A most interesting, dynamic perspective! PCA nominated.

excellent photo!
|
Exciting!
|
Interested in knowing how this was taken.
|
Thanks, I've contemplated this shot for quite awhile but never decided to try and execute it until this week.

Erick, this is more simple than one might think. I'm simply looking out the end door window on the first car of the train (which had just enough of a clean spot to get a photo without smudges). The photo was taken at 18mm, and somewhere around a shutter speed of 1/50th. HHP-8s are the only locomotives this works for on Amtrak. I'll also note that it was taken with permission; as doing so without proper credentials and/or crew awareness would likely raise some eyebrows.

How did you get this picture?!
|
Fantastic shot, Matt; a fascinating angle seldom seen by most average passengers. Congrats on the PCA!
|
Very dramatic perspective, Matt! Perfectly executed. Thanks for sharing this gem!
|
That a spark coming off the centenary?
|
Yes, that is an arc!
