I'm a beginner photographer and have been struggling with depth of field on a lot of my close-up railroad photos, where only a small "depth" is in focus, and there's lots of unfocused areas, like this screen shot below.

Are there any tips or tricks with depth of field settings such that I could have got most of this shot in better focus?

Thanks,

Al

Hi guys,

I have a very simple and silly question, bit embarrasing really...

Over the weekend I have kitbashed my first structure, as opposed to building a kit via instructions. All has come out really quite well.

The structure is glued together for the most part bar windows, doors and roof which all need painting together with the main structure.

Do I paint first, glue later?

or...

Do i glue first and then paint?

The latter is more tricky but will parts stick together after painting?

Thanks!

Many of you know that my new 10 ft x 12 ft layout room is actually a multi-purpose room  The room also serves as my work office (I'm still fully employed) so I have to be able to do both work and railroading in the same space.  I am blessed with a work from home job and demonstrate software over the web.  I need little in the way of resources in that I need my laptop computer, a phone, and a small place to write.  I currently have a big conventional desk which will have to go (probably to a charity) so here's what I'll be using:

As Kenny Rogers once sang about Weekend Photo Fun, you got to know when to hold 'em, and know when to post 'em.  Time to post 'em!
