Hi Mary, Alex, GG, and Golda. Thanks for your nice comments on my photo. I'm still surprised it came out as good as it did. Everything was moving from the train, the hand waving, and me panning the camera. Golda there are two types of polarizing filters and they are like putting polarizing sunglasses on your camera, and putting good polarizing sunglasses in front of your lens will work... The circular ones you can adjust the amount of the polarizing by turning the filter. Here is a page that will explain it much better. For the best results turn them until the shot is bright then keep turning until it starts to get a little darker. Most people turn the effect up to much. Anyway if you don't have one you should think about getting one. Here is the page about them. http://tinyurl.com/kdn5

This picture has speed written all over it,and yet the hand is stationary.There is a certain romance connected to trains.I think it reminds us of a different pace.

It may not win an award, but it looks like a special shot. Certainly somehting to remember however. Never saw an train engineer wave or toot his horn for a passer by. This is special.

How thrilling! I like the sound of trains and great that he waved and gave a toot. :) Nice shot.
