The RGB and warm/white LED strips are dimmed to about 10%, the webcam has an auto brightness feature which gets confused then, there's no problem when the output gets above 30%, perhaps the influence of the controller pwm frequency ?

SD70ACs GREAT WET PAINT PICTURES FROM LINCOLN, NE DEC 2012
This was written and pictures taken by a friend.
It has been a while since I have sent a photo e-mail – time seems to pass quickly for me…which is a good thing! I have posted a number of images, but have not had time to send out any messages so feel free to peruse my most recent albums….
On with this story: Below are links to a few images taken at BNSF Hobson Yard in Lincoln, NE this month.

1st Homemade Pine Tree
Using balsa wood and caspia, this is my first attempt at making a pine tree. Seems a bit fat, but this should improve as more are made. (Thomas thinks it is a good start)
Further Progress
It has been just a few months without an update. I am still working on the rural side of this 4X6 layout. This is a shot of the cliff, stream and tunnel entrance.
