Downsizing My Empire: How I Shrank from a Midsize to a Small Switching Layout in the Same Basement
This is a forum post showing how I went about reducing the size of my HO scale model railroad layout. The process took a little over a year, required a lot of thought and planning, and now I feel that I am at the right size that matches my lifestyle. At the same time, I decided to adjust my model railroad prototype while keeping the central theme. I’ll explain everything that went into this and show what the layout looks now. I hope this post shows that you don’t need a large layout for your dream layout and that small layouts can be fun to build and operate as well.
New iPhone adjustable depth of focus feature AFTER picture taken
I was watching the Apple Special Event today and the announcement of the camera features of the iPhone 10s. You can now take a picture and, even if the background is blurry, you can adjust the f-stop on the photo you have taken and the pictures software will let you adjust the depth of field. You do not have to take multiple pictures and knit them together in Helicon focus or similar software. One picture will do, and the adjustment is done in the super fast processing in Apple's new A-12 64 bit processor.
