@palallin posted:If you look through older publications that feature articles on, or are dedicated to, loco pics, you will occasionally see a topside pic (taken from an overpass or tall lineside structure or hill) that calls attention to the topside details and the value the pic has for modelers since most pics are from low angles and lack such details.
Absolutely correct!
"One of these days" when I actually have a modicum of scenery in place, I too, will be shooting such pictures of layout "scenes". My hope is to try to make it "logical" as if standing atop a cut, overhead bridge, etc.
I think photographing a layout can be a hobby within a hobby for many of us, and I suspect that will include me.
Gotta' get my butt in gear and get my sky blue backdrops and overhead lighting in place this spring/summer so I can dabble with some scenery when the mood hits!
