Ted, great thread...first time I've seen it! Leave it to you to take the well-deserved lead on photography skills
I've take the easy way out lately. I have better luck using my Samsung Galaxy camera (5 years old now) than my 35mm SLR. I'm not a big fan of the latest windows version, but the photo editing software option is great for light effects and can easily convert any picture to B & W. With the simple movement of a bar, you can darken a picture or convert to B & W. I take most of my pics near dusk when there's a small amount of natural light hitting the layout from the basement windows...light up the buildings, hit the shutter, then adjust lighting on the PC afterwards, as needed.
A favorite from the summer "Benz" rally...
Dallas, I can recall seeing that "blue patch with stars" at Polk in '69...some great guys for sure!
I've used the photo editing on my inexpensive Motorola phone with good results .
Yup.......they lived under that Southern Cross..........great song lyrics too.
