All the photos on this blog (including those from rock concerts) are taken with the same camera, a Fuji S5000. It’s not an SLR, but a so-called “bridge camera” with a built-in zoom lens. When I bought it three years ago digital SLRs were outside my price range.

I set the camera to 800ASA 1M mode, and took all the photos handheld without using flash, relying on the layouts’ illumination. Just about every layout had it’s own spotlights. Had I taken a tripod I could have used a lower shutter speed and got some better depth of field for sharper pictures.

Just out of curiosity, what camera are you using.
I’m presuming it is the same body as used for your 12-inch:1 foot scale railway photos, but perhaps different lenses?

Not that I know much of these things, but I’m having to learn quickly!
