A_S Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I remember the previous threads being in the wheeltappers section? Perhaps that would be best for this thread so it gets more exposure (no pun intended..!) I'm not sure when Autumn officially starts but these are all from september: IMG_0683 as Smart Object-1 by Andrew_S84, on Flickr IMG_0666 as Smart Object-1 by Andrew_S84, on Flickr Love this one but it is a shame about the noise...

Jaz Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I love all the seasons, but the trees are gorgeous if we get a nice indian summer, the later summer helps the trees and sugars with the yellow and red leaves. we also benefit from some lovely skys............. red sky at knight sheperds delight............ salix britensis also salix britensis but with more shelter and not so late in the day parrotia persica. If you modelled these prototypes people would say, "You never get that colour in England." but there they are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_S Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Felt like Autumn for the first time at the park this evening. I snapped this as I got back to the car.

Jaz Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 A_S I like the mist, you always know the temperature is changing when you see the mist.

A_S Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks - it is just a wooden post. There is a slipway (if that is the right word - a ramp into the water for boats or canoes) and I presume that is an old post on which boats were tied up.

Andy Without getting into any debate about Canon products, I sort of have to disagree Andy: very gently. These are simply lovely landscapes, great colour effects etc. Yes, I have gone to Flickr and looked at full size images to see the noise. It is just that (with reference to our comments over on the trains at speed thread) the resulting "grain" is nothing against what might have come from using HP3 film a generation or more ago. We should count our blessings that you can get results like this really, don't you think. I wonder if you could name anything which could do better: for example do you have experience of a Nikon product. I don't mean in those comparative tests on the web but in practice? Anyway, I wish I could do as well! Still using my "old" 450D. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I wish I could do as well! Still using my "old" 450D. Richard No problem at all Richard..! Perhaps I should count my blessings in regard to past options - that is something I have no experience of unfortunatly (lucky enough not to be old enough..!) and I can only compare against the general consensus and reading product reviews of newer equipment such as the 5d MkIII 70D/6D which all have significantly improved noise performance. A lot of the review websites such as DP review or photozone.de do a lot of side by side and graphical comparisons to make a judgement. The 7D is a known low performer when it comes to image noise. This is partly because of its high Megapixels on an 1.6x crop sensor partly because technology has moved on as this is a 2009 camera. It was not a problem when I mainly shot sports with fast shutter speeds but it really is accentuated when you take exposures of 1 minute or more and I am finding that is the limiting factor of my photography now. The only other method of comparison I have at this stage is looking at pictures taken with similar exposure times, similar ISOs etc on Flickr and I appreciate that these are very much subjective with regard to the post processing done etc. I will be going on holiday with a friend in the near future (time not decided yet) to the lake district in order to shoot some landscapes. He has (IIRC) a Nikon D3X so comparison will be interesting at that time. Technique does come into it too - I'm learning at slightly over exposing in the fading light, by perhaps half a stop and always shooting at ISO 100 (maybe stretch to 200) is helping, plus there is an on camera feature called long exposure noise reduction where the camera will automatically take a second exposure with exactly the same settings as the original but against the back of the shutter curtain. It then subtracts the noise from the original - but obviously that means double the exposure time for 1 image and when its a 2 minute exposure for the clouds or because of the light conditions it is a pain. It also doesn't help that my "big stopper" 10 stop filter is (through testing) closer to 11 stops than 10, so when I use it if its a 2 minute exposure at 10 stops its 4 at 11 and that limits your options to increasing the ISO (or compromising the apature). My only other 2 filters are a 2 and 3 stop - stacked 5 stops which gives you 5 seconds or so. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Like them all, the first one having the autumn colours and the 'fast' train passing is very arty. Interesting with the speed limited? Does that mean HST can do 100 but anything else restricted to 90? Is that common? Hopefully being more Model Train orientated will encourage more. The mist is another great feature associated to autumn (and spring) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, yes and yes. Fairly common, and the definition of HST may include more than just the Inter-City 125 as they were once known. Differential speed limits I think is the term. Sometimes for freight versus/passenger, other times certain types of passenger train versus others. Here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered how people know (accurately) when and where to be to see steam on the mainline. I was leaving work for a hospital appointment last wednesday and when when I went over the railway bridge at Water Orton in warwickshire I saw a bloke with a camera and a few kids looking over the bridge - a bit further on I saw a trail of smoke and I later checked uksteam to see that it was Britannia (although the times quoted on the site were 10 minutes before i passed the same section) travelling from tyseley to the south.
