A quick one for today – shot yesterday at the local train-station with the lovely Canon 24mm f/1.4. Exif Info:
Not what you were thinking…. Another HDR from the Danbury, CT Railroad Museum. Exif Info:
Another one from the Danbury Raiload Museum. Exif Info:
I’m a big lover of fast wide-angle lenses and the glorious Canon 24mm f/1.4 is one of my favorites – I sometimes wish it would be even wider but there is no wider Canon lens at f/1.4. If I don’t shoot HDR’s with it I tend to use it wide open with a focus point really close to bring out the great bokeh that this glass produces. WARNING: If you are shooting against the sun – like I did – use the live-preview function of your camera to prevent eye-damage. If you are using your view-finder to look directly into the sun for more than a few seconds you can seriously damage your eyes! In addition, lying on railroad tracks for more than a few seconds can also cause attention…. just sayin’… QUESTION: Why was I not shooting wide open? Exif Info:
This is an 8-exposure HDR of the Goldau train-station shot right before the sky turned black. Exif Info:
This was supposed to get published on May 10 but I somehow didn’t click the Publish button – bummer. Getting really low can be an embarrassing experience – especially if you’re having your dog with you who gives you strange looks when you lie on the floor – but it provides a great perspective.
Danbury, CT has a great rail-road museum with awesome photo ops. Unfortunately it closes at 5pm in Summer and at 4pm in Winter so night shots are a no-go. The photograph below is a handhold auto-bracketed HDR picture made out of 3 exposures.
The train-station of my home-town has an important factor in the Swiss railway system as it connects the major routes from Basel/Lucerne and the one from Zurich with Southern Switzerland and Italy. I shot it just a few minutes after Sunset with the awesome Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 L Tilt-Shift Lens. I shot a total of 9 bracketed exposures 1 f-stop apart but ended up using just 4 of them to produce the tone-mapped version. I might do a tutorial about that specific shot if there is demand for it – just drop me a comment below.
I sometimes feel the urge to push the colors. It doesn’t always work but I think that subject was just crying for it. Tonemapped HDR created out of 3 bracketed exposures handheld.
