[QUOTE="jkinzel, post: 209990, member: 16578"] Photos taken in the California State Railroad Museum are quite a challenge due to the directional lighting and the amount of people. A volunteer told me that several times a year they have a “Tripod to Rails” event that allows people to come in before regular business hours and use a tripod and equipment to photograph to their hearts desire. Due to the size of the subjects a flash is virtually useless and I have learned that with a my 10-20mm Sigma I need an external flash due to the shadow cast by the lens. Should you ever end up in Sacramento, California it is well worth a look. [URL="http://www.csrmf.org/"]California State Railroad Museum[/URL] My method of shooting: Brace myself against a solid object, hold my breath and shoot.
