Light Train Print

Last night I photographed a work train near the river. So I followed from across the river, taking photos through the trees. I used a long exposure but not too long...hand held. I was hoping to get something. It was an interesting sight the train creeping along, with about 6 cars, and a number of bright lights on each car. . . It looked like a catepillar crawling along. It's eery sound filled the night air...I believe it was lightly raining. I am intrigued by the results. I took only a few photos, that is about 40. At one point, I got out of my car and braced the camera on the hood. Camera movement was a bit of a problem. I only like a certain kind of movement. I was using a zoom lens, 70-300 holding it as still as possible, but sometimes trying panning along with the direction of the train. Eventually, I believe I pretty much settled on not panning. Because I was getting too much up and down movement in the image from the lights. When that happens you get a distorted effect...light shooting up in a line That's not how it looked. I believe there is honesty in my approach. I'm not trying to deliberately make a weird image, or fool someone looking at the photo. I'm just letting the camera do it's job of capturing the image under low light conditions. I gave up long ago trying to fight low light, and movement of the subject, And interesting images started happening. A bit of a mystery, and that's a good thing.
