Light Train
Light Train is one of those fun night images. This shot was taken from about 10 stories up and was captured with a long exposure at around 2 in the morning. The train signaled its approach to this area which gave me about 90 seconds to set up for this. Fortunately, as you can see I just made it as the train was passing into view I triggered the shutter release and luck took care of the rest. The eerie glow of the headlight followed by the boxcar side lights sets this shot off well.

I just had to share my feelings about this photograph. The sexy curves of light are just so deliciously saturated. Wonderful! One of the most gorgeous photo of a train I have come across.

I really love this work. I sat for while just starring at it. The composition is excellent! The light effects gives it a chiaroscuro appeal. I love it.
