Recording his second win in a row, recent LIPF awardee, Finbarr O’Shea took first place in Grade A in our recent ‘Transport’ competition. This is how he did it:

I recently took a spin to Cobh train station with this picture in mind for our transport compitition.

After setting up the camera I took a few test shots and decided a 3 second exposure would do the job. The train was an important part of the competition but I also wanted to feature the nice ironwork on the stations canopy.

With the camera locked in position, I just had to wait a few minutes for the train to arrive to take the shot.

Later in Lightroom I had to do a bit of work on the image that I picked, this was mainly to balance the light which I ddid with the dodge & burn tool.

I used a Canon 5DII 16-35L canon lens ISO100, F10, 3 Seconds.
