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

OK the first thing to do is get the exposure correct. Your shot is drastically underexposed. That's why I wondered if it was supposed to be a silhouette. If you want bridge detail expose for the bridge. This is simple with a 90D. Aim the 90D on the bridge while holding the SS button halfway down then recompose. If you do want the upper part of the shot in correct exposure then you may need to bracket and stack.

Thanks EB

My new years resolution is to seriously up my game!

This afternoon I managed to get the Canon eos utility on my laptop and transfered all last years photographs across and the deleted around 40% of them...Ive got a great camera and must try harder. No excuses.

Thanks

"Ive got a great camera and must try harder."

First yes you do have a fantastic camera. It is the best cropper series Canon made and perhaps the best one anybody made. Everybody started at the beginning. Baby steps not long jump!
