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.
