Very happy you enjoy the shot, this was the first time I was able to capture a Milky Way scene paired with a train.

Great concept! Was this a composite of shots?


I used two images, both with the camera in the exact same location, and both were 30 seconds ISO 6400 at 14mm. I took one image before the train, and then one with the train at the far end of the tracks. I layered in the light of the train because lens flare was horrible =)

Definitely a very unique way of presenting the Milky Way. You're a brave man standing in front of an oncoming train, safe distance away or not...


Haha thanks so much! My heart was definitely pounding when I heard the whistle of the train. The 30 second exposure felt like 5 minutes hah.

I'm surprised with such a long exposure you were able to get such a nice flare, even after masking some of it out!

Matt,
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought you had somehow combined the Milky Way and the sun.
I was pleasantly surprised by your composition. Very creative and it works for me.

I was very happy with the results, great flare even at F2.8!

This shot is awesome. I work for a Canadian Railway and I'd love to have a print hanging in my office.
