Everything you need to know about me..

Photography, trains, and friends (in no particular order).

The bus photo is emblematic of the friends I've made in the forum...for those who missed it, we had a lot of fun with that one.

The model is an HO scale Southern Pacific caboose.

And my Angle Finder C which I'd been using earlier in my playtime.

Thank You Sir. Would love to see more of the trains.

Cool, Tom. That would make a very impressive product(s) shot if you were actually trying to sell any of the items in the photo. Very nicely done.

BTW, I like that little microwave dish on top of the caboose. Or is that a BBQ grill? :mrgreen:

That is really a cool shot. How come there ain't no kangaroos in there though?:):):):):)

Thanks fellas...

I was just horsing around playing with my seldom-used 100mm macro lens. The shot was taken in my kitchen on the countertop with no lighting other than what was coming in through the window. I wanted lots of DOF, so this was shot from a tripod at f/32, approx. 2 seconds.

I don't have a lot of train stuff any more, but this caboose survived among a few other 'favorite' pieces. It's made mostly of brass, and cost as much as some lenses (I'd rather have the lenses now).

The 'barbeque' is a radio antenna (UHF, I think). I personally think it would be a great place for a nice Weber Kettle. At 60MPH, the burgers could flip themselves.

One small confession...I cropped a little off the left side of the shot. I didn't want anyone to see the Quantary filter on my lens. :oops:

Ian:
As to why there are no Kangaroos, look closely and see what's on the barbeque. :p :lol:

I think it's hiding inside the caboose. And before anybody gets any smart ideas, don't they dare desecrate Tom's work of art by PSing a kangaroo in there. :rolleyes:

:lol:

See my previous post.

That's a pretty cool shot.

But I am having a hard time not pulling it into PS...

There is no question the shot needs something. Either a Kangaroo, or a duck looking between its legs or something.
