My first trial and error "movie" with a DSLR camera, earlier only used for pictures. Date 28th of May 2014 at Strömtorp rwy station, Sweden. Strömtorp is approx.halfways between Stockholm and Oslo on the main railway connecting those capitals of Sweden and Norway. My purpose was to test the rig and some camera settings. Two passenger trains were supposed to pass me coming over the yard of Strömtorp station "up" into the camera in a timespace of exactly 10 minutes, first a Tågab one, then a grey "SJ Snabbtåg" (earlier X2000). The first one, Tågab train no 7027 with a blue ex. SJ loco, Rc3 1052 was almost on time but affected by a interruption in the power system( a fallen catenary) forcing it to operate a shortened distance, Herrljunga-Kristinehamn instead of Gothenburg-Karlstad. The use of only one coach could be due to this was the day before the Ascension Day and an expected low number of pax. ( I know, pax. is "air-ish"..) Due to further traffic disturbances somewhere else on the system, an unexpected crossing took place between the very late X2 2017 powered grey "SJ Snabbtåg" no 643 Stockholm-Arvika, which you can see taking the right hand siding, and the loco SJ Rc6 1385 powered SJ no 58 Oslo-Stockholm. Scheduled, this crossing was supposed to be further west in Kristinehamn. Used equipment/settings Camera Canon Eos 5D, mk III, with a 24-105 Canon zoom lens, 24 frames/second and 1920x1080p. Focus manually set before shooting. Seems OK to me when using ISO 1250, f 20 and 1/320 sek shutterspeed. Manfrotto ordinary tripod(not a video one) and a designated Manfrotto video head. Sound by built in mic. Learnt lessons: I need to add separate sound and windprotected recording (or a separate mic), a focus puller(for the zoom ring- not the focus ring) and to watch out better for my own shadow.. Editing requires a speedier computer, both the CPU but also the HDD:s. Playback during editing was OK as long as no effects were added. With effects, it lagged even with proxy clips which is possible in Kdenlive. The worst vind- and other noisy sounds were washed away using Audacity to create separate sound tracks.
