I’ve been experimenting with some special lighting and other effects. Being rather old school, all the effects were done in camera…
Here we find a Pennsy coal train crossing a fog filled Barger Run, with the sun just coming up.
I placed the primary light behind me in the aisle, off to the left, and slightly above the level of the fascia. Normally, I light the layout from above. Although, you really can’t tell, I used a blue light directly over the scene to fill the shadows slightly. The fog was the trickiest effect and took several tries to get right. It’s a piece of bubble wrap I moved around in front of the lens.
I don’t actually own Photoshop (or one of it’s clones). As I said, being rather old school, I prefer doing as much as possible in camera. I use Adobe Lightroom for the little image manipulation I do. Basically, the techniques I previously did in a darkroom, I now do digitally with Lightroom.
Nice work
