Long Exposure Trains

Happy new year to you all..

I thought I would share an interesting take on railway photography - long exposure photos. I started experimenting with shutter speeds early last year, and having photographed one car trail too many, I took the concept to the trains on the local Severn Valley Railway.

See for yourself..!

Has anybody else tried something similar, I'd love to see.
Thanks,

I've done a lot around Worcester at night to get the best out of the light. My set is here:

Martin Creese (aka Sidmouth) has also done quite a lot as well:

really like the top one, might try some daylight long exposures

 

I think I used full -2.0 exposure compensation on that one, I was pleased with the result. Thank you.

 

did this one during our Ghost trains night at the PBR
