Thanks for the comments.  I'm having fun with this.  I don't know if
anything will come of it, but it's fun.  gs

It seems that the car is standing there under the night sky... Now it 
begs a question - what is the scale of these stars above it? :-)

I often use the phone to take a "sketch" shot before setting up the

Excellent sketching, George. As Jostein says, looking forward to
seeing this develop.

Emne: PESO - Sidetracked - a macro with the phone

I saw these little coal hopper cars in the hobby shop and had to buy a
couple.  They are painted and lettered for the local power company
where I worked for so many years.

It grabbed a couple of sections of track from a storage box in the
basement and set this up on my kitchen table. The macro shot was taken
with iPhone from about 4" away.  I was surprised that it actually
worked. The lettering on those cars is incredibly small.  The cars are
only about an inch tall.

I often use the phone to take a "sketch" shot before setting up the
tripod and lights.  More often I use the phone to take a shot of a
location or subject I don't want to forget so I can return later with
more appropriate equipment.

PESO - Sidetracked - a macro with the phone

[George Sinos]

I saw these little coal hopper cars in the hobby shop and had to buy a
couple.  They are painted and lettered for the local power company
where I worked for so many years.

It grabbed a couple of sections of track from a storage box in the
basement and set this up on my kitchen table. The macro shot was taken
with iPhone from about 4" away.  I was surprised that it actually
worked. The lettering on those cars is incredibly small.  The cars are
only about an inch tall.

I often use the phone to take a "sketch" shot before setting up the
tripod and lights.  More often I use the phone to take a shot of a
location or subject I don't want to forget so I can return later with
more appropriate equipment.
