I'm looking forward to my first SLR. If I ever see you again down there Nik and the opportunity exists I'll take you into the engines for some inside looking out shots. That's a bit delicate though and I'll have to talk to one or two people to make sure I don't get into trouble.

The first one looks almost computer generated, from something like 3DS-Max or Lightwave. Do you also adjust levels at all? I have seen people be able to reduce noise and artifacts that way in low light level shots. Very nice work. The first one looks almost computer generated, from something like 3DS-Max or Lightwave.

It was a pleasure meeting you the other night, and it's cool that you've stumbled upon the photos and blog post! A good place to do some research on your DSLR is <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sidebyside.asp" rel="nofollow">DP Review</a> - you can compare models side-by-side. Very helpful. Looking forward to my next photo shoot at the Train Yard ;) ------------------------------------------------------ <strong>Thanks Nick!</strong> I adjusted the levels a bit... probably could have tweaked things a bit more though. I'm not sure what was a bigger cause of the noise: creating the 32-bit HDR image from a single exposure, or the 20 seconds it took to make said exposure. Dennis -
