Correct shutter speed for railway photography

26/08/2007 21:41

Hi all,

Taking railway photography recently.

Trying to get a balance between fast shutter speed and depth of field.

I normally use a 28-75mm f2.8 Minolta lens.

For my mainline railway, I normally use a shutter of 800th sec, but with a 100asa tranny and sunny conditions, is only giving me betwewen f3.5-4.5 normally.

Is this going to be ok for pics, of will depth be rubbish. Normally shooting at infinaty on lens.

Any help.

Graham
