bluebottle Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think it was Jack Nicklaus who, after a spectator commented: "That was a lucky shot, Jack!" replied " Maybe, but, you know, the more I practise the luckier I get." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 This shot would have been a doddle at 6400ASA on a modern digital, but no such options on 5th November 1993! After waiting....and waiting.....and waiting, and with dusk closing in on the damp weather, I determined to get a shot of 31270 rattling down the Lledr Valley with a flask train from Trawsfynedd. With a wide open aperture and slow shutter speed, it was a case of splitting a slow pan between the train and the landscape. Shot on 6X7 with 400 ASA Tri-X..... 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted October 7, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) ^^^ How did you do that? Flash at the beginning of a slow shutter opening? I believe that is the technique as I have also seen this done elsewhere using the reflective GNER logo. It takes skill and good luck to be able to fire the flash at precisely the right moment and it takes a camera upon which the flash to shutter-speed setting can be over-ridden. Fine work.
