Night Lights On The Sea Wall - a photo on Flickriver

            I've often seen photos on Flickr of long exposure shots taken in the deserts of the U.S of a train passing under a signal gantry at night. So wondering if I could do the same thing myself on the sea wall I set out over a couple of nights to see what I could do. This gantry is between Spray Point in the background and Parsons Tunnel behind me on the stretch into Teignmouth. 

It took me a couple of nights to get a decent shot. I had to shoot on manual focus when it got too dark for the camera to focus and I only had a small window before it got too dark after a nice blue night sky. I wanted a train coming at me so it wouldn't obscure the red light as well. I used a remote switch on a 4 second exposure. The train, if I remember correctly is a GWR Class 150 DMU from Paignton to Exmouth.
