  Nice image from the caped super Allan! So is this a pan or did you create the motion dffect on the computer? It's very effective!!

  Thanx Janet, Lori, Charlene, and Murry for the great comments. I can't tell a lie. I saw this train, near a crossing, waiting for another train to pass and took about 4-5 shots of it from about 50' away. Then I simulated motion using J. Zuckerman's suggested techniques from my course.
A recent article in the Toronto Star stated that some USA judges aren't allowing pix in cases any more because of Digital Photography. I wonder why? - Allan

  Thanx Colleen and Carol. Believe it or not Carol, there is some color in the rest of the shot but the motion blurs and fades it. Other than the blur there was no additional PS effects applied to this shot at all. Thanx again for your comments (which I always appreciate) and support - Allan

  In case you don't get back to see my answer under my "Tropical Trinkets" try Allan Gardens for tropical plants in Toronto (great name eh!) and in the summer try Humber aboretum. Here are the links: http://collections.ic.gc.ca/gardens/Horticulture/HorticultureContent.html
