Photographer Needed!!!

Tank · January 01, 2012, 10:53:28 AM

Morning ladies and gents.....and Newportnobby.

I need help from you! I would like to extend the logo at the top of the picture with a close up of 3 or 4 loco's.... e.g. Steam, Diesel, Electric, possibly EMU, all in N Gauge.

A staggered photo of the sides of them all, and the front ends....at ground level. Does that make sense?

A little like the picture below, but lower down, and more to the right. I would do it, but I don't have any steam loco's.

Does your current camera have macro and/or supermacro?

I can take close up photos of bogies (full frame) but you need supermacro for this

I also don't have any steam loco, the nearest "range" combination I can get :
Class 91 (electric loco)
Class 37 / 47 / 56 / 60 / 66 (diesel-electric loco)
Class 158 / 170 (DMU)
Mark 3B or 4 DVT
Class 43 (HST power car)

I am able to use a dedicated macro lens for my DSLR camera, but I really wanted someone to cover the main time periods (obviously it's hard for people to cover the early days of steam)!

Please feel free to do a photo the best you can. I might make a few title pictures and have them on rotate if they're clear enough.

Cheers!

Mine are all modern diesels - don't think that would make for a very interesting photo! I could do something with my Western, L/L Class 37, Triple Grey 60 and one of my 66s so at least there's a bit of colour in it.

OK, that would be great Chris! I thought you had a steam loco?

I must have been thinking of someone else! If you could do it with a white background to, that would be ace, as I want to cut out the background out of it.

Have some steam but not the photographic skills or equipment.
Small loco's only.- got a british body on my Trix 0-6-0 now,Union Mills 3F in BR Black, Japanese C11 until sold.

I've had a quick go, see what you think...

I had a steamer for a short while but that was sold to pay for the Western, and it didn't seem to like my pointwork much

I'd like to get Tornado one day though....

4x2 - the last picture is just what I want, BUT, can you have the loco's facing the other way please!!!!

A shame about the camera Oldman.

Also a shame about the steamer Chris.

I do have a couple of really old Farish panniers somewhere. I suppose that could show progression on the hobby in terms of the manufacturers!
