My post ‘I’m Uncertain about this One . . .<\/a>‘ (from Sunday, February 1), resulted in considerable feedback! Several readers wrote to me with cropping suggestions that improved the overall appearance of the image. (Thank you!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is another view from Rattenburg, exposed a few minutes earlier on the same evening (12 January 2007). This is a long time exposure looking back toward my vantage point (by the lamp to the left of the tracks) from Sunday’s post. In this photo, I like the effect of the train streaking into the tunnel at Rattenberg, Austria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My shutter was opened for about 30 seconds to allow the train lights to streak. The headlight streak was the result of a locomotive at the rear of the train. The unusually long exposure allow the sky to fill in a bit, despite the winter darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This evening (Wednesday, Feb 4, 2026) is my next class at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania and details night photography techniques.
