Thread: Pictures of my scenic train ride....

....on the DFW airport tram!

And to think this ride was free!!

I was using my tilt shift lens, trying for the mini look...I think the ones of the roads kind of get me there but I was limited by only being a couple hundred feet from them and not very high in the air.

These are also HDR shots BTW.

newbie question:
Only some portion of the pictures are clear. Lens/Camera technique?
How can we focus a particular item from a group of objects??

good question.

answer: I can achieve this using my new tilt/shift lens, Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L Tilt-Shift Lens

basically there are knobs on the side of the lens that let's me tilt (as pictured with the above pics) and shift the lens relative to the camera's sensor, thereby achieving this look.












you can also simulate the look in PS...but I'd rather spend more time shooting myself!

Cool stuff (as always)! What were you doing at DFW? Did you just go on a vacation and not tell me about it?

it was like a month ago, had to go home to vt, grandfathers funeral (he was 90)

I think 84% of flights out of austin go through dfw for connecting flights !

Very cool pics Tim...

Continuing our tour of the lovely Dallas airport we see an empty luggage cart, a plane taxiing and my favorite, the tram tunnel.

On the 3rd one, I can't really remember how far away that was. It looks like several hundred feet but then again I didn't have a chance to notice much as I was looking through the viewfinder most of the way!







I had thought about taking a round trip but I didn't know how long that would have taken!

ride that tram!

Love the pictures, Tim!

Definitely not, and I love how they turn out like those little models they use when designing places, it almost looks like it's not real, like mini airplanes and stuff.

that's part of the fun, trying to minify it!

these, not from the tram!
