Spent the morning amongst the trains again. Firstly the Milson Bridge where 624 was running (unusual for a Friday in my experience). Then walked up to Roberts Line/Richardsons Line for the 3 regulars, and finally down to Mihaere Drive overbridge for a shot of 628 - a location I haven't tried before with the new camera. As a bit of an experiment I tried the HG rather than the HA setting for my output. HG files are typically 75% the size of the HA files and the loss of quality was acceptable to me. I don't as yet know if I can shoot in HA quality and then convert to HG, HZ, or HE from HA output. I'm using a camera tripod (Takara TF-2631) and am slowly learning how to make the best of it. However I can see myself becoming frustrated enough to invest in a 400-500 dollar video tripod at some later stage. Anyway enough of all this - the following trains were filmed: 1. 624 Palmerston to Napier freight. DX5166. 8:35 am. Milson Bridge. 2. 200 Wellington to Auckland passenger (Overlander). 30249. 9:50 am. Roberts Line. 3. 232 Wellington to Auckland freight. 30094 & 30232. 9:55 am. Roberts Line. 4. 221 Auckland to Wellington freight. 30226 & 30157. 11:00 am. Richardsons Line. As usual this train is hard to film along Railway Road from head-on since shooting is almost directly into the sun. Dull days are better. 5. 628 Palmerston to Napier freight. DX5120. 12:45 pm. Mihaere Drive Bridge. Worked very well (except in some measure the lighting) because, with no panning or angling ...
