I'm pretty sure all of these are digitally enhanced, so don't feel too bad. I believe he has talked about his process before.
I have to disappoint you, Bryan, some of Dirk`s pictures are digitally optimised, but others I shot with my I-Phone. It is all about to catch the railroad atmosphere, which means that you sometimes have to leave the common positions and look for other angles which are closer to typical prototype pictures. Enjoy! Best, Sven
I give you an example: A typical Z-scale picture, zooming brutally in we can create the illusion of a big railroad Zooming out a little bit, it is still a nice railroad layout But in real life you are highly disappointed, because then it looks more like this: Thus, we Z-Scaler have to do a lot and have to have much fantasy in order to create a good illusion. All my best, Sven
