Where they put the trains asleep. 9 shot bracketed handhold (!) exposures processed in Photomatix and Adobe Photoshop CS5. Exif Info:
Shooting at night with a fast lens is so much fun. I took this photograph with the same lens I talked about yesterday – the Canon 24mm f/1.4. I didn’t have the tripod with me that night but I wanted to get a slight motion blur of the passing train. The rule of thumb I apply for motion blur is to shoot with the same shutter-speed than the moving subject is passing by in mph…hmmm – I hope you are very confused now because I would be. Here is what I mean: I your subject moves with a speed of 20mph, you shoot it with a shutter-speed of 1/20th. You obviously need to guess the speed if you do not have a radar gun with you but that shouldn’t be too hard. The train in the photograph was not driving by in full-speed but was rather breaking to stop at the station. Exif Info:
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.
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.
I shot this picture inside the train-station of my hometown while it was pouring rain outside. Due to the pretty high contrast scenery, I shot 8 bracketed exposures with 1 f-stop apart. What you don’t see here is that it’s a pretty busy train-station and many people were walking through the frame but thanks to the very small aperture of f/18 that caused the long exposures, they simply disappeared
It was a hot and humid day and I got caught up in a thunderstorm while walking the dog. Right after it cleared up a bit, I walked along the railroad tracks where I found this deserted freight car on a siding.
