A slow Friday at the Railway station.....


This one might please @Montfrooij as we know how much he loves trains.   The magnet mount on the lamp post once again appeared to go unnoticed which was nice.

Nice job.
How long did you film here?

Not too long,  10 to 12 minutes probably.  this mode is limited to 2s unlike motion lapse that allows 0.5 seconds between shots.

I wonder why they added these limitations.

Not sure,    they also change the focus between the two modes,   in Timelapse I can pick a focus point but in motionlapse it appears to only focus near infinity.

Ok, infinity sounds good for my timelapses.

Theres a thread in the products section where someone is complaining about it,  so you cant please everyone all the time.

I can see some applications for other focus points, but mostly I would capture landscapes.

Really nice lapse DA.    No doubt Peter will like.  

3 trains inside 12 minutes. Wow, that's a busy line

I hope he did.

they were all London bound,   and you may have noticed nothing in the opposite direction which seemed unusually quiet this morning.

Yes, I did notice that there were none going the other way

I never checked but I suspect there was a problem somewhere as thats really unusual.

I've just got back from the Photography group meeting.
My framed shots were well received.

Excellent,   the cottage through the bridge was the best one of the few your showed me I would say.

It was well received, particularly as everyone recognised it but hadn't thought of that composition for a shot.

Nice light trails

He seems to really enjoy anything train related.

I bet it was the shot framed through the bridge.

EDIT:  Nevermind, I just saw it was that shot.

Cheers Depp.   those 1 second shutter speeds are doing a great job.

You should re take it with the drone and see if you can better it.

Some say it's a disease you know.

I'd call him a railway enthusiast, railway buff or trainspotter.

Trouble is, the POV is only about 2-3 feet above the ground.
I think the drone would  autoland  whilst I would be trying to get it into position.

Blériot53 Posted at 2-10 06:44

Woohoo, good guess on my part.

trainspotter does have some negative connotations here.

If it does go into auto land just push the left stick forward and it will be cancelled,  you can practice that on dry land first.

Don't forget - I can usually only cope with one stick movement at a time
Mr.B could mean Mr.Butterfingers

Well then have a practice on dry land first and see how you feel about it.

Yes.  It would actually line up on the canal bank, I think, rather than over the water.

Sounds like an experiment or two is needed.

I'm toying with the idea of angling a plank on the bank, slightly overhanging the water. Then placing the drone on the plank and using it stationary, not flying.

Interesting how certain words here mean something totally different in other countries.

There was a guy that was promoting using the drone on a long selfie style stick in almost the same way.

Maybe not such an outlandish idea after all, then

Not at all,  just dont knock the board when its over the water.

I may take a huge elastic band, just in case
Or sellotape.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to take a precaution or two.
