This kind of photography is normally a very slow and painstaking process, requiring numerous test exposures and lighting experiments. It can take 15 minutes of wrangling to finally get the exposure I want. This was not that. “Oh, here comes another freight train.” I had less than 30 seconds to drop the tripod, focus and frame it and still catch the train as it lumbered through. One try to throw the lighting. 104-seconds, with red, lime, blue and white from the Protomachines flashlight.
