  • Do you use flood lights or how do you light your objects?

  • @hbdrummerms With flood lights, flashlights and sometimes overly large flood lights that painters use at night because the objects are so large or there is to much ambient light present in the location we want to shoot. It is not always possible to turn all the ambient lights off if I am in a somewhat public location ( train service yard- they are always working!) Check out my ebook on line at my web site. it is pretty helpful I am told...

  • looks really cool!

    but i'm not a fan of the steam, looks kind of fake to me

    but top job on the photo!!!

  • @hellenic300 Actually the steam was totally real. I exposed it with my very bright flood lights over about a 1/60 of a second and shot different pieces syperately in order to light each one as good as possible. It is the steam that ties the whole shot together I think. Think of the shot as 2 shots- left and right side. The steam pulls all the different portions together into one connected shot.....

  • How do you put the photos together?

  • @soiledmytrousers I stack them in photoshop

  • Looks awesome. Question though....With that many exposures, say you were to bump a tripod leg half way through the shoot moving the tripod from its original position, do you pretty much start over the next day?

  • *steam engine* train = engine + cars

  • @EricWilliamCurry oh i dunno to me it seemed like it had been added in from a stock image

    well like i said brilliant picture!

  • epic!

  • @soiledmytrousers I stack them on top of each other in photoshop. REad my ebook and it explains it all, tehre are a lot more questions to ask and I have and do answer them a lot also so I made a ebook. Regards... Eric Curry
