Back on 9 April 2017, I exposed this view of my iPhone while traveling on Dublin’s LUAS Green Line.
The photo displayed on the phone was of a tram I’d photographed a week earlier in Brussels using my Lumix LX7 that was the featured post on Tracking the Light.

You could call this ‘Tracking the Light on Tracking the Light.’
Among the features of the Fuji X-T1 is a setting to make broad panoramic images. This is done by sweeping the camera across a scene as it exposes a burst of images in rapid succession. The camera’s internal software then assembles the images as a horizontal image.
Dusk at Sean Heuston Bridge looking toward Heuston Station. I’ve made a broad sweep using the panorama feature. This sews together a bunch of images exposed in rapid order.
Using this feature as intended will produce a convincing panoramic photograph. However if subjects move they may appear more than once or become altered beyond recognition.
I experimented by panning a LUAS tram in panoramic mode. The result looks like the world’s longest tram.
I set the panoramic mode as I panned a LUAS tram arriving at Heuston Station. The effect was this image that appears to be ‘the world’s longest tram.’
