The regular steam service to Scarborough which runs during the summer has now finished, and the locomotive is waiting to move back to it's home base in Carnforth, Lancashire.
I've experimented with HDR in this shot. My camera will do HDR but the results don't impress, so I've tried a couple of programs on the computer and taken bracketed shots to convert.
There's a lot to learn, so I would welcome your feedback. I would welcome both negative as well as positive comments - I need to work out what I did wrong as well as right if I am to improve! Information about what programs / settings you use and any other info would be usefull too!
Ian, I'm no position to comment as I'm facing the same issues. Not even convinced that I want to go down that HDR road. Sorry, mate. I'm no help.
Like what you've created here.
Thank you Pyrrhula. Yes it is Scarborough in England - The summer steam service ran from York to Wakefield and Castleford before returning to York and then going to Scarborough in the morning, and the reverse route in the evening. On the HDR, I agree - lots more experimenting needed!
Thank you Tony. I have very mixed views on HDR. I think it's very easy to overdo it, but then, I do like some of the HDR that I've seen on this site, so I thought it was time to give it a try. I don't know how much I will use it, but it's good to try and understand the principles and see it's potential.
I think you mean David Shepherd. He was best known for wildlife paintings but he did some wonderful steam paintings. He also once owned two UK steam locomotives, and several British built African locomotives
I do love a steam engine, anything steam related actually! This is a great example and not often I am a fan of HDR but when its not overdone and used to enhance a photo, it works :)
The best way to learn is to do many things

Thank you Brian - I could have filled my project with steam this summer, but I've managed to resist the temptation!
Thank you Marie - it's been interesting experimenting with HDR.
Thank you Petaqui, glad you like it! I think I still have a lot to learn about HDR, so more experiments needed!
Thank you Roslyn, glad you like it!
Thank you Jessica - they do make great subjects to shoot!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it - I was rather late posting yesterday, so I'm not surprised that you missed it.

Thank you Bob - it's been an interesting experiment playing with HDR. It just remains to be seen how much I will actually use it!
Thank you Jen, glad you like it!
Thank you Sara - I too love steam! Glad you like the HDR in this shot!
