For those of you that enjoy trains...

Wooooo....

Was this HDR by any chance? Looks amazing.

Well done Jack! I really like this shot.

Beautiful shot. Wondering about the HDR myself, although it does not have that "fake" look at all.

Wonderful color Jack! That D2x sure can deliver, along with your processing skills. Makes me want to get a D2x.

Thanks for posting, Terry

This shot's right on track, Jack

Cool shot. I see some people asking if it is HDR, I'm just wondering how one would get an HDR shot of a moving vehicle considering you'd want at least one overexposed image that would mean a longer shutter time and even bracketed bursting you would end up with three images that are different enough that they'd be hard to put together. Please tell me if I'm wrong as I love HDR and it would be awesome to be able to do HDR of moving subjects.

nice one as usual, with that special Jack Photoshop Obrien touch

Shoot raw, adjust exposure of one shot and save as three new files. One over, one under and one original exposure.

BTW Jack, Did you solve your "milky" LCD Problem?

Ooooooo.. NICE! That sky is poppin' and that yellow is bold!

Yowzers... this one is right on track! Fantastic.

Hey, you left some track in front of the train instead of having it almost running out of the frame. That looks MUCH better.

I doubt it's HDR. The shaded side is as dark as I would expect, and it's difficult to do true HDR on moving subjects. Most trains move at something like 40-50 mph, depending on class of track. This one looks like at least class 3.

a 3D train, fantastic image.

Thanks Avi! No, this wasn't HDR, I've yet to master the technique well enough to not look fake.

Thank you Terry, glad you like this one. I used my polarizer to help the already colorful scene.

and lucky for me I know it's on rails, and I know I've positioned myself safely, but I still have a huge adrenaline rush when shooting these behemoths. When I'm positioned on a curve like this, and looking through the VF and watch a train bearing down on me, I start to wonder......

I'm a sucker for train shots .... excellent job.
