Phoenix Light Rail Sun Rise!
I captured this shot of a Phoenix Light Rail train as it went by early this morning during sunrise. The yellow and red colors are the rays of the morning sun reflecting off office building windows.
No Photoshop and no post editing other then sharpening and color boost this is right out of the camera. Raw image proccessed in Canon Digital Photo Professional to JPEG.
Its amazing how far in a slow shutter speed panning shot you can push the Canon 100-400 Zoom and still get a sharp photo of the moving train, I found 1/10th of a second to be about the limit.
This shot would not have been possible without the high ISO capability of my Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera and incredible stabilization of my Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens.
Thanks for all your kind comments and favs everyone!

Heck of a high pan ratio here.
gbrummett (42 months ago | reply)
Thanks philethier I felt lucky to pull this one off or maybe it's just how good Canon stabilizers are.

Thanks Karen, it's called a panning shot, set your shutter speed slow and pan with the target.

[seen in SOOC] It's a fantastic photo by any standard, but isn't applying sharpening and color boost in DPP contrary to SOOC rules?
gbrummett (42 months ago | reply)
Ahia, thanks for the comments.
Good question since it can be applied in camera for new Canon cameras.
I removed from SOOC

Sharpening and color boost are allowable in PANNING SHOTS ONLY. Post-processing addition of blurring effects are not allowable.
AzGlass (42 months ago | reply)
Wow! This is the best shot of the light rail I've seen.
Todd Wynia (42 months ago | reply)
Wow. What a great panning shot. the train is quite clear and the blurred lights of the sun on the building behind really set it off. Great work.
Photoguy9132 [deleted] (42 months ago | reply)
nice,nice colors to make it brighter,great work!
gbrummett (42 months ago | reply)
Thanks philethier well in that case mine qualifies as only added sharpening and a little color boost. Digital Photo Professional has no ability motion blur a photo.
Thanks Andre!
Thankd Todd and Photoguy9132
