Late Night at Staverton

 

After a long but rewarding day at the South Devon Railway we had a short night shoot down at Staverton, but instead of putting the camera on the tripod i thought i'd push my camera to the limits, afterall i'm still very much learning it after switching. So i went handheld, cranked the ISO right up and hoped for the best, and i must say it perfromed and excelled my expectations! This is at ISO6400 1/10th, yes there was a bit of noise, but that was bought back in CS6, to be honest not a lot editing has taken place on this one. I have posted both so you can see the colour version doesnt really suffer either :)

 

Big thank you to a certain Mr Robin Coombes for opening my eyes to this, yes there are times when a tripod is useful and handy to have but for grabbing that shot i think i'll be trying handheld again at night

 

So here we see 4566 resting at Staverton as the driver the station porter have a quick chat while waiting for the road

 

 

 

All the best

Matt :)
