I've been playing with my camera again! One frustration I have in photographing all my little trains is the shallow depth of field one always gets with n scale. So, today I made a small project of going the other way, and the result is the image above.
The locomotive is a Dapol LNER B1. I'm not really blown away with it's running properties but I'm reserving judgement till I've given it more of a chance. Right now major landscaping work is underway on the JaggyBahn and the track conditions are poor, so a full review is a long ways off. Anyhow, the image you see here is a stacked composite of 5 images, each taken with slightly different focus at a set aperture.
Full size image here.
Gear: Canon 60D, 100mm macro lens, F11, 1"3, 400 ISO, small tripod, Zerene Stacker software.
So obviously it's still not perfect, some areas are a bit soft and the dust (which was invisible to the naked eye) looks terrible. For my next attempt I'll go with perhaps 20 exposures and computer control to focus the lens.
