[QUOTE="Ray, post: 322127, member: 26373"] Thanks for all the replies. I can reveal the cause of this 'mystery' and of course it is user error! On closer examination of the Exif info timestamps I realise the last in focus shot and first out of focus shot are not part of the same burst, they are about 30 seconds apart. All electric trains look the same, and the sequence of movement looked right and fooled me. Clearly I must have touched the camera and changed something before the final electric train test burst. In the field I thought was was checking the most recent burst, but obviously I wasn't. Do'h. I appreciate all the replies, as a newbie it is good to know that the members are friendly and helpful, I hope not to receive too much scorn for this cock-up. I will continue to use the forum and hopefully will be able to help someone else another time. I managed to make a composite of a shot of the steam train taken elsewhere to overlay over the first shot of one of the in-focus electric train bursts. so it wasn't a complete write off.
