On the 5th anniversary of this nations worst terrorist attack, this proves that America is still moving forward, stronger than ever! Nice Shot!!

Except this is in Canada! Ryan Martin is on the right 'track' on how it's done.

I think I let everybody hang long enough...
To get this shot I mounted my camera to a tripod. I set the slow shutter setting and the 10 sec. delay. I then hung the camera upside down off the unit at hoped it was pointing at the right spot. It took a few tries to get the perfect shot between not pointing in the right direction and camera shake. This shot was at 1/15 of a sec. This needs to be taken in low light or the effect will not work. If its too bright out the background will over expose.

How did you mount/carry your tripod? Mr. Mackenzie.
I think, camera, tripos and you were all moving with the train.

I was standing on the walkway of the locomotive behind the engineer. I extended the tripod as far as it would go. I kept the legs together and held on to the very end of the legs as I lowered it down the side. With the camera mounted on the bottom, the whole unit was upside down. I had to make a 'best guess' as to what I was shooting at. After I got the shot I wanted, I used the camera menu to turn the photo 180 degree's.

Cool Shot!
