I'm certainly not a top class photographer but I do manage a good shot every know and then. On this page I would like to give a brief introduction to model railroad photography as I do it.

You don't need spectacular equipment to make acceptable photo's. I used a Pentax Optio S50 for many of the photo's on this site, a relatively simple 5 megapixel, threefold zoom digital pocket camera. One of the blessings of digital photography is that you can check the result almost instantly and you can make numerous photo's without ever increasing costs. So if you are not sure a certain situation will turn out right, keep changing circumstances and make shots from various angles and different lightings.
