Experimenting with Cameras.
The bridge is progressing well with the rail bridge now painted, transoms installed and western abutment completed. Construction is in progress for the road approach span and a mock up of Narellan made - photos will be added in next post.

One of my aims was to try and create a layout that lends itself to photography and a lot of experimentation is happening at present. A few shots were taken tonight to learn more about creating extensive depth of field and playing with lighting and post processing.

3013 and 3034 bring a down mixed into Camden platform 

3013 waits in the loading bank siding while 3034 shunts a CV, steel S and S truck into the goods shed siding

3013 has just uncoupled and run around the down mixed goods

the photographer has walked back behind the train to grab this shot looking
towards the buffers and Nepean House

I am happy with these results and look forward to finishing off the detail and getting the rest of backdrop in place. There was quite a lot of dust and fluff on the locos, they will get a good brushing before the next shoot. I would like to look into simulating smoke and steam for some future shots any one have recommended products for this??

Back to the bridge work Cheers for now
