Speed of a Train

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to reach position Perfect?

It is an HDR and I deliberately gave it a grungy & dreamy look. It was a still train and I have added motion blur in the post processing. (Just for fun).

Thank You

So that is what it looks like under there, only a few bits missing nothing important, very good job with the motion blur and the grungy look works great. Very nice shot.

Interesting concept, but I wonder about the execution of the motion blurr. From the perspective of the camera (which would have to be mounted under the rail car to get this view), the motion blurr would not be linear. Objects that are closer to the lens would be more blurred than objects that are further way, yet the blurr is even, so this somehow just does not look quite right. The greenery in the distance shouldbe sharper, as would the ties in the distance. The train wheels blurr should reflect the relative motion of the train on the tracks, yet they seem sharper than the tracks. On the other hand, if the train wheels were slipping while brakes were applied, there would be less relative motion, so this could happen under certain conditions.

I'm not a great fan of the grunge setting in HDRI either, but that is just personal taste. Regardless, great job!

I think that is a great effect, Raj - it works for me; well done!

Nicely done indeed; why i feel a tilt to left

Thanks for your valuable review. It was my first attempt with the motion blurs with photoshop. Will surely try to correct as suggested and check the other motion images too to work on it.

Thank You For your Valuable review. It is indeed a tricky one. If it try to straighten the whole car then the front rod will look tilted. When i took the shot, my camera has an built gyroscope for leveling and i took according to that. I tried to straighten the whole bogie then that front rod gets tilted and again it gives an illusion for a tilt.

What do you suggest? Should i straighten the whole bogie and ignore front rod getting tilt or should i keep as it is?

Oh, was that a curvature of the rail track? in that case outer one will have a natural elevation to maintain balance while train move on.
Now i think it is better you leave it as such
