Centripetal Force - a photo on Flickriver

Centripetal Force

            Getting the shot: Traditionally, long exposures require a steady camera which meant that once the train was underway I had to press the lens firmly against the glass to hold it still -- something that takes a fair bit practice (and luck!) as the the lens wants to slide across the glass with every bump and jerk. The train ride is only about a minute long and I think I took around 20 shots as we passed through its straights and curves. This was one of the last images I took and is my favorite. Note that aside from color correction there is no PS going on here, it is essentially "as shot".
