I took roughly 450 stills each day, very little bracketing, due to the mobile nature of the subjects. Going through the images only 3 from the D300S made the grade. That compares with 78 images from the D3 which I have picked and processed to submit to Graham for weeding, hopefully some will be useful.

Robert my video footage is spot on as is your GoPro and Chris's drone footage is to die for so no problems from any of us that were in the team, that you were part of. We will have a super new GWP DVD/BluRay Film thanks to all. PS Robert liked the railway so much that he has signed up to work part time in the engineering workshops!

Here is one of my Video still frames from my Pro 4K Sony Camcorder from my footplate filming trip. Robert also had GoPro on front of loco and Chris Munn was drone filming for us. We all got stunning images in the super weather. Passing Northern Rock from the footplate of "The Train from Spain" and Irton Road on the R&ER Cumbria.

Without getting too technical I think one of the reasons the D3 did so well was because of it's lower but adequate pixel count. Your frame shows 'Northern Rock' rocking! there is considerable movement in these railways, rocking and shaking to some degree, the higher the definition the more it shows in the image. Steady-cam and VR can only steady the image in the camera, if the subject is moving too, one has a problem. That's one reason why the D300S images were nearly all rejected, due to subject movement causing unsharp images. The D3 and D300S both have similar pixel counts per image but the D300S is effectively denser per frame due the the smaller sensor, therefore it's 'fussier' about subject movement. At one stage I upped the ISO a bit to raise my shutter speed @f/8 which I felt I needed, to get reasonable DoF. If I did it again I would just use the D3 (no D300S but maybe a second, wider lens in my pocket instead) in M, 1/500Sec @ f/8 with auto ISO and fairly wide limits. With the D3 the noise penalty would be preferable to movement blur or loss of DoF. I am looking forward to watching the Go-Pro output, I had a very quick look at the first batch but I want to watch it right through. Right now I am mining bricks and making some track rollers for a friends digger.

Thanks Graham. Am away right now, got your message this morning but been hectic. Building up for a trip North, Logan Gardens, Ranoch Moor then Skye. Hopefully the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle and the needles of The Storr and The Quiraing. Maybe some star trails are possible if the weather is kind and security lights allow. 😉 Posted from my iPhone 😀
