Switching Crawford Grain

Today, I played with photographing the layout. I tried different lighting techniques and did my first ever photo stack to get good depth of field. This photo is the result. I'm not 100% happy with the white balance in the shot but it's much improved over other shots I've taken lately. I hope to get to experiment more with the camera soon.

Dennis-

That's a good looking photo. Several questions- whose stacking program are you using and how many exposures did you stack? The Southern units in the far right background look a bit out of focus. The white balance looks fine, though I'm not sure what it looks like in person.

By the way, that GM&O unit really looks fantastic.

Tom,

Thanks for the comments. I did the photo stacking for that photo in Photoshop and used 5 exposures. The photos were taken with a point-n-shoot camera on manual focus mode which was a pain, hence the out of focus background.
