    Model train meets real world. Train crossing Middlefield CT.

    An Atlas model railroad N-Scale, 1:160th, Conrail GP-40 locomotive from the 1970’s with freight cars was photographed in my studio using a Nikon D7100, Nikon 105mm F2.8 lens. The train consisted of 62 images all at various focus points and merged into one final photograph using Helicon Focus Stacking Software. I also photographed the railroad crossing and old building at the Middlefield CT train crossing on West St. Using Photoshop CC 2022 I merged the miniature train image into the real life image of the Middlefield train crossing to create this image.

    Barn – Middlefield CT

    [wzslider height=”800″ lightbox=”true”] While traveling through Middlefield CT as a field sales rep. I happened by this working farm on my way to an account.  I fortunately had my equipment with me and quickly pulled over to take this photograph. The family dog ensured that I did not set foot on the property as he delivered a rather convincing growl. I simply framed the shot, while momentarily parked on the side of the road, while in the drivers seat of my car. Photographed with Nikon D7100, 18-55mm lens, 1/100 sec; f/16; ISO 100.
