tbranch Posted January 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2008 I always see many pictures of trains on a slant angle...do anyone have a full length picture of a subway car from end to end and why are they o hard to find or photograph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransitGuy Posted January 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2008 The larger sizes are in the gallery under TransitGuy. I think its harder to get the whole car since it really depends on the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any particular reason you want full side pictures of the cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted January 29, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2008 The problem is that the car is generally longer than what the camera can get at platform distance. As well, it is kinda bland, as you don't really get perspective, but the side images can be useful for, of say, a model or skin. I wish I could point you towards some, but there aren't much around.

As for wide-angle/fisheye, from what I've seen they're quite expensive, but worth it I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted January 29, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 29, 2008 Just shoot the picture 16:9 which would be wide screen. But even that isn't so necessary, just have to walk back far enough for the picture. I have this one picture from Nov 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even that isn't so necessary, just have to walk back far enough for the picture. I have this one picture from Nov 2006. 16:9 is widescreen, but from my tests, the only thing it really does is chop off the top and bottom, there isn't any special lens deal, it'd work the same with 4:3, just that has the top and bottom. I find it's really just the distance you are from the train, but fisheye would work and look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
