The Magic of Scottish Highland Railways at Dawn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Up before dawn to photograph the Caledonian Sleeper and an early morning freight through Blair Atholl, I also catch a couple of night time Scotrail HST's and how I photograph moving trains at night.
An early start to get to Blair Atholl railway station for the Caledonian Sleeper followed about 15minutes later by the DRS Tesco liner to Inverness, the previous evening I caught a couple of Scotrail HSTs and I briefly cover a trick to photograph moving trains at night.

Thanks for bringing a little piece of Scottish soul to German trainspotters, what a great impression, thanks a lot👍👍😊😊😊😊
My pleasure, its such a lovely part of the world to visit, I'd love to revisit soon.
I am from Kolkata, india, and love to see this kind of signal. This old technology is Beautyful.
Thank you for getting out of bed so early, it’s horrible! Pulitzer Prize nomination
Many thanks, Mark, getting up early when i'm supposed to be on holiday - I must be mad.
I have watched this video before and now having just returned from Scotland, brought back my memories of taking photos at Blair Atholl station. It is an amazing place to be and great for photography with the mountains, the light, the signal box and the good old semaphore signal. Just love watching your videos
Many thanks Geoff, yes a magical place and I’d love to return and do a bit more exploring up on the Highland Main Line.
Wow, some wonderful compositions. Great tip at the end of the video where you took two photos, one at a high ISO as the train passes and then a second after it has passed at normal ISO speed.
Glad it was helpful!, it's a trick I've used quite a few time in low light.
I have been mesmerised by your channel Andrew. Highly inspiring and I love how you explain your shots and compositions. Can’t wait to see more!
Wow, thank you!
More stunning photos, love the colours! You certainly enjoy the golden hour, for a long time I refused to even get my camera out unless the sun was low in the sky! Wonderful stuff 😀
Many thanks, I much prefer the golden hour, but I do gravitate to the dusk rather than dawn, I've actually very few photos of dawn, probably because I find it so difficult to get out of bed.
Another superb film Andrew, highly entertaining.
Many thanks, Peter, greatly appreciated.
Nice video from Scotland Andrew. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Ronnie, much appreciated.
Another cracking video,the footbridge shots with the sky were awesome,
Thanks, Rob, I cant take credit for those shots of the dawn from the footbridge, all done by my wife!!
@@AndrewShenton looks like you trained her very well 😉
I've only just come across your excellent videos but pleased I have. Whilst I'm a point and press railway photographer I appreciate your photo knowledge. Look forward to more videos.
Many thanks, Tony and welcome to my little world of railway photography, keep an eye out there'll be more videos coming over the next months.
Great shots my favourite is the very last image
Many thanks, thanks for the vote on the images!
Thanks again for another brilliant piece of filming.Some great photo opportunities all around the highlands. Thanks for sharing always looking out for a new video. Happy new year and thank you
Many thanks Adrian and a belated Happy New Year to you.
Great video Andrew, just reward for getting up so early. Love the iso tips also. Such an inspirational photographer 📷🚂😊
Really appreciated Andrew, many thanks.
Another excellent video Andrew, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Darren.
Top tip re the ISO. Thank you. Great vlog.
Many thanks, Martyn, I'm pleased you found something useful.
Brilliantly video. Thank you for the night time tips I will give them a go.
Glad it was helpful, Matthew.
Very entertaining Andrew, a nice setting too!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian, it is a lovely spot, I'd like a few more days up here.
beautiful video as always, thanks :-)
So nice of you, many thanks.
Another great video Andrew!, Some really great advice there!
Many thanks, glad it was of use.
Excellent video Andrew
Many thanks, I was a lucky chap being able to get some railway photography in during the holiday!
Now if I did not know better did the good lady help you with the video? Excellent as always we stayed at the Blair Atholl Palace but did not tour the distillery next door.
Oh, yes, the good lady did quite a bit of the additional footage, she'll be wanting credit before long. I think we'll be back to Blair Atholl, a couple of days wasn't long enough.
@@AndrewShenton Beautiful countryside up there well worth another visit, surely she won't want the credit ! although is the good lady a good photographer like you?
Something very special about the time just before during and just after the dawning of the day, especially in that ancient part of the world.great shots as always Andrew!☺️
Many thanks, I should make more of an effort, I'm more of a dusk photographer - just because I find it so difficult to get out of bed!
Another brilliant video as always, Andrew. Love a good old HST. 👍
Me too, I do enjoy watching an HST in action.
5.45am sir nothing that mate hahahahaha am up at 3.30 for work and wow top vid andy
Thanks John, I don't envy you of that, mornings aren't my thing really!
Great shots there Andrew,love the footage from the bridge with the sunrise. I've got a trip planned to Glasgow in February for a change of photographic scenery
Many thanks, yes, that was a fabulous dawn break - enjoy your trip to Glasgow!
Happy New Year Andrew. Lovely film and reckon you nailed the Tesco 66. Was that a merged image as the shutter speed looks good to me! Always love night/twilight photography.
Thanks Andy, the Tesco 66 was a single shot, fortunately I didn't need to merge that one, with it being head on, the shutter speed can be lower, not as much motion blur as if the subject is side on, so I got away with it - just.
@@AndrewShenton I'd say you'd 'nailed it'! Lovely shot with the 'box and semaphores too.
Enjoyed the video and love the tip on nighttime photography 👍
Many thanks once again Simon, I am a bit of a sucker for low light evening railway photography.
Happy New Year Andrew! Again some amazing shots, a professional at work at all hours of the day. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Many thanks and a belated happy new year to you too.
Splendid Andrew, no bagpipes music in your library?
Thanks Andy, sadly or should I say thankfully no bagpipes!!
Ps happy new year
A belated Happy New Year to you too.
Enjoyed the video thank you and took note of the tip about taking two images to merge in Photoshop of nighttime shots. Just wondered though whether you can get a good enough alignment between the images if shooting them handheld; I guess you can!
Many thanks, Chris, when photographing hand held, I frame up a little wider to allow for any mis alignment between shots - the alignment is an automated process in Photoshop and it usefully does a good job, unless the two shots a miles out.
@@AndrewShenton thanks Andrew; that’s useful to know; I’d always assumed you needed a tripod👍🏻
Is there double line or single?
