[PHOTO] Garden Railroad - Phipps Conservatory - 3
G-scale garden railroad layout at Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA. The locomotive on the short line approaching the bridge seen in the previous shots. Working with "manipulating the depth of field" aka blurring the fore ground foliage with the focus set on the locomotive coming through the cut in the forest.

They do the same thing at the Bronx Botanical Garden around Christmas time. They have several rooms in the conservatory decorated with buildings, bridges, and statues made all from plant matter with model trains running through the whole thing. The biggest bridges span the pedestrian walkways.
Furthermore, the focus looks good here, as if you are looking through the close branches at the approaching train.

It's nice. It could use some saturation to make the colors pop which this photo would benefit from and maybe that bit of gray in the far background you could compose out of the way next time. Oh, and i gotta say since it's my field and all, but technically focusing past the foreground with the branches is called manipulating the depth-of-field not blurring them.
But good photo regardless of my ranty nature, it feels very fragile.

Thanks for the tips and the correction in terminology. I mostly use the camera at cons to take photos of fursuiters while in suit. This was the first time I'd actually gone out to mess around with light settings and manipulating the depth of field.
I tweaked the original in Lightroom just a little bit with auto settings to lighten the photo and get the red and greens to pop a little more.
*Hugs*
I really appreciate the tips though.
