While waiting for the paint to dry on a locomotive, I decided to grab my camera and play around a bit. I shot these two black and white photos.
I call this shot “Showdown at Lake Tower.” A soon-to-be retired 2-8-0 stares down its modern replacements. I shot this one in aperture priority mode at f/36 to maximize the depth of field.
This shot was my attempt to emulate O. Winston Link. I shot this one at f/22.
Looks great

I love shooting in B&W and thanks to Photoshop or other similar programs, a basic digital camera can make great looking B&W. Here are a few from my layout.
really good! It seems like B&W photos bring out the detail better. Better not shoot mine in B&W! [(-D]
B&W, and our model loco…but not exactly of the layout.
I used a photo of our LGB (G scale) mogul and added it to a real train photo.
Here are some taken on the layout:
I really like B&W photos and videos. It helps to give the impression of age.
Very cool stuff.
OK here is my very first attempt at a BW photo. I converted it using Corel Paint Shop Pro.
This has always been a favorite of mine…

I used GIMP to convert this picture into b & w and added smoke to it:
I went a step further and added an antique look to my B&W photo. The loco lacks weathering, but I figured it could have been brand new when this photo was taken:
B&W is fun and it helps set the mood and the period. Here are a couple from my layout and website.
Another sepia shot.

No recent posts? Okay, how about this close-up of a Santa Fe 3750 series. Keep those B&W’s comping, fellas.
