These views were made using my FujiFilm XT1 fitted with a Carl Zeiss 12mm Touit. This allowed me to make photos of equipment in comparatively tight places, All these images were exposed with camera firmly mounted on a 3Pod tripod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for the image of the PRR B1 electric, the photos benefit from fill light from the portable LED lights. My next class is scheduled for Tuesday June 10.
