Leslie and I just happened to be walking the bike path when we heard the whistle blow at the crossing two miles behind us. We quickly jogged the hundred yards to the bridge and set up the tripod and camera.

I set an aperture of 4.5 which gave me a shutter speed of 1.6 seconds, metering on the sky overhead.

"Here it comes!" she said. I selected continuous mode, pressed the shutter, and held it down.
