BCSJ III - Shooting Hot Trains, Vol I - Alcomania - April 2, 2010 - 1

Photo lights blaze and video tape rolls as a pair of BC&SJ Alco's enter Oakhill. Shooting video with the camera so close to the models suffers from the same depth of field issues as still photography although the smaller sensors in the camcorder mitigate the problem a bit. Lots of light is needed to keep the aperture small and the exposures reasonable without turning the gain up so high the image quality goes to pieces.
