RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted June 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) OI love that last picture - your close up of the 48xx would cheer up Mr Jones, I’m sure. The new lighting rig has been a triumph, I think your photographs seem to be much more natural and clear, if that’s possible. I ended up with the warm/ cool led strip combination a couple of years ago but they need a separate transformer each so it’s more wires and gadgets , as my wife would grumble!

Thanks I am pleased with the effect, still trying to work out the right colour settings for the camera though. I in fact, at times, have to much light but that's where the dimmers come in and there is a continuous band of light with no dim areas where there was gaps between the striplights. Luckily my LED lights come already fitted with a plug and dimmer so all I had to do was work out the length and plug it in.

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted June 6, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 6, 2019 Re dimmer for the lights. Here in Spain they don’t really do dimmers - for any kind of lights. I was going to get a set to run the length of the layout and power them off an old 12v transformer. they sell strips of LED by the metre in the local Chinese shops. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted June 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2019 You are getting some amazing depth of field Kevin, presumably another benefit of the additional light levels? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra lighting is a bonus but it is all down really to the camera and post focus. The last picture for example was made up of 69 separate frames focused from macro to infinity then merged together in Affinity to give the feeling of a fully focused picture. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted June 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2019 Interesting Kevin, thanks. Is there a setting on your camera that enables the 69 different focus positions? I have tried some focus stacking with decent results but I can only focus my SLR manually which realistically limits me to about 6 frames from near to infinity.

I have tried some focus stacking with decent results but I can only focus my SLR manually which realistically limits me to about 6 frames from near to infinity. The camera actually takes much more but the media player I use to abstract the individual pictures works out where the focus points change and in this instance 69 was the result. Somewhere on this thread I did run a post showing the operation, can’t remember when that was!!! Why can you only get 6 frames on your camera when in manual? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted June 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2019 Simply a matter of how small an adjustment I can physically make on the focussing ring. There's no computerised focussing on my camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to count the finger serrations on my Nikon D5100 when manually moving the focusing ring. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted June 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2019 My focus ring(s) are all too sloppy to move by such a small amount. Fortunately I don't do a lot of model photography otherwise I'd probably have to upgrade my equipment 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted June 7, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) There is much consternation happening at Little Muddle station at this exact moment in time. Mr Porter, the Station Master, is very concerned about keeping to his timetable with little else troubling him. However, Stan Masters, the porter, is trying to bring to his attention that there is more important things like safety to be concerned about than keep looking at his watch.... To add to this 'discussion' Mr A Bennett, who turns out to be a retired safety officer for the Council, had originally arrived at the station to catch a train but has ended up getting involved in the conversation about safety at work. Meanwhile oblivious to all of this, Arfur Rolla, is merrily getting on with his job.....painting the end of the horsebox black as suggested in a previous post whilst in the station His thinking is quite simple - if I fall of this plank then I get straight back up and carry on. Anyway, he thinks, by the time those three have stopped arguing I will have finished this end....! What on earth can be causing all these problems... Well this I know it doesn't look safe but surely if he just packs something between the plank and the pigeon basket everyone will be happy...….yes? Plus he has ensured the plank won't move by holding it in place with some very modern blue tac! See what happens when something gets posted that sparks an idea....

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted June 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2019 A criticism; let my state unequivocally that your modelling is quantum better than mine before I arouse the justified ire of your legions of supporters, but; the barrows should be parked parallel to the platform edge, not at right angles to it. This is because, should the handbrake fail, they need to roll along the platform and not over the edge. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the horse in the horsebox is simultaneously alive and dead, and we don't know which until the trolley hits the side, knocking the door open and quantum superposition ends?

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted June 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) You have a better understanding of it than me, Phil, Shroedinger's Horse! Which of course pulls Shroedinger's cart, enabling it to exist or not exist in several places simultaneously on Little Muddle, or even on different layouts. Or not.
