Hey John, thanks so much for your comments and many more pictures to come, just need to get a good day with some overhead sun for the overall shots as I get better depth of field. I have already taken a bunch of indoor close shots of the detailed scenes which look fine. More soon. Ken
In my (very limited) experience I have found that overcast but bright light gives the best truest colour pictures. Bright, full sunshine always tends to wash out my shots and give too much reflective glare from the model in most pictures. However, I am just a "point and shoot, auto everything" kinda guy, so I cant really give photography advice.
The results of the lighting in the shot you just posted looks pretty darned great to me.

What I am posting are some shots of the North end of Duluth at the open shed area I took indoors. The layout I came up with has the active pipe fitting, cutting, welding sharpening, etc. at this location. There is the general loafing area in back and the loading dock(s) area and then I made a junk area of old parts, and an oil/container storage area. Anyway, I'll describe each area as it comes up but for this round it will be the active work area.....
Here's a view of the work area. I put in a pipe storage rack, welding table, pipe cutting/fitting rack, scarp metal bin, and loafing bench!
Duluth has been converted to fuel oil so the old coal stove has been scraped.
Welding tanks secured, note the wrench hanging on the wall for changing the valves.
This shot is to highlight the wire fence, helps to define the work area...
Coil of barbed wire has the bend going the wrong way! I have since corrected...
This shot is in the back by the back deck. Explanation needed...There are some large pipes rusting away and part of the wire fence is being torn down. The old stakes with dirty ends are piled up, old fence being rolled up and the debris from the fence line being burned in the burn pile, gas can to torch things!
Crossing for the road going to the back loading docks. I had the typical cross buck white and black sign but it didn't look right (out of scale). I'll post more tomorrow.....Ken

JohnM, the lighting turned out OK for indoor work. I was happy with the "feel" it gave things as well...Ken

Scrap metal bin. Made from styrene and strip wood.
Close up of the pipe cutting rack. Cut end of pipe on the rack was left alone to appear like it was just cut and the piece that was cut off is on the ground below it...
You all said you like pictures!...just fast forward if it gets ridiculous....Ken
Shot of the steel welding table. Note the quenching bucket full of water and a metal drill bit stuck in to cool.
