Australian Railways; 80 trains an hour; CHDK

[awesome54331]

i was counting them i could see just before the comeng trains went straight in front of the camera there were 91 not 80

[Rocketboy1950]

@awesome54331 and how long did I say I was there for ?

[1SampaSampa]

Cool! What camera did you use? I´d a Nikon, but it felt down :( and now I´m searching for one which is able to do slow motions and and 2-12 pix / min. can´t find yet :(

Greez from Brasil!

[Rocketboy1950]

@1SampaSampa Look up Canon CHDK on Google, Most of the Canon non SLR types can use the software required. I used a Canon S3is for this. The software lives on the memory card and note the maximum card that will do it is 4gb. It will not do slow motion though you are going to need a movie unit for that and even then the time will be limited unless you spend megabucks, My Sony HDR-CX700V will do a short slo mo clip.

[Amtrak1194]

no long distance trains?

[Rocketboy1950]

@Amtrak1194 Just one long haul through this station and its only about 160 miles. The rail cars go about 100 miles. The long haul station is three minutes further west of here.

Where does the V/Locity go at 1:06? At Traralgon, or Bairnsdale.

[Rocketboy1950]

[TRAINZREELOAD]

[kj762aa]

the sad thing is, 80 trains an hour and nobody picks up the plastic bag...

[loookatme123]

@1:59 ahh hitachi must catch it

[spanner8585]

NO GC is right its a blue shirt there is no hi viz shirt... they only come in yellow green and orange not blue...

[Rocketboy1950]

You are right, in the clip you don't see what I saw standing there. He is wearing blue, the high vis vest ( compulsory for the location ) must have blown back out of view. The guy walked past me twice while I was taking the shots.

[breadrack]

80 trains, add one blind 999-year-old lady with a cane, FROGGER FTW!!!!

[skacannon]

[GC9010]

It is a person. They walk in front of it.

[AndrzejMastalerz]

Very strange. Machines live and people do not see.

[SchoolgirlCrush121]

That's so cool, they look like worms or something.

[mrterabyte]

[sdkfz7]

[8G5FM]

I counted 88 Trains?

[Rocketboy1950]

I said 80 in an hour, that was a bit more than an hour and you did well to pick up on some of the parallel moves.

[xxxxmickyxxxx]
