Great shots! The TS really adds interestingness to a normally boring photo.

Cool stuff. They've got that miniature feel to them. I liked them all except the 1st.

These shots are always so interesting to me. Jacob pointed out that the T/S used on scenes like these make them seem like shots of miniatures, and I feel the same way. But I can't really articulate WHY this effect makes these scenes look like pictures of miniatures...

Clint--nice shots, BTW.

The average Joe taking a photo of his train set will not have a tripod, will not have proper lighting so his camera defaults to a wide aperture with the corresponding lack of depth of field. You must have seen these types of photos to make you feel this way. Personally they make me cringe, because it makes a terrible photo. But thats just me because I still remember the first magazine rejection I received back in 1987 for model train photos. I'll enclose a "correctly done model train shot. Its about 1 foot in front of the camera, the back wall is about 18 feet away.

Now even though I cringe I still like Clints photos, they are neat.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, John.

I'm planning on rentaing a t/s lens sometime soon. The only one I don't care for is the first, only because the focus is running "through" the image, and it just seems strange. The others are great.

The reason they have 'miniature feel' is that DOF on large objects from such a distance is impossible under most 'normal' situations. Your brain knows this tells you that the objects are smaller. The vantage point from above helps drive it home.
