wil9402 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Showing off In true Orion VIII style, none were taken with a tripod, but the steady hands and hat beak method. The last 3 were not taken at night, but rather in the dark of York Mills Station, York Mills Station and St Clair Station. Click thumnail to enjoy Are those fellow transit fans next to 7757?

Orion VIII Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Are those fellow transit fans next to 7757? They could be, it seems like one guy has a camera; they never said anything to me Hmm, who could it be? Airport Rocket? Neil? Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudbury_Transit Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I was out the other night and had my camera with me. The first one is of a new Nova LFS, 964 in the Tim Horton's parking lot, the second one is of D40LF 741 working the Barrydowne Cambrian. If I didn't have tinted windows on my truck, they both would of been a little brighter, but oh well, I tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YRT-Guy Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ok. Question for you all. It's not really transit related but this is being posted in the General Photography forum. Anyhow, any idea how one would take a picture of dark objects behind a dark background? Basically I got a couple of sceneries that look good at say 5:30-6am when the sun is just barley up yet but when you take the pic it's all dark and if you use a flash it's only the first few feet in front of you that light up. It's basically a farmland with some trees at the end of it. Any idea how you could make that work to take the picture of exactly what the eyes are seeing? EDIT: Anyone that knows the area of Kennedy Road and Bur Oak may know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a farmland with some trees at the end of it. Any idea how you could make that work to take the picture of exactly what the eyes are seeing? Sounds like the main problem is lighting. I would try to get an angle that allows the most light to shine on the object or in the direction you're shooting (the age old rule, shoot with the sun at your back). A quick example with a photo or two I have, one taken with the sunset at my back, and another a few minutes later shooting at the sunset. Also if you have a more advanced camera, you can set it to have a longer exposure or night mode to try and give the camera more time to capture the existing light. A firm surface or a tripod is handy to avoid camera shake/blurriness. That's just a quick suggestion or two, the techies with experience probably have more ideas/suggestions.

M. Parsons Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 A few from last Thursday. The blue cast to the sky is from removing the yellow/red cast from the buses/ buildings when I was scanning these are work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Admin A. Wong Posted November 29, 2006 Board Admin Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Pan with a fast lens or use a higher ISO (though this will make the image grainy on a digital camera). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Just a shot I took while wandering around Downtown.... It wasn't I guess totally a night shot... It was taken shortly after my shot of 320 that's in the panning topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Most of my night shots don't come out that great because the camera I mostly use sucks for night time pictures. Here's one that did come out nicely: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCW Metrobus Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Pulled off some damn near impossible photo-ops this evening in downtown Vancouver. I was after the NVTC Classics which are on their way out the door... and needless to say, getting photos of them involved resorting to desperate measures. I was surprised at how nicely they turned out. N4125 N4127 - panned! N4157 N4173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
