Model Train Show

Promoters called it the "World's Greatest Hobby on Tour," but "adventure in miniatures" would have been a more suitable title. The trains were accompanied by elaborate layouts such as a re-creation of the old Boston Harbor, and a Great Lakes bulk shipping dock that included the Edmund Fitzgerald.

One camera, one lens. A Canon 60D and a Canon 18-200mm IS lens. Available light, no flash, handheld, Program AE autoexposure, Auto ISO. Live View was used for accurate framing at the close distances and low angles. The images were processed through Imagenomic Noiseware.

#2 and #3 are cool.

Nice shots, especially when those live monster people aren't in them. I'll check the schedule and see if I can get to this, I'd been many many years ago.
