[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 445288, member: 1746"] Thank you all in advance for the comments, and thanks for the likes and votes. The story behind the shot. It started to be an HDR (that is why you see 0.33EV in the EXIF data) BUT the train WAS moving at the time of the shot. You would think at 6fps on the D7100 you could stop the motion of the train. WRONG, when I went to process it in HDR I could not overcome the movement in the train. My first attempt was a head on shot, but it was not close enough to make the train clear. SO how do I get closer but not put myself in harms way? Well a little luck. Lucky for me this railroad uses "Pusher" units on it. So after the front of the train went by I was hoping it had a pusher unit on the end, well as luck would have it did. The next part of luck I needed was for the unit to be backwards so when it passes it looks like it's coming. Well luck was on my side again. All I had to do is wait for the end to pass me, jump behind it and grab a shot. The rest is post processing and how it was do can be found on YouTube [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVtyVO_eIQM[/URL]. It is better to shoot wide and close for this effect to really work. So there is my secret. You can use this effect for other things too just play around with it.....enjoy. [/QUOTE]
