Excellent motion shot Allan!!! #370277Murry Grigsby February 10, 2004
Nice image from the caped super Allan! So is this a pan or did you create the motion dffect on the computer? It's very effective!! #370282Allan L. Whitehead February 10, 2004
Thanx Janet, Lori, Charlene, and Murry for the great comments. I can't tell a lie. I saw this train, near a crossing, waiting for another train to pass and took about 4-5 shots of it from about 50' away. Then I simulated motion using J. Zuckerman's suggested techniques from my course.Joy Brown February 10, 2004
This is a great image, Allan - well done!!! #370472Colette M. Metcalf February 10, 2004

It worked well Allan. The motion effect you used looks very realistic. Nice job. #370570Allan L. Whitehead February 10, 2004
Thanx Claudia. I really appreciate your comments and support - Allan #370582Colleen Braun February 10, 2004
great catch Allan, love the movement... #370604Carol Brill February 10, 2004
Very effectively composed and presented, Allan, and I like how that green just pops out from all the B&W! #371004Allan L. Whitehead February 10, 2004
Thanx Colleen and Carol. Believe it or not Carol, there is some color in the rest of the shot but the motion blurs and fades it. Other than the blur there was no additional PS effects applied to this shot at all. Thanx again for your comments (which I always appreciate) and support - Allan #371016Donna W. Neal February 11, 2004
