I was out taking some night shots a few towns over, and I hadn't really come up with anything that great. I was shooting a bank in black and white when i heard the roaring of a train. I immediatly sprinted over to the tracks, threw down my tripod, and fired the shutter with no time to compose or adjust the settings from the previous shot. I think it came out alright, let me know what you think. Thanks.
