Western Railroad Discussion > Fun with motion blurDate: 11/28/24 01:04 Fun with motion blur Author: santafe199 I almost deleted this image on the spot! But then I remembered a few years ago vowing the NEVER delete anything in the field. Always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS wait and do it at home! Only AFTER I’ve had a chance to see it up on the screen
And then I accidentally knock the selector knob to aperture-priority. Click. I knew something was wrong when I heard the lens mechanism stay open a lot longer than it was supposed to. In this case it was ¼ of a second. But hey... with an ISO set at 800 I got an aperture of f14. Completely wasted depth-of-field. That high interest utility pole <gag> sure looks sharp, huh*... :^( 1. & 2. BNSF 5480 is eastbound with a manifest @ 5:27 PM. 3. 2 minutes later here’s the end of the train, with my super-blurry mistake. I guess I can just take it or leave it... 3 photos taken November 15, 2024 at Ridgeton, KS. Thanks for peering in the dark! Lance Garrels santafe199 *Ah yes, as Mr Gump once said: “$#!+ happens”...

I like its minimalist abstract feel.

I have a huge hard drive so once they are there I don't worry much about deleting but I sort sort them into a sub-folder of, call it a recycle mini-bin!
The first shot is good for a low loght, the last one sort of a slow motion still-life. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! As one gets older you have more things to be thankful for. Gonut Date: 11/28/24 11:15 Re: Fun with motion blur Author: RailRat Great stuff Lance,

Indeed it was Smoky Robinson & the Miracles. I believe the tune was covered, probably more than once… Posted from iPhone Added from home: The Miracles', tune: I Second That Emotion broke intom the Billboard Top 40 in November of 1967 and peaked at #4 during its 12 weeks on the chart...

Actually, it turned out to be a pretty cool motion-illustrating scene, and you can always fall back on the easy excuse "that's what I wanted to do" to show it! BTW, that's a really nice IOTD shot as well... JG Date: 11/29/24 18:56 Re: Fun with motion blur Author: santafe199 jgilmore Wrote: > … BTW, that's a really nice IOTD shot as well...
Thank you, sir. A very nice compliment for a sequence I never planned ahead of time… Posted from iPhone |
