<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday morning, 6 September 2019, I took position at the far end of Dublin Connolly Station platform 4 to photograph RPSI\u2019s Empty Cravens arriving from the Inchicore Work in preparation for boarding and departure of the annual Steam Dreams excursion. (More on that tomorrow!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to make both long telephoto and wide angle views of the train. To accomplish this I could use my FujiFilm XT1 with a telephoto and then switch to my Lumix LX7 as the train approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for the sake of convenience instead I opted to work exclusively with the XT1 for this sequence, and fitted the camera with a 18-135mm zoom lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no one \u2018right\u2019 way to execute an image (or images) but different equipment choices will produce varied results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One reason for my using the XT1 for the whole sequence was a function of the lighting conditions. My Panasonic Lumix LX7 is an excellent camera in many respects. However, I\u2019ve found that it has a slightly narrower dynamic range, probably owing to smaller file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many situations this subtle difference doesn\u2019t matter, but with Friday\u2019s lighting, I wanted to be able to pull in sky detail in post processing, and from past experience the XT1 RAW files leave more to work with than those from the LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
