I under stand, that is why I noticed it. I put in a steel girder bridge
over a vehicle road on the ground level NG section   of track andhad to
raise the track to give the bridge road clearance. This meant also raising
about 10 ft of track and I ended up with a kink at the bridge like
yours,--'twas a hell of a job to correct and  there is still a very slight
hump. Also had to raise a station a few inches and part of the vehicle road
to accommodate the station --back breaking work--ouch! 'Tis done in time
for the club meet next Sun-phew!

Great shot.  Love the depth of field and the steam plume.

there was a better depth-of-field one, but no plume ... my sense, 
though, is that what professional photographers who shoot miniature 
are attempting to get is *no* depth of field; in other words, 
everything should be in focus ...?

Dave,

Good photo. And good to see that Northern California saw some steaming 
in the today's gorgeous weather.

Your lack of depth of field is very artistic. In the Orson Welles/ Citizen 
Kane tradition, maybe.

 Great Pic Dave,   I love it just the way it is--everything very clear
for my foggy old eyes. Is that a kink in the track-or is it my eyes
(pick-pick!!)

Thanks for sharing.

Geoff.
