The Sundowner Ashey Express
LR-0803-3-4 - Had a bit of time to work on a couple of shots taken at the end of June. Back to the Isle of Wight steam railway, but out in the country this time. There is a previous posting of the return journey to Havenstreet (see Night train. The above posting concept was from two shots as I missed the train and the sunset as dinner was slightly more important.
Version 4; camera mounted on tripod over the other side of the railway fence
Shot 1. Sunset shot taken without the train about 30 minutes before train was due.
Shot 2. The train (the best of 7 shots), then converted using ‘creamtone’ and loaded into PS, extracted with the magic pen on a 50% grey background and overlaid on shot 1. (Disappointed the camera had moved a millimetre or two so realigned to match the background. Retuned to Lightroom and colour and light tweaks, dampen down the joins. Returned to PS along with a slightly re-tweaked train magic brush extract, train overlaid on to the image from the merge in shot 2. Back into Lightroom 4 for a final tweak to the light on the carriages and engine.
Perhaps dinner could have waited !
