My mind continues to be blown by the level of control the Natural photographic style on the #iPhone18Pro gives me over the tone-mapping in my low and mixed light images, really lets you capture dusk as dusk, like this #IrishRail train rounding the turn in the #RoyalCanal at #Leixlip Louisa Bridge.

A wide landscape view of a railcar-type train on the far bank of a canal deep into dusk. The sky is dark overhead, but yellow-orange on the right side of the horizon, showing where the sun set some time ago. The sky above is clear, and the path of the nest bank is just visible in the fading light. A single streetlight is reflected in the rippling canal on the left of the image.

Until the big update in the #iPhone18Pro Photographic Styles never interested me, but the fine-grained control over the tone mapping the Natural style enables combined with the film simulation really appeal to me. Here's an example of an #IrishRail #train reflected in the #RoyalCanal near #Leixlip

A landscape view of a dark green railcar-type train with white doors and a yellow front approaching from left to right on the far bank of a mirror-smooth canal in the late evening on an overcast day. The canal reflects the train perfectly.

Starting to experiment with the advanced camera controls in the iPhone 18 Pro Max — direct control over the shutter speed combined with focus tracking enables really nice pan blurs! An #IrishRail Commuter running along the #RoyalCanal #iPhone18Pro

A side-view of a dark green railcar-type train running next to still water with an overcast sky at dusk. The train is reflected in the canal, and it and its reflection are in sharp focus, while the rest of the scene is horizontally blurred by panning the camera with the train.

Evening express — an #IrishRail InterCity from Sligo to Dublin rounding the sharp corner between the 13th lock and Matt Goff Bridge along the banks of the #RoyalCanal near #Leixlip.

A landscape view of a back-lit railcar train on the far bank of a curving reed-lined canal with a very low sun just ahead of the train’s nose and a little above it. The low sun is a mostly clear mostly blue sky with a scattering of small white fluffy clouds. There is a footpath in the foreground running along the near bank, and large trees next to that path frame the right-top of the scene.

#irishRail’s signalling disaster. It paid #Indra ofSpain €28m for a system that failed. It wants to hire a new company but under EU procurement rules it must go through a new process. There must be some way for Europe to develop a public procurement system that works for companies and taxpayers.

Totally unbelievable that in a cost of living crisis the NTA admits that their proposed fare hikes will lead to LESS people using public transport.

This is only force more people into their cars, stuck in traffic.

Racing the train — I was genuinely curious whether the distant #IrishRail InterCity train or the approaching runner would reach me first along the banks of the #RoyalCanal easy of #Maynooth.

I was hoping the'd get to me at the same time, but alas, the train 'won', so the runner is quite small.
