Once the pilot model for the O scale sawmill was finished it was time to take photos.
Brett and I spent several hours taking pictures of the diorama which resulted in
hundreds of photos and the task of sorting through them to select the ones to be used
on the web page.
The best photos were selected that told the 'story' of the model, many, many pictures
were rejected.
In this thread I will share some of my photos that weren't selected for the final cut.

Fantastic modeling and great pictures. These were the rejects Ha Ha.
I couldnt even take pics of a real sawmill that look that good.
Well Wes I hate to disappoint you but there is nothing involved about my picture taking. For the lighting we used the sun, mid afternoon low winter sun. The camera (for my pictures) is my small sony 'point and shoot' set on auto and hand held. It's a great little camera.
I'll try and post a new pic each time.

Thanks for the info on the pics. Real sunlight is sure nice.

Remember John, this is three people, Doug Ramos built the machinery for inside sometime ago, Brett and I worked on the mill.
Everything you need to know (and how to do it) is in the manual, as always with Bretts kits.
Well spotted on the wheelbarrow Ken, I'm glad it ended up where it did. There are tons of incredible castings in this kit, many many new ones mastered by Brett for the mill.
Hopefully I'll find some pics of some favorites before they were installed after we finished working on them. The tool cart, the wheel barrow and the incredible desk with books, clipboards, papers, heck Brett even went and put cigarette ends in the ashtray !!!!!

Having a shay on the tracks would have obscured many of the great details and picture angles of the mill we were taking.
Thanks for the post.

You can't be humble when you're great because it just oozes through anyway . . .
even if they don't have a shay in them..

Indeed Ken, it's one of those shots I personally can just stare at and examine every detail, from the simple hanging lights to all the bracing detail. From the tiniest remnant of white paint and the knot in the siding over the cabinet to the subtle tones in the loading dock floor. From the barely visible edge of the corrugated roof and full rafters to the...... well you get the idea, lots to see and discover in that shot.

The complexity of the right hand section of the picture is beautiful.
