My first time shooting motion at night with a tripod.

I shot this in Pomona. I have a friend who is a huge rail fan (he even works for one of the major model railroader magazines and Walthers) and he's in town until Saturday. He knows the best places to shoot trains.

ISO 200, 2 seconds at F/3.5.

C&C always welcome. :)

    Nice, Lee.

    I'm thinking if you could get a little more contrast on the gravel rail burm it mught set of the train blur better by blending less with it. Seems a bit washed out across the gravel.

    Thank you Don and Daddyo.

    I agree, Don, now that you've pointed that out to me. Gimme a couple days (I have a full weekend ahead) and I'll see what I can do. :)

    Your certainly captured the fast movement of the train.
    I'm with the other posters, it's a little washed out, needs to be darker.

    Excellent try on your part I must say thumb.gif .. Skippy :D
