@Krys Gruba Beautiful pictures. Sharpness is great. The more closed your aperture is the finer the detail but usually means a slower shutter but if you have plenty of light should be no problem. Of course you can always jack up ISO and if you get some noise LRC is excellent at removing it in one click-even if it takes a minute. Keep shooting--you're taking some excellent shots!

@Krys Gruba uh...if you're going to tie people to the railroad tracks while a train is coming (lol, I know, you didn't mean that radical) you might want to just do it as a composition project with Photoshop. Long exposures can result in being able to lower ISO settings but if your looking for the crispness your photos above have things like water motion (detail) disappears. You seem determined though and as this is all a form of art, you'll find your niche. lol, I'm still looking for mine. Best wishes for future shoots.

Caught this at Carmel by the Sea--Monterey Bay, California, USA

@Bryan Mason Sorry for the late reply. I'm not really a pro and mostly do things like family events and anything that gets in the way of my lens. What kind of pictures are you looking for and maybe I can help you out. In a couple of days though I'll go through the SD cards I have cataloged and see what I have that is neat. As far as pay goes...donations for the ministry we sponsor in the Philippines would be great. Its late now and a long day 2morrow but will be in touch.

@Deborah.h Smith Thanks for the compliment. I think I get lucky sometimes taking pictures and of course sometimes the edited version isn't anything like the original but, since I got a nice mirrorless camera pictures come out just the way I see them in the view finder. I've probably been doing it at odd moments for around (wow) 20 years or so. I'm not a pro though but sometimes I see a challenge like this coming holiday season I'm going to the Philippines to shoot my nieces wedding (not as a 1st or 2nd shooter but more like "mercenary" style). My brother n law will probably be the hired photographer but I have a list of the shots I want and some photoshop comp ideas.
