Thanks, I haven't tried using my 70-250 lens on the layout. My camera is similar to yours, the T2i. I'll have to give it a try.Thank you,
the railroad is freelance somewhere in the High Desert and the Sierra Nevada in California.
The amera settings are for the first pic : F/36, 4 sec, ISO 200, focal length 150mm. The second pic: F/40, 10 sec, ISO 200, focal length 300mm and the third : F/40, 5 sec, ISO 200, focal length 230mm.
The camera is a Canon EOS450 with a EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III telephoto zoom, mounted on a tripod and the distances are between 11 and 14 feet.
If you like it, I`ve uploaded a movie to YouTube.

you may want to try changing the light type on the camera..It will help pull color into the backdrop to more of what your eye sees and it wont look so white, unless thats what you were trying to do...But they look great either way.. nice job,.
Thank you Kevin,
the original pictures were taken in RAW format and I tried to change the settings but there was no significant correction. I know it`s a problem when I take pictures on the layout because I have a fluorescent lighting under the ceiling. The best way should be taking the segments without the backdrops outside but I live in Switzerland and there is no place here with a landscape that is suitable.

Taking your idea in a limited way, I took these with max-zoom on the standard lens (70-mm) and moved back about 4 feet. Usually I take wider shots and crop to subject.
Maybe I should look for a longer lens soon.
