Hi all

This was one of them quick thinking moments when I heard the train hurtling down the track and thought wonder what it would look like if i take a slow shutter speed shot of it travelling at least at 70MPH, and this was the result.

It's a passenger train hurtling straight past Durham station late at night, the station recorded through the gaps between the carriages, i think, it all happened so fast.

PP Resized, levels adjusted to compensate for slight underexposure, sharpened and slight saturation boost, frame and title added.

The shot was handheld with the help of a fence post.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Dean,
I love this shot because of the sharp area of the station. It really puts the rest of it in perspective. I would have maybe cloned out the little distracting light areas above the moving train and have done a workshop to see if you agree. Great idea, thank goodness for strategically placed fenceposts.
