VOTING. When this competition reaches 10 entries, a poll will be automatically added and any member may then vote. After 2 days, voting ends and the winner is determined.

Good luck!

Philip

Congratulations on a great shot. I've got to ask, how did you do it ? fast shutter to stop the train and pp to get the motion indication on the tunnel etc ??

Cheers Dave

Hi Philip. The reason it won hands down is because it is......... superb

[PhilipM]

Thanks Dave and Dave,

Re the making of it, I would love to be able to say I had mastered panning . . . sadly, no. In fact, the train was standing still in the station. Once I had framed the train the way I wanted it, I used a "zoom blur" in PP and adjusted the focal point at the back of the train until the "lines" of the blur matched the lines of the train. Then I masked out the train.

You should have said you tracked it Philip. Much more glamourous lol

[PhilipM]

I know. My wife said I should have as well. But then, I think it is cool for people to realise that the process was not actually that complicated - anybody could have done it.

[Skyline]

It's very cool.

Congratulation Sir PhilipM
