Challenge: Yellow Revisited (Basic Editing II)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Location: Country road north of Brownsville,TX
Date: Dec 1, 2004
Aperture: 32
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/30
Date Uploaded: Dec 3, 2004

 I have driven by this warning sign many times and decided to include it in the Yellow Revisited Challenge. I live about 1 mile from the crossing. Trains do not run on a regular schedule and I had to be aware when one was coming. When I heard one approaching, sooner than I expected, I grabbed my camera, got in my truck and headed for the crossing. I arrived about 20 seconds before the train and had time for only one shot. It was an overcast day, so no nice blue sky.
I think the yellow warning sign and the train at the crossing leads to the impact of the challenge

Wonderful shot. Clarity of stationary sign with a moving blured train in background. Very good timimg.

This is a nice idea, and not a bad shot - maybe a slower shutter in future - I would have preferred more motion blur on the train. 5.

Nice shot, the train in the background adds the extra touch.

Nice! The train blur makes it look like it's moving right along. 8

Very nice display of motion. The fixed sign is definitely fixed. It is neat how close the bottom of the sign comes to the top of the engine. I love the composition except fot the vines or whatever covering the railroad crossing sign on the right side. A 9.

Nice. Would have been better to get a little more movement in the train, and perhaps framing the front.
