  Hi Christine: I went to the local train station and set the tripod up and attached the camera and waited for the next train to roll through. I did not need to wait long, I also put the camera on (motor drive) don’t know if that they still call it. At this train station, you can stand very close to the tracks. I took one photo after another and when the train went by, I just turned the camera around and took as many photos as I could going the other way. I am going to try to put a before and after image up for all to see, that will make it more interesting. When I got home, I had quite a few images to pick from. After deciding, I used some Topaz and contrast, and that is about it. Sincerely, Merna

  Hi Christine: I used the Adjust 4 filter from Topoaz. You can Google Topaz and look at their products. You can purchase each one seperatly, they have been on sale recently. Worth the investment. I hope that this will help. If you decide to make the purchase make sure it is loaded into your ps. Sincerely, Merna
