Sony cameras have some really nice sensors, IMO they won the CMOS Image sensor race. www.sony-semicon.co.jp/e/technology/imaging-sensing/ It also helps to adjust shutter speed and manually set exposure. The two Sony camcorders used are a PJ790 and AX-53. I also use a GOPro Hero 3 they have come a long way in their night shots, Someday I plan to upgrade and get a newer GoPro but for now I don't have the finances for new camera equipment. Also I'm not seeing Sony upgrade in the 4K market to where I'd be happy to replace the PJ790, it's an old camera that's like an EMD SD40-2. The AX53 has sadly been a huge let down.
@@wfvideos4099 I also have a Sony CX190 but the Image sensor is not as good as the prosumer/professional line-up. I tend to use that one for crossing shots and close track shots (as if dragging equipment takes it out oh well it had a good run. Still isn't a bad camcorder.) I've never owned one but I've heard decent things about Panasonic camcorders that are under $1,000 USD. I just am NOT a fan of Canon, I've tested both the Elura 100 and DSLR Rebel, once I switched to Nikon and Sony I never looked back. I highly recommend a Nikon entry level DSLR's (like the D3500)they shoot some damn good video too and it'll help you get your feet wet with working with shutter speed and manually setting exposure. Sadly since the age of cell-phones and new digital cameras the "art" of photography has been lost in a sense.
At 28:38 it looks like a guy got caught on the tracks! At least he turned around and got out instead of sitting there waiting to get hit like they do in those crash compilations
Hello, I thankyou for your video. Throughout the beginning days and till today of randomly rail fanning I have watched these videos. I love the way you capture rail road crossings and I greatly appreciate all of your years of filming! I do have one question. 26:35 to the left of this crossing is there a air field?
Thanks! Glad you still enjoy the footage. Yes it's an airfield. That is actually Lambert St. Louis International Airport, and McDonnell Blvd is named after the man who founded McDonnell Douglas now merged with Boeing which is located right behind the camera in that shot. Can see the building at 29:54 The crossing is close to runway 24 I believe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Lambert_International_Airport en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas
What camera are you using that films so well in the dark?

@@TrainmanKight Thanks. That's a little bit, actually a lotta bit, passed my budget. I use a Sony but it's about half the price of of yours.
