Joe, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed viewing your thread. Your layout looks great and the photos are terrific. Look forward to seeing more in the future.
I agree its a very nice layout, well sized with some very nice scenery work. It also seems you have improved your layout photography skills too, very nice exposure and color on your new set of images.
I'm actually a good photographer outside of model railroading normally, it's one of my hobbies... I have mixed lighting over the layout (compact fl. and halogen) plus flash, always makes for some bad color balance. I went with the tripod on this set, and no flash. Made a world of difference. Thanks guys!
Excellent work Joe, I would say you captured the feel of PA spot on. The pictures look like the areas I have rail fanned in North East PA and NJ.
Love your work Joe! Thanks for explaining the water, I really like the look, first rate. Keep it up! Mike
Looks great Joe. The water is interesting, I will have to look for the Parks stuff. Keep the updates coming. JSL
Thanks fellas. I'm pretty pleased with where things are right now. I'll try to be a little more timely with photo updates going forward. Jim Wiggin: I hope it looks like PA, I've lived my whole life in this region! Still missing a big item: trees, and lots of them..
