Pete is the main patron of Crewe Railway Heritage Centre it is behind our local Tesco carpark and all these pictures were taken from there.
These are also my first try with HDR taken with a Pentax ist DL2

Hi

I'm struggling to see why HDR was required on these. I think they could do with a bit of punch.

I like the shots - not sure about hdr though - Alan has a point but at least you have the decent raw material to work with so to speak
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

You don't need HDR on these James, for this type of subject I would concentrate more on the composition / exposure aspects and process them normally.

Tweak the contrast up a bit to give them more 'bite' and try some different angles if you shoot the same subjects again. There is nothing major that is wrong with the images you have posted here, but there are a few tweaks you could apply to give them more impact. For example, in the first and last (same original image) the wheels of the train cut the edge of the image frame, this could be given a little more space to make the composition more effective.

Hope this is helpful.
