EOS 90D HDR or Multi Shot for train photography

[Ramsden]

Hello from a snowy North of England 

EOS90d to hand and a new ef 70-300 IS USM just added. The attached photo was with my kit  135mm lens and I intend to take more railway + infrastructure. So I know some guys say switch off HDR probably because of its 'automatic' nature.

So I'm planning more viaduct shots and wondering about using multiple shots and learning to use bracketing. I still intend to mix freezing the train and blurring. Up to now the blurrs havent worked very well - more of a smudge! I learnt to use manual focus and try to work in M as much as possible.

So basically, will multi shots help or hinder in this process.

Thanks

Hi EB

Thats a great shot and I've noted your points. This takes me back to composition and what's important in the shot. I'm going to take my time and probably take less photographs. Also I've just taken delivery of a hard back copy of Understanding Exposure - I had it on my Kindle - but its better with the book in front of your eyes. 

We're bracing ourselves for -12° tonight and tomorrow - and I'm going knowhere with camera in hand. Hopefully be in touch in a few days.
