    Great capture of moving target with 3 exposures. Normally we try to avoid movement with HDR, but you chose the perfect subject. This gives a lot of inspiration and ideas.

  • LeighN replied

    Thanks Ray, I agree trains make good subjects for moving HDR, particularly the older suburban ones in Sydney with the corrugated metal sides, you get a nice sheen, almost polished look when the light strikes them. Glad you like the shot.

    Wow… that train is like a sleek shot of mercury screaming into the tunnel. As always Leigh, superb control of subject and light to give us a very powerful image. Thank you!

  • LeighN replied

    Thanks Jeff, I had 3 goes at this and this version I like the best. Trains were on a fairly regular basis so I played with the timing of the shutter speed and when to start the exposure sequence to get the best sense of motion in the train. This version when HDR’d really brought out the shine of the metal train body but completely lost the trains windows which I really like now, makes it look like a long metal snake or a shot of mercury as you said.

    Fantastic image Leigh, hard to believe that is a train on the right

  • LeighN replied

    Yep it’s a train, the fact that it’s moving has blurred out the windows quite well and the HDR brought out the shine in the corrugated metal body of the train. Thanks Jason!

    This is a great image. Obviously spent a lot of time thinking this one out!

  • LeighN replied

    Thanks Dusker, actually it was suprisingly easy, just have to get the timing of the induvidual exposures right, this was my 2nd attempt, first time around the train wasn’t moving fast enough to blur the windows etc. 3rd time station guard walked into shot!

    Ray is right … soooo inspiring!!!!

  • LeighN replied

    Thanks Lois… things moving can add some great effects to HDR shots, well worth experimenting with!

  • Sean Viertel

    Sean Viertel

    Mate this is awesome! The HDR is great, but I think the sense of motion form your long shutter speed is the feature. Nice work!

  • LeighN replied

    Thanks Sean :)

    Leigh, that’s a very interesting result. Static left hand side, yet its mirror in terms of ratio is a beautiful blur.

  • LeighN replied

    Thankyou David, glad you like it! I think using motion in HDR shots is something worth more exploration.
