I don't think one ever has, Trowse Bridge would have been a problem in the old days

 

August 2008 46233 on a Steam Dreams tour.

Rained if I remember correctly.

Superb in every way steam at night you just can't beat it.

Agree about steam at night and that's a good noise free shot, what camera were you using at what ISO setting? Whatever it is its impressive.

 

Hi John. I purchased a fabulous Nikon D750 back in September and I have to say everything that has been said about the camera in the photography magazines is true. The ISO for this shot and also the night time shot I took of the Duchess through Newark station back in October https://www.flickr.com/photos/10257146@N05/22024085123/in/dateposted-public/ ... were shot at ISO 5000. I also used a Nikon 35mm f/2 lens on both images and to reduce some of the image noise ran the shot through the superb Nik Collection Software - Define2.
Thanks for your kind comment and interest in the shot always good to get feedback.
Kind regards,Simon

 

Thanks for the tips, the D750 is remarkable .... In the right hands such as yours

 

Thanks for the info I've got a D800 and agree with what you say about the current Nikon range. The only advantage I have over the D750 is, with 36m pixels I can crop like mad if necessary. I must reprocess some of my night shots, I used photoshop noise reduction which I'm not impressed with and now use Neatimage as a plugin to PS CS6.

 

That is most kind of you to say so 26D_M. My D750 came from the London Camera Exchange on the High St in Lincoln which I would recommend to anyone looking for camera equipment. Good to shop local and also on the high st and the price was good also.

The D800 is also a fabulous piece of kit and agree with your comments about the current Nikon range. It was between the 750 & 800 last September but I really didn't need the extra pixels and the reviews for the 750 were all very good and still are in the current mags. I had been using the Noiseware CE to reduce image noise prior to the Nik Collection software that I now use.

 

Cold and dull int' north today despite what the Met Office said but the old lass was going well enough.
Seen HERE crossing the Aire & Calder canal.

 

Thank you Ralph for your comment that is most kind of you. It was a superb sight to see the Duchess powering through the station,I'm certainly enjoying the D750 it is far exceeding my expectations . Best wishes Simon.
