We were getting ready to depart for another location when I heard a diesel working northward. I grabbed my Lumix LX7 and went to make a photo, except the train was too close by the time I released the shutter. What’s wrong with this photo? Practically everything! I had the camera set wrong so the shutter speed was too slow. My angle was too tight to the tracks. The train is too close. I cut the top off the engine. The lighting angle is completely wrong (looking into hard mid-morning sun). And to make matters worse, I shook the camera adding extra motion blur to an already bad image. Also, I’m positioned under a roadway that cast a shadow on the front of the train. (Despite all these flaws, I actually was delighted with the photo. It’s so bad, its funny!)
