Time and age has it's impact on this hobby, just as it does everywhere in life, leaving all of us a bit more weathered. Some of us get burned out, needing time to recover
While others are as dependable as ever.
We are all so pleased that you are part of this later group, Karl.
Welcome back Karl. You have been missed.

Hi fellas,
I just want to thank you all for the wonderful "welcome backs" I've received from my friends here at the RRL forum. I only wish you knew how it has given me even more reason to ignore the setbacks I've had and look forward to, hopefully, continuing to work and enjoy the hobby that I've had for over 60 years.
Again, thank you all. You folks are the best.

Nice to see your work again.
Hi Lynn,
Thanks...glad you like it.
Actually, I'm using the camera I've had for some time. The only thing I've changed is to get rid of the hot lights and use daylight balanced LED and CFL bulbs. I still have 1200 watts of light but not the heat that the hot lights gave off. Much nicer to not work in an oven!
Right now, along with working on the tenements, I'm shooting over 50 locomotive portraits for a catalog I'm doing. Here's the setup and some samples.

Our little models really suck up a lot of light!
This is what I use to shoot all my model photos. It's a 24mm tilt/shift lens that allows for an 8° movement in each axis. The tilt gives increased depth-of-field without stopping the lens down to small apertures that can create ghost flaring (diffraction) off the iris.
Here's an example using an 8° tilt at F8.
Shot without the 8° tilt...
Shot with 8° tilt...
Another example with the 8° tilt...
Cheers!

Regarded as probably the best "Finescale " structure & diorama builder in the world, this latest creation is mind blowing.
I studied each wall, the paint work, weathering and final presentation using he's magic photographic skills.

Yep..it's my computer desktop wall paper now....

Ah! Your photo skills have not diminished at all.
All this eye candy once again on the forum. Who could ask for anything more.

Those tenements of yours are already more scenic-ed and detailed beyond anything I make Karl. You are both an inspiration and a tough act to follow!

Tilt-Shift lenses are fascinating, and the Rokinon puts them in the price range of 'merely expensive' :-) I have one but I haven't tried model photography with it yet.
