The Blink of an Eye - a photo on Flickriver

            17 October 2010.  Berkeley, CA.

An Amtrak California train speeds through a signal bridge on the Union Pacific's Martinez subdivision.

Cameras with focal-plane shutters have to be used with care for for blurred motion studies, but I think the vertical distortion at the nose of the locomotive may work here.

Nikkor 24mm/3.5 PC-E lens (@ f/8), Nikon D3x camera (@ ISO 100).

No emulsions were harmed in the making of this image.
