The night train....


Maybe one for our friend @Montfrooij - this was captured this morning with the Pocket 3,  due to storm Pia hitting the UK there was no chance of a safe drone flight.  So pocket 3 to the rescue.



Created with Osmo Pocket 3.

Any glimpse of a train will please Peter, I suspect.  But this is minimal, to say the least

Probably reflects my morning mood,    Especially as I missed twice the train coming towards me.

Yes. Not your finest work, if you don't mind me saying.

Nice lines!

I dont mind at all,     the idea was good but the execution wasnt up to standard.

Cheers Peter.

Cheers Peter.

You're welcome!

Seems like that train snuck up on you quickly. Good effort though.

Cheers.   It wasnt quite what I had in mind but we needed a shot for the day.

Better luck next time

No doubt next time you'll catch it sooner.

I probably could have waited a bit longer for the next one,  but after several crouching downs to get a shot or two my back said give up for now.

No doubt best to heed the warning that your back gave you. Still hoping that your back is better by the weekend.  Again, I hated the few backaches I got so I can commiserate with you a bit on the back pain.

Good news was I did manage to drive today,     slightly uncomfortable,  and bending is still hard but progress.

That is great news.  Hopefully, the hire car is an automatic so you aren't having to do a lot of shifting and clutch work while you back is still a bit achy.

hahaha,  No its manual and the clutch in it is terrible.   Infact on a freezing day it takes some time to warm up before you can actually get it in gear.     Id never buy a Kia if this is anything to go by.  

While the view of the train is not optimal, the B&W look and the unusual POV make it a bit more interesting. So I wouldn't say it's a completely wasted effort. And even though getting fantastic pictures is cool, I do think it's more important to listen to your body if it hurts or aches, as not to put up too much discomfort on it. I hope your back gets better soon.

Good use of black and white for this. A little faster shutter would have caught the train crisply.

Cheers H,    Its been a week now since I out my back out and its just getting bareable without pain killers .

Hahaha,  I had deliberately set the P3 to manual mode to dial back the exposure and get some motion blur.   Enough that I could hand hold.  The P3 seems to overexpose in dark environments.

good to know.

It's a bit of a pain if you try to Timelapse night to day as it starts off exposing too light.

It's fun figuring out how things work best. Once we figure it all out it gets routine and we have to buy something new to keep the thrill going.

Very sorry to hear that Take it easy and take enough rest, but remember that some exercise can also easen up the situation when taken with enough care.

Dang, that sounds like when they used to use hydraulic clutches on old farm tractors.  Wait for it to warm up a bit then it worked fine.

Indeed,   I cant stay still for too long otherwise it gets worse,  it's best to keep moving but just gently.

Not sure about this car but my other car uses the same brake fluid reservoir to operate the clutch.

Got to dig out my old Canon 5d mk4 later,  I just remembered it had a feature I never used that I want to experiment with.   IIRC it can take multiple exposure shots.  

AEB adds a whole new dimension.

BetterBizTech Posted at 12-24 04:35

Not AEB,   multiple exposures on the same frame,   like if you took a photo on film and didnt move the film on and then took another photo.

Same thing on 2 of our old farm tractors.  It used a combined oversize reservoir.

Yes 3 to 5 shots auto bracketing for shutter or aperture.  I was just wondering if you preferred it lighter or darker.

Not bracketing,  it literals exposes one shot on top of another so you get a blend of 2-5 shots.
Here's an example of it blending 2 shots

Oh, ok, iI have never done that. With over 400,000 pics I've taken I have never tried it. What would you put over the pic?

Nice shot by the way.

I saw one the other day where the first shot was a lady in silhouette and the second was there pattern from a leaf,  it was really effective,   although I bet I could do better in photoshop in post,  but then  that doesn't have the magic when things work nice.

Yes, the balance in it can be tricky to figure out, but very vital.

Indeed and then if I do too much SWMBOd shouts at me.
