Douglas, My friend Steven was asking me if I knew how to use a camera. He wanted to make a series of photos. He did purchase a really good Nikon digital camera was used but in great shape. I remembered your video. We watched your video he took notes and then he decided to give a go himself. I have seen some of the images. I told him great. He laughed and said that he still needed more work on both his layout and his photo editing . He's currently adding a blue sky backdrop to the layout. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for being there so we both help a fellow modellers. Take care and all the best to you and the family. Till next time.
Great video Doug. When you talk about the angles of taking the pics,ive always noticed just watching the trains run around a layout can look so different if you sit lower down rather than standing.
Great video, nice tips for beginners. I'm going to crack out my tripod and lenses when I've got more to photograph, for now I'll stick to my outdoor landscapes and such I take in my other hobby as a photographer. My ONLY what the hell moment was when you put the milk in your tea WITH the teabag still in the mug. On topic again I use my phone camera more recently as Its easier to grab a quick snap of something when needed. Hope to see another tutorial tuesday soon
Doug, you certainly know your iso from your elbow, have you done photography at School? because you have it spot on, if your trying to catch super detail to avoid camera shake at long exposure I would always use a small tripod if there is room
Thanks, haven't done it at school but I love wildlife photography so I have got pretty good at the complex settings. Yes, tripods are always useful if there is room.
I use a Nikon SLR and Macro lens, a Samsung Note 8 and a Samsung 360 VR camera. They all takes good photos. It's all about who takes the photos, rather than the equipment. That just reduces the chances of a disappointing outcome. Editing 360 VR photos to remove backgrounds is a challenge.
Hi grate video well thought out just one thing if you are using a camera be very cerfull of the neck strap this may catch on the layout or rolling stock
I would disagree with your point about setting your phone to widescreen. Choose the ratio with the highest resolution as all the others are doing is cropping your photo. You can easily crop a photo afterwards but you can't uncrop a photo.
