I was VERY proud of this shot.
I heard the train coming - and it was moving FAST! Powered up my camera, aimed at the train, and while my shutter was open, turned to follow it, trying to keep the train focused in the picture and blur the background to show the (loco) motion. (Hee hee... I did a pun!) :lol:
I know that there is an actual photography term for this, but the photo classes I took WERE eleven years ago, so I don't remember much of anything from them.
Anyway, without further ado, my "masterpiece":

That is AWESOME. :) Way to be there morea.
thats an impressive piece of work. Good job to get the panning just right. Its a weird shot because you get a sense of movement, but its not the train thats blurred.

Yeah, it is really neat the way it is the opposite of most pictures like this that you see. She must have been panning at just the right speed to match the movement of the train. This one is getting printed and framed!!
