Challenge: Perspective IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR
Location: Congers, New York
Date: Nov 17, 2006
Aperture: f-11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/10
Galleries: Rural, Transportation
Date Uploaded: Nov 17, 2006

This was the last of 3 photos I shot of a train coming at me. I forgot to turn of the VR on the lens, since the camera was mounted on a tripod and that tends to mess up the focus.

I really have no idea how far the train was from me, as soon as the shutter snapped shut I grabbed the tripod and ran for it.

Damn! How close were you?

The focus on the whole image is too soft. That detracts from the drama and sense of danger. It also looks washed out on my monitor. I'd try sharpening, saturation, and contrast. That may improve it, but I don't think it will make up for the original poor focus.

the train should probably be sharp for this to work. good leading lines.

Nothing appears to be in focus, perhaps you did this purposely but I don't get the point

If you hadn't missed the focus on the train this would have been great.

Great ( and scary ) idea !!!
Wish the train was a little more in focus.

It's a shame this was not a bit sharper, it's an excelent shot, with the train comming straight at you, lighting, and framing are both excelent, just a bit soft, could be you were running low on time.
