Some model train shots from the county fair. C&C appreciated.
#1: I also tried to get some shots with background blur, but I only had a monopod (no panhead tripod), so I only succeded in blurring everything.
#2: The detail on this steam engine is just amazing.
#3: I wonder about the crop on this one. I needed to get rid of a lot of ugly clutter at the top (off the end of the table), but didn't have much clone area to work with, so I just cropped it out, then darkened and blurred the rest. This crop does chop off a lot of the buildings, though.
#4: A small amount of motion blur is visible on the train, which looks a bit odd from this perspective (to me, at least). Any opinions on this? To me, it just looks a little shaky, but the rest of the image is sharp; maybe I should try to enhance the motion blur a bit?
