In-ko-pah RR - Trying out the new camera

Model Photography
#1

Did a few quick test shots on the layout yesterday, using my new Canon SD880 digital camera:

This next one shows my newest addition to the layout, a dilapidated blacksmith’s shop at the abandoned mine. All the “wood” is actually styrene.

The next shot shows the powder magazine at the Cliffside Mine:

The small size of the camera lets me get in a lot closer, for shots like this one looking across the wooden walkways on the Cliffside Mine:

Very nice shots Ray! looks like you have a winner there.

Yes those are good , but how will it do to take photos of models ?
Do you live near that mine in the pictures ? It would be great to try and model that mine .

They do look real (I gotta get me a decent camera!). I’m just a long time admirer of Ray’s work.

Thanks guys!

BTW, the pics were reduced in size and “optimized for the web” using Photoshop.

Tonight I want to try taking some long exposure shots by moonlight.
