This is different David...hmmm ~ "lines and light"?

That's smart. I should use trains more often and take some real pics. I've taken some passable ones with my camera phones over the past couple of years - reflections on trains are nice and strong and work well even on low res pics.
I'd call it Cause and Reflect. Those are the power lines carrying electricity that powers the lights and the train itself...

Aegir: cool, I like 'cause and reflect'. If anyone else has any ideas please let me know otherwise I'll go with Aegir's suggestion.

I'm beginning to feel that my naming skills need sharpening up a bit ;-)

Great capture. I like "Cause and Reflect" myself. Either that or "Second the Motion"

You got the perfect exposure. I like dark images. Great!

one more vote for Aegir's 'cause and reflect'. that's awesome!

Wonderfully consistent magical photographic images!!! Thank you. What can you tell us about using the new DPP raw converter vs Photoshop CS? By the way after viewing your blog for awhile, I am putting Blackpool on the itinerary for my next UK visit. Not a place I would have thought of until spending time with your ongoing photographic essay.

David, this is VERY nice. Completely unqualified praise from me!
My title suggestion: "Wire Lightning"

I'd call this "source of incandescence" because without the power source you would not have lights. Maybe not true for a train, but even still.
comment bymiklos at 05:40 AM (GMT) on 2 December, 2004
Revising my last statement: The power lines may not apply to the train, but even still.
Yes. Something like that.

Thanks everyone.
As for the title: I think 'cause and reflect' probably gets closest to 'reflecting' what I was after with this shot. Thanks Aegir :-)
Rick: on the whole I prefer DPP to Photoshop for converting RAW images – the colours seem richer (and more accurate) and I prefer its sharpening routine. Also, if I'm batch processing anything there's no contest, DPP wins hands down. But Photoshop is a good option for long exposures as it seems to automatically remove hot pixels from the originals. This is no big deal for ordinary shots, but for my long exposure night shots it saves a considerable amount of time.

Eyy! Do I win a prize? ;)
comment bydjn1 at 10:08 PM (GMT) on 2 December, 2004
Aegir: err, hmmm, is there anything you'd like as a prize? ;-)
