on the verandah ....... well you know..... and it was a hot night. :oops:
LIFE....
..... Abandon the search for truth
Look for a good fantasy
