These remind me of growing up!!! My dad was big into trains and especially model trains. I remember our basement and the huge setup he had down there. All laid out on two ping pong tables pushed together. Towns, mountains, forests with multiple trains running at the same time. It was sooo amazing the time he put into it!!
@Tsuga802 Great colors in these pics. Very nice compositions and use of negative space. I bet there is a ton of fantastic scenery in the deserts. I would love to shoot there.
I'm glad they brought back memories. Hopefully good ones. Thank you for the comment.These remind me of growing up!!! My dad was big into trains and especially model trains.

Seeing your train pictures is bringing back memories.
@LadyGaladriLezb I won't be. Not trying to be harsh with any critique. I'm hoping I can help.
You have to start somewhere. I can't begin to tell you how much I got wrong, and still do. The best part is that, even after doing this for over 30 years, when I go out and shoot, I still try to learn something. I am always trying things.
I've sort of temporarily inherited some really quality (if oldish) equipment recently, but I can't get my head around all the lenses. I guess take them all out and trial and error is best?
Trial and error is a great way to learn. There are also great YouTube videos about the equipment. Please let me know how I can help.
thank you so much!
Wow!!! That looks great. No I don’t have any photoshop software…I can barely figure out the camera on my phone lol. But I’ve always wanted to learn more about photography and possibly start using a real camera and not a phone. I travel and backpack a lot and am always snapping pictures. I’ll usually take my favorites and send them out to be made into glass prints.
Thank youWow, lot happening in this thread! Love it!!
@Tsuga802 from your photos and accompanying words, I can feel and smell freedom, obeisance and satisfaction. It's quite a pleasure. Thank you!
I think yours are great…I loved the bug in the dish earlier. Not being sarcastic I loved that one!!
the ichneuomon wasp? He was on my carton of milk lol
Sitka spruce on Mt Rainier, Washington. The resiliency and ability for trees to adapt to extreme environments never ceases to amaze me. This was taken in 2016 on a very old iPhone. I did play around with the editing features on my current phone to get better color and clarity.
