Your camera was set to F16 1600 ISO and 10 seconds
Re-try using different settings.
Try F16, 400 ISO, 30 seconds
Focus about 1/3 to 1/2 into the photo, Maybe about the brown trash can to the right. Try a couple of different focus points.
Also if you don't have a remote trigger, use a delay to prevent the camera from shaking when you push the shutter release.
Good Luck

Hello
Just re-processed a pic I took last year and trying to get the most out of it
for printing, and suggestions to apply for a planned future re-visit. (after current bridge painting complete)
Thanks

I wish the propaganda would stop.
The “facts” change almost daily.
Bottom line is the Fact is that the vaccine is not providing any protection.
How many people do any of you know that are dying from COVID because no vaccine?
I have 2 nurses in the family, one an ER nurse. There is no big COVID rush. Hospitals are accepting visitors.
The COVID virus is simply a re-engineered corona virus. (Common cold)
It’s time to crawl out from under the bed and get back to life.
Stop screwing the kids heads up.
Getting this vaccine is not saving anyone other than maybe you. Mind your own business and open your eyes.

What was the picture of? Main subject?

As noted, lower your fstop and focus stack to keep the whole shot sharp.

HDR would work good
Bracket 5 shots

Hello
There is a new Nvidia driver on the street (471.96)
In the known issues section of the driver is the following note:
[CUDA][Turing/Volta GPUs]: Stability issues with Topaz Denoise AI. [200755368]

If you run Topaz you may want to pass on this one. If it is happening with Denoise I would expect issues with other Topaz products as well.

Here is a gopro video of a consist at the top of the mountain in Gallitzin, which is about 5 miles from Altoona.
Pusher loco's are included in the back. Another video at the curve was just uploaded and still processing.

Took a drive to Horse Shoe Curve yesterday and brought the drone.
A few pics.

I had a shot kam when learning.
Mounts to the barrel and captures the shots and -lays back in slow motion

Probably not rolling shutter imo
The arm would have been curved with the curve continuing through the racket.
The major bend happens after the hand which is also moving

Thanks for the heads up wanderer. Reading a couple of reviews looks like this is a good one.

Affinity is one of a few programs in my work flow.
I find that each piece of software has strengths and weaknesses.
If something isn’t behaving or providing the results I am looking for, the file is moved to another program for a try.

Affinity produces some good results in HDR and Plano’s, including blending multiple hdr shots into a pano.
Definitely worth having in the toolbox.

Looks good
A suggestion would be to raise the shadows and the overall shot.
The nice thing about hdr is it gives a lot more options

They have been using that as a listening device for years. Point the laser at the corner of a window. The window acts like a large microphone

Pardon the pun, but you’re focusing on the wrong thing.
As others noted, composition is the key.
The questions you are asking is the same that every one asked at some point.
Why did you go there? What interested you? What would you want the shot to look like on your wall?

There are tons of free YouTube videos regarding landscape photography as well as composition.
It will come more natural with practice.

You will definitely need a tripod. Your iso needs to get as low as possible. With this scene 100.

Learn how to use google maps 3D view to move around a scene. You will find potential places to set up. You can often get ideas from others that post pics of the spot.

On this one I personally would have wanted to be closer to the bridge with the natural lines leading directly into the beautiful sunset.
If you plan on continuing I also highly recommend installing PhotoPills on your phone.

By the way, where is the bridge located?
Good luck
