Week 13, Day 88, July 27, 2009 Train Trestle Part II



The lighting was better, and I used a circular polarizer filter. I think this photo is better than the first one that I took. I also found out why the photo is loosing symmetry. There is a bend in the river, and the trestles left and right side are shifted from each other by about 3 feet. It appears to be part of the original construction because the concrete doesn't seem shifted from one side to to other.

Lesson Learned:

  • I think the biggest lesson learned is that I should have used the 17mm focal length instead of the 21 mm. The track looks longer and more impressive with the 17mm.
  • I didn't find the exposure that I liked the best of the photos that I took. I think a graduated filter would work better than the circular polarized filter. (This is more of a hypothesis than a lesson.)
Photo details: Exposure time 1.3 sec, Aperture f/22.0, ISO 100, Focal Length 21 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 34mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, tripod.
