A Few Photos (1 Viewer)

Thanks guys!

KV the camera is a 9 year old Nikon 990 Coolpix. Both the 1812 and Monongahela closeups were f2.5 @ 1/125 with flash. The Whaleboat was f2.5 1/60 with flash. All 3 were taken in automatic mode so just letting the camera make these choices.

Reducing the size of the aperture diameter, which is specified as the f-number increases the depth of field. The depth of field is that part of the image that is in sharp focus. The larger the f-number the smaller the aperture diameter and the greater the depth of field. Increasing the depth of field reduces the amount of light to the focal point. So if you want all of the image captured in sharp focus, in manual mode you use the largest f-number your lense and camera will allow and very good lighting.

Many new users of digital cameras are not aware that all digital cameras have shutter lag - Which is the time from when the shutter button is pressed until the image is captured. So you must hold the camera rock steady until the image is captured to get a sharp image. This varies by camera so just wait a second or so after you press the shutter button before you move the camera.

These 2 photos are small, but have a good depth of field although some of it is lost to some major cropping . . .

A couple of new photos this morning .. I should have the 2nd whaleboat early next week for some photos with the other items in the series. Looking forward to seeing if I can get the two whaleboats, jetty, the cabin and some Rangers on one of these shelves.

Very nice photos and collection.

I was kind of surprised that we didn't hear anything from Sierra on JJD new releases for next month.

 

[lenswerks]

Thank you.

I was looking back and saw where in the past four months they were posted on 10/21, 11/12, 12/16 and 01/14 so maybe we'll see something early next week.

Looks great absolutely love the way you have it all displayed in those Ikea bookcases!

Thanks guys.

Jeff the case is 3 wide Ikea Billy bookcase, not deep enough for a wardrobe.

Looks terrific. Where did you get the stump and axe?

Thanks Randy!

The stump with axe is from Britains 17918 Wood Shed set and in the background are one or more stumps from Britains 17910 Fallen Tree and Stumps Set.

Both your collection and display are marvelous. I am both envious and inspired!

 

[lenswerks]

Thank you!

I recieved the second whaleboat and jetty today, but am having a bit of issue getting the cabin, Rangers, Jetty and both boats on a shelf without it looking too crowded.

I'm so jealous, what a set up, Michael

Great shots Donnie. Everything looks terrific.

Thank you Brad and Michael!

I've been playing with the Whaleboats trying to arrange them on a shelf . . .

LW,
What a neat shelf(among all the other shelves you have)! Maybe a blue craft paper underneath to indicate water(and tan paper for land) and make this baby pop?

Great photos, I've got to get that cabin (close-up in thread #26), I can't make one that good, Michael

Two boats are so much more impressive then just one. Wonder what three would look like. If I am not mistaken, Mr. Jenkins had mentioned that he might do one with a sail. That would be a nice addition to the fleet.

Three boats would be fun.

The shelf is 10-1/4" x 30" - The boats are 11" long and the jetty is 14-1/4" long in two pieces. Oar tip to oar tip is 9-1/2" wide.

I had planned on using 1 Ranger Hut with the cabin, but not enough room.

I may end up moving everything over to a cabinet with a larger shelf depending on future releases. The 2 images of the BBG displays are in one of these larger cabinets. It would really look nice to use several of the Huts, more Rangers and few Stockbridge Rangers.

A was thinking that a few ducks around the waters edge would be interesting.

I take the 1st week of March off work for Bike Week each year and did this year as well. While I was off I decided to sell off my 200+ piece Dragon Armor collection with some success. It seemed I spent most all week packing and shipping Dragon Armor. I did find time to install two more Ikea book cases on the opposite wall. All space in the three on the other wall were either planned or complete.

I received the BAL-02 – Another great set!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful looking collection and photos .. the Ikea white cases sure brings out the color of your army. Personally, I am looking forward to JJD's gun team .. and the wagons set next.

Thanks OD. Yes, the white cases reflect a lot of light and make everything pop out, taking nothing away from the display.

Too much empty space here, need some more VM. The additional wagons are neat ...
